Delta State Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has hit back at those criticising President Muhammadu Buhari over his achievements in his 100 days in office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Reacting weekend in Asaba to the criticism of the President, Delta State PRP chairman, Comrade Emmanuel Odafe Igbini, in a statement stated that there is no constitutional basis to justify attacks by some Nigerians on “alleged non-performance of President Muhammadu Buhari in his 100 days in office in terms of execution of projects and policies. We have carefully distilled the following critical issues to evaluate his actions.”
Igbini stated the President has clearly showed a new direction and commitment towards ensuring improvement in the nation’s security, which he has done with his decision to eliminate corruption and reported looting of funds approved for purchase of military equipment and allowances for officer and men of the security agencies.
He said: “We commend his decision to reposition the Defence Industry Corporation of Nigeria, DICON, towards production of military weapons for Nigerian security agencies rather than rely on other nations for supply. However, we agree that the war against Boko Haram is still a major challenge that may take longer time to overcome.
“While we commend his probe of alleged monumental looting of public funds, it is still very early to draw conclusion on President Muhammadu Buhari’s war on corruption as probing of past government is not enough basis to judge the commitment and success of this war by an incumbent government.
“The most critical factor for assessing the commitment and success of this war should be on proven record of transparency and accountability of the incumbent government in the management of the resources and funds belong to our nation.”
