Lagos State branch of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did nothing good for the nation in its 16-year rule.
This was mentioned in a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, on Thursday.
The statement stated the only thing the PDP did was to loot the treasury and run the country aground.
Igbokwe, therefore, wondered why the PDP would continue to insult President Muhammadu Buhari who had only been in office for less than four months.
The statement reads in part:
“Nigerians are very much aware of the notorious record of despoliation left behind by the PDP which obtains in freely stealing resources that would have bettered the lots of Nigerians and leaving the country prostrate.

“This was the single greatest reason that led to the humiliating defeat the PDP suffered in March. But the party, choosing to play the ostrich, have struggled to make funny allegations that a President Muhammadu Buhari government that has made so much efforts to clear the mess left behind by the PDP, is not performing when it has no known record of performance to show for its 16 years of bizarre wreckage of the country and its economy.”

Accusing the PDP of plotting to pit the millions of Nigerians who voted for 'change' in the last general elections against the Federal Government by distracting the Buhari administration, the ruling party urged the opposition to bury its head in shame.
Igbokwe advised Nigerians not to be deceived by the many lies of the PDP.
He also urged the President to ignore the 'noise' of the PDP, adding that Nigerians were in support of his anti-graft war.
“Lagos APC has, therefore, advised Nigerians to ignore the antics of the PDP and rather ensure that the party continues its retrogressive march to the grave for the grave sin it committed against Nigerians for 16 harrowing years," the statement added.
“We urge Nigerians to continue to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s effort to clear the debris the PDP heaped on Nigeria through very strict management of the resources of the country and through an anti-corruption battle that will dislodge the corrupt structures the PDP employed to loot the country’s treasury.”
