President Muhammadu Buhari
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) lacks the moral justification to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari to a debate on good governance.
The party made this known in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yekini Nabena, in Abuja, describing the challenge by the PDP as laughable and incredible.
Concise had gathered that PDP had recently challenged Buhari to a debate on good governance ahead of the 2019 general elections.
The APC stated that as a party synonymous with impunity, institutionalised corruption, non-remittance of 20 billion dollars oil revenue, among others, the PDP was not in a position to debate on good governance.
“A party whose administration placed the economy on life-support through its voodoo economics and fiscal recklessness, the PDP cannot be in a position to debate on good governance.
“We view this request by the PDP as another laughable example of its selective amnesia on the 16 years of locust it wrecked on Nigeria during its defunct rule.
“Perhaps the PDP needs to be reminded of the reason why Nigerians voted it out unanimously in 2015 to give way to a progressive administration,” it said.
As stated by the party, it is re-building the country in all facets, from the foundation since it came into power in 2015.
