      April 14, 2020 Press Statement Accept Failure, Provide Palliatives, PDP Replies Buhari Presidency The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has berated the Buhari Presidency for throwing tantrums at Nigerians for complaining about President Muhammadu Buhari’s failure to provide palliatives to cushion the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in our country. The party said rather than listening to Nigerians, shed its corruption and take urgent steps to address the issue of panacea being raised by poor masses whose means of livelihood have been crippled by the restriction order, the Buhari Presidency chose to spew vituperations against the PDP just to divert public attention from its failure. Our party holds that our position on Mr. President’s speech completely embodies the feeling and mood of Nigerians across board, as national commentaries have shown, and what Nigerians expected was for Mr. President to accept his lapses and immediately take steps to address the iss...

PDP SHOULD STOP THEIR CAMPAIGN OF DISORGANIZATION.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
      By Garba Shehu Something must definitely be wrong with Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) if they would-as they did yesterday- dismiss the important national broadcast by President Muhammadu Buhari as “disappointing,” a speech for which the European Union, through their Ambassador to Nigeria, congratulated the President, describing it as ‘‘a very powerful address to the nation last night.” But by no means is this the first shocker for Nigerians from a party that sees itself as the alternative government. The PDP has opposed every single decision taken in the interest of national security by the Buhari administration. The week before, they celebrated a foreign leader who they invited to come and tutor President Muhammadu Buhari, an army General and a successful war commander, on how to fight Boko Haram terrorists. This is a leader who has transformed the armed forces in the last five years and brought them to a respectable standing among nations. They ques...
