The PDP has said under president Buhari's regime ,Nigeria is
experiencing the gloomiest festive season.In a statement on Tuesday, by
its National Publicity Secretary, Chief
Olisa Metuh, the PDP said,
“rather than evolving economic initiatives
to improve the lot of the citizens, this administration has, in the last
seven months churned out policies that stifle productivity in the
formal and informal sectors, thereby inflicting hardship on them. This
has resulted in the semi-destruction of the long-standing extended
family system in our society.
“It is a statement of fact that under President Buhari’s watch, the
nation has witnessed the gloomiest festive season.
Under this
government, Nigerians have had the worst Sallah celebration and by all
indications, this Christmas season is going to be the bleakest ever.
“More worrisome is the fact that there is no indication that the
government has any plan for ameliorating the hardship of the people.
Instead, the situation may get worse as this administration, in its lack
of economic initiatives, is now rolling up its sleeves to introduce
some stringent tax policies, in addition to completely removing the
social palliatives Nigerians benefit from,”
On the issue of the persisting fuel queues across the country, the
PDP demanded that the government come clean, asking:
“Is it market
driven or a product of government conspiracy? Our take is that if indeed
it is true that the government has a hand in this fuel crisis, then
they should have a rethink and show pity on innocent Nigerians.”
“We therefore align with the people in declaring that this
administration is unprepared for governance. President Buhari and his
party came to power on propaganda, deceit and falsehood and the
government has now shown lack of initiatives and the required competence
to successfully move the nation forward,“We advice the government to note that any attempt to increase taxes
and duties will overstretch the lean income of ordinary Nigerians and
gradually inflict intolerable poverty in the land,”
