The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday said “the prevailing widespread disenchantment being expressed by Nigerians over the inept handling of governance and insincerity so far exhibited by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government has become a huge source of worry for the health of the nation.”

The party noted that the attitude of the APC administration to governance in the last five months and the feelings of a cross section
of Nigerians underscore the fact that notwithstanding the setback of the last general elections, PDP remains the only true pan-Nigeria
vehicle that guarantees the unity, stability and prosperity of the nation as well as the welfare of citizens irrespective of
class, creed and tribe.

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, PDP said it was now manifest to all that the APC administration is completely bereft of ideas needed to effectively manage the nation, a consequence of which is the sudden decline in the economy, general anxiety and prevailing unhappiness and grumbling among most citizens.
“The apparent lack of capacity and ingenuity by this APC government to run the affairs of our dear nation has become evident in the myriads of
political and economic glitches that have bedeviled the polity since it took office on May 29.
“Nigerians, going by their comments, are deeply disturbed that instead of focusing on issues that directly touch on their lives, especially given its long list of campaign promises, the APC administration has remained high on propaganda, violating the constitution for partisan
capital, hounding perceived political enemies; while at the same time continuing in their trick of hoodwinking the populace, using their so-called body language theory in the attempt to appropriate achievements of the previous PDP administration.”

Part of the statement read: “Instead, what we witness is an appalling cosmetic governance, where endless drama and theatrics of the APC government have reduced governance to an unproductive reality show, which lack even the basic
production quality of regular Telemundo shows.
“This administration has shown itself to be the most unprepared government in the history of our country since independence, be it military or civilian. This is a verifiable fact and we challenge the APC to prove us wrong by showing Nigerians any government that they are better than, in terms of organization, direction, performance or any other indices within the period of their first five months in office.
“We now have a situation where routine and mundane duties and appointments by government have become subjects of major national
discussions, while the main business of governance suffers, with persons claiming closeness to the seat of power perpetuating financial sleazes
in the system under the so-called “New Sherriff”.
“Unfolding events are beginning to show to Nigerians that the APC is indeed not the desirable alternative to the PDP, but a band of power
grabbers, who swindled the electorate to get into office using false promises and propaganda. This is more so as it has become obvious, given
its arrogance, that the APC has no predisposition to change from the insincerity, ineptitude and undemocratic tendencies it has exhibited in
the last five months.”
The party therefore charged all its members to close ranks and remain committed to the ongoing rebuilding effort in the party in
the interest of the nation and welfare of all citizens. “As a party built on the strength of the people as the driving force of democracy, our interest, at all times lies on the overall wellbeing of the citizens. We are therefore reengineering and addressing all issues that led to our temporary setback while assuring Nigerians that we will, at the end of the day, present a stronger and more focused platform to
rescue our dear nation from the APC and return power to the people, to whom it rightly belongs, come 2019,” it noted.
