In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, on Wednesday, the party said that the present administration had so far, played heavily on dramatising routine procedures and processes, which was even glaring in the prolonged swearing-in ceremony of the ministers.
The party said that the much-expected assignment of portfolios to the ministers did not inspire confidence that there was indeed any change being introduced in the system.
‘Not Actually Broke’
“With the inauguration, the APC administration should fully resolve the issues on the actual position of the nation’s economy and the direction therein.
“Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari had announced that the nation is bankrupt to the extent he cannot pay his Ministers, his new Minister of Information, Mr Lai Mohammed, had contradicted him directly by stating how the government is buoyant and ready to deploy $2.5 billion infrastructure fund, saved 1.4 trillion Naira with another 2.5 trillion Naira ready as special intervention fund, which goes to say that the country is not actually broke,” the PDP explained.
The party further urged the new Ministers to note the challenge before them regarding the image of the country, which it claimed that the APC government had changed from being the ‘Heart of Africa’ and a country of ‘Good people, Great nation’ to that of ‘Corrupt people, Broke nation’.
“Furthermore, we counsel the Ministers, especially those who will be the face of the government, to note that the campaigns are over. Nigerians therefore will no longer condone propaganda, lies and deceit but expect a responsible dissemination based on truth, honesty and openness”, the opposition party’s statement read.
