Opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, has reacted to the recent statement of President Buhari, where he claimed to have met an empty treasury.
Buhari had on Monday, June 22, stated that Nigerians should not expect too much in his first 100 days in office because he met the treasury empty and inherited a government drowning in huge debts.

The PDP, in its response to the statement, said the President should stop giving excuses and start doing the work he was elected to do. Read below, a statement released on Tuesday, June 23, by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh. “While we restate our resolve to engage only in credible and issue based opposition, we want the
President and the APC to note that their plea for patience from Nigerians does not arise, because
ab-initio, there has not been any indication that they are actually serious and determined to deliver
on their campaign promises upon which they rode to power. “Of course Nigerians are willing to
support and cooperate with the President, but we are worried that the pictures emerging from his
presidency and his party do not in any way inspire hope in the citizenry, especially as they have
continued to show that theirs is ostensibly a matter of obtaining power by false pretenses. “President Buhari and the APC must know that Nigerians did not give them the mandate to engage in frivolous excuses and pleas but to hit the ground running with solutions and quick fixes they promised during the campaigns. We ask, is President Buhari’s
statement an admission of poor knowledge of national and international economic affairs or
does it underscore the lack of capacity and skills by the administration to effectively harness and galvanize resources and potential inherent in Nigeria which has already been nurtured as
Africa’s largest economy and one of the fasted growing in the world. “Even if Nigerians decide to wait endlessly, we wonder how much the President can achieve amidst the flip-flops from his presidency and cacophony of interests from his
party leaders struggling to enlarge their selfish political and economic frontiers. “How can one reconcile President Buhari’s statement with the recent ridiculous and misleading claim by APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed that this administration has achieved in three weeks what the immediate past administration did not achieve in five years? “Since after their electoral victory, the APC and the President have continued to expose their lack of commitment towards their
campaign promises. “We recall that on May 5, 2015,
twenty-four days before his inauguration, President Buhari at a meeting with APC leaders in Abuja
opened the excuse galore when he expressed his nervousness to deliver in office, adducing that
‘Rome was not built in a day’. “We also recall that in their attempt to find an escape route in one of
their bogus campaign promises, the APC denied that the President ever promised Nigerians that they will end insurgency two months after inauguration but had to swallow their words after the PDP confronted them with the April 22,
2015 CNN interview where Buhari made that promise. “Indeed, we empathize with the President knowing that the confusion and clear lack of direction in his party have not helped matters, but we urge him to rise up to the challenge, take urgent steps and disentangle himself from the
selfish and unpatriotic tendencies of APC leaders, especially given the fact that Nigerians gave him a
mandate for which they will continue to hold him accountable. “Finally, the PDP restates that it is
eager to see the APC and the President unveil their economic road map and blueprint for governance so as to enable us through robust opposition, provide credible alternatives and options for
their policies and programmes in the overall interest of our dear nation”.

....Their balls don even tire me.

But Nigerians rejected PDP for giving excuses, what a bunch of hypocrites !!!!

comparing the 1980's to 2015 could be disastrous.

The man is still trying to comprehend.

This is the case of a charcoal calling a pot black.

The reason is high hopes are piled up on PMB. We should probably give him still his first 100 days in office or a year. After which we can all cry out our disappointments in him.

trying to comprehend what? When he was making vague and bogus promise he understood the country now that it has come to walk the talk he is trying to understand.

Time wait for no body; PBM is already 72, vitality is not his friend. The slower he becomes, the better for sceptics, and the opposition.

God bless PMB, the _________.

Do they need people on the streets before they know we need action now!

I so much thank God for the "ChAnGE".

PMB was really brain-dead, sorry I mean brainless when he was making some of those unrealistic promises.

So. he should not talk when you've looted the treasury.

Who is now the president? Brainless PMB or GEJ? It beholds PMB to arrest and prosecute the looters, else he should shut his licky licky mouth.

Them go need to beg Baba before him go know say him no de try?

Why is it taking PMB so long to make his change visible? Don't he know that the much preached change is the 1001 promises he made during his campaign.

I think baba is still in West Germany with President Michelle.

APC and PMB has not seen pressure and they have started fumbling. What will now happen when the real pressure starts coming?
