You Can’t Blackmail, Intimidate Us — PDP Tells Buhari by msmon(m): 5:06pm On Jun 29, 2015 |
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said that no amount of “intimidation, blackmail and propaganda” by the Presidency would stop it from demanding that President Muhammadu Buhari kick-starts government and commence implementation of his campaign promises for which he was voted into office. PDP had on Sunday said that Mr. Buhari’s first 30 days in office saw Nigeria only in motion without movement. Mr. Buhari promptly replied the PDP saying he is taking his time to clean the rot left by the party. The PDP, however, said the Presidency’s excuse of clearing the “so-called Augean Stable” is lame and diversionary noting that it stands by its statement that the delay is creating loopholes through which some persons claiming closeness to the President have infiltrated executive bodies, arm-twisting and conniving with unscrupulous elements in the bureaucracy to syphon the nation’s resources in the last 30 days. The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Monday said the party would not in any way be cowed by threats and wild allegations by the Presidency into abdicating its responsibility of speaking out as an opposition party where the system is derailing. “The PDP and indeed all well- meaning Nigerians were appalled by the response from the Presidency regarding our call for prayers to enable President Muhammadu Buhari- led APC administration locate its bearing, compose a government and halt the prevailing stagnation with its huge negative impact on the system. “Instead of addressing the issues raised, the Presidency descended to insults, abuses and innuendos, a stance which not only bears out the case made by the PDP but also raises questions about the capacity of this administration to shoulder the enormous responsibility of governance. “While we expect the present administration to be serious about the fight against corruption, probe and prosecute each and everyone involved in such, irrespective of their party leaning, we restate that these must be done within the ambits of the law and must not be used as a witch-hunt ostensibly to discredit and undermine the opposition. We therefore caution against the current drama of politicizing the issue of corruption in the country. “Furthermore, the analogy of the Augean stable, is completely baffling to us at this level as it goes to a great length to question the capacity and the sincerity of those around the president. “In Greek mythology, Hercules in his ingenuity took the task and efficiently cleared the Augean’ stable in a day for which he demanded a reward of a tenth of fine cattle belonging to the king. “Nigerians would not want to believe that in the so-called clearing of the Augean stable, although not delivering in one day, President Buhari wants to play Hercules in his demand, this time, by wanting to run the government alone without the statutory components of the executive as enshrined in the constitution. “We ask, is the so-called clearing of mess responsible for his inability after 90 days of winning an election to make up his mind on rudimentary appointments such as Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief of Staff and his demand for 15 Special Advisers as approved by the PDP controlled Seventh Assembly since June 5, 2015? “Perhaps we need to draw President Buhari’s attention to the fact that while he is busy clearing his imaginary mess on the pages of newspapers, some persons claiming closeness to him have in the last 30 days been piling up sleazes that also need his attention in key agencies of government. “Despite the absence of approving and supervising officials, key income generating institutions like NNPC, NIMASA, NPA, FIRS and other strategic agencies have been invaded by persons claiming to be friends and associates of the President and this puts to question the sincerity and seriousness of the administration to affect the so-called change upon which they rode to power. “Auxiliary to this is the issue of the construction of a helipad, amongst various expenses and other major government expenditure going on across board in the last one month and without due supervision as the eyes of the President cannot be everywhere. “We declare unequivocally that we do have respect for the person and office of the President especially considering his age and status as an elder statesman. However, we will like to make it very clear that the President of the Federal Republic Nigeria is neither a Sherriff in the Old Wild West nor a military dictator in some Banana Republic. He is an elected president under a democratic setting.” Source: www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/185825-you-cant-blackmail-us-pdp-tells-buhari.html 54 Likes 1 Share

Dear PDP, Mr President is taking time to clear the rot you people enshrined into the system; where recruitments were so fraudulent that the less competent graduates occupy our government establishments rather than the best, where ministries and parastatals were fraudulent empires rather than government institutions for development, where ministers and government staff were treasury usurpers rather than agents of development, where government officers now require more than their jumbo pay salaries to perform even below basic expectation, where government officials now leave their jobs to chase after contracts, jumbo pay approvals and allocations from the presidency, most of which are dedicated to internal consumption rather than project development etc etc etc.. It will take a little longer Mr PDP, I know that all you want now is to know who the ministers are so that you will "nicodemously" go and hustle for contracts; I know that your permanent suites at Sheraton paid with Nigeria's money are expiring soon and the plush life is being threatened. Do you know that PDP in Nigeria is now synonymous with "poison" which should never be consumed but used to fight enemies? Do you know that If not for the want of opposition to remain, you would've been thrown into thrash, locked up and the keys thrown away forever? For 16 years Nigerians kept begging for everything they deserved while you kept looting and merrying over things you didn't deserve, time to watch you struggle for power endlessly till smaller political parties become strong enough to send you into oblivion.

Buhari, We already know all you want to tell us about PDP. Even if you say they left the treasury empty for you, we will agree but that is not why we voted you; we voted you to take actions so you can repair what PDP spoilt during their tenure. Stop all of these stories and start work. 30 Likes 4 Shares |
