APC, PDP resume Twitter war

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party has
launched a fresh war against the All Progressive Congress-led government on Twitter, saying the only thing it has capacity for is distraction.

Tweeting on Sunday, the PDP lamented that the present administration was at a loss on how to fix the problems confronting Nigeria. It said the ruling party had resorted to distractions instead of proffering solutions to prevailing challenges in the polity.

In a series of tweets, it identified petroleum
product scarcity, falling naira and rising inflation as some of the key economic challenges Nigerians expected the government to tackle head-on.

“A dollar is N260, yet they (the APC) do not see any urgency in attending to the economy.

They are still crying about former President Goodluck Jonathan’s government. Get to work. Work!

“It has never been this bad before. They have no economic direction. They have no plans. They have no solutions but only distractions.

“The real issue is that $1 is now N260. Our
economy is in great danger. Food prices have
skyrocketed. There is fuel scarcity. Nothing seems to be working,” it tweeted.

Earlier, the party challenged the government to hand over for prosecution individuals indicted for stealing money meant for arms while it faced the economy. It noted that the economy was in dire need of attention.

It posted, “All their posts on the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, are diversionary and falsehood. If they have proofs, they should take Dasuki and others to court.

“But they should focus on the economy. Focus on the economy; fulfil campaign promises; start generating electricity and continue all our ongoing projects.”

While the government is going after those
accused of taking part in the arms deal, the APC is seeking an online support for President
Muhammadu Buhari’s resolve to end corruption.

Apart from its tweets, the party’s social media
team spent a good part of the weekend
aggregating tweets by Nigerians who are furious over the amount of money said to be involved in the allegations.

It retweeted, “With these dizzying figures shared by the PDP bosses, anyone defending them online without a house in Banana Island should slap him/herself.

“The PDP is shameless. The money its members shared is what is causing shortage of cash now; hence the Federal Government is finding it difficult to pay salaries.”

Individually, members of both parties have also been trading blame on social and traditional media over the scandal as well as other related issues.

Recently, the Governor of Edo State, Adams
Oshiomhole, went after the former Coordinating Minister of the Economy/Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, demanding an investigation
into her role, especially in the “questionable
disbursements” in the last dispensation.

The governor said, “You look at the total number of expenditure on subsidy, which the World Bank has just released. I am shocked. I have been talking about it. I just said to a couple of persons that the government has to go the whole hog because I know, as a governor, that no money
gets out of the treasury without the approval of the commissioner for finance. So, the probe should go into whether these funds are
appropriated.

“The Minister of Finance under the rules must
endorse before money gets out of the treasury, before the Central Bank of Nigeria approves.

So, for the ministers, including Okonjo-Iweala, I don’t care what people say because you cannot be coordinating a corruption-ridden economy and you pretend to be an angel. You cannot selectively deal with issues. You must deal with all involved in the conspiracy.

“In criminal law, when two to three people are involved in an act of criminality, all of them are charged with conspiracy.”

But Okonjo-Iweala said she followed due process in her official capacity. She has posted a letter she sent to the former president seeking an approval
to release the fund.
