Ogun Pdp Democracy Day Press Statement by patiot: 3:31pm On May 29, 2016
OGUN PDP DEMOCRACY DAY PRESS STATEMENT

NIGERIANS SHOULD ENDURE THE REGIME OF LOCUST; GOOD DAYS SHALL RETURN AGAIN

The Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun state is using this medium to empathise with the good people of Ogun state and indeed, all Nigerians on the occasion of this year's democracy day. A day like this in some other clime, serve as a  reminder of not only the freedom and liberty that citizens enjoy under their government, but also the many dividends that come with it; which in the end enhances their quality of life.

Unfortunately and sadly so, the situation of the Nigerian state at the moment does not call for any celebration because of the dire condition of our economy and the attendant social dislocation which has put the masses in varying degree of sufferings. The persistent energy and power crisis are clear signposts of the failure of the Muhammadu Buhari administration in the last 365 days.

Its monetary and fiscal policy continues to defy prescription as the exchange rate now sits at over N320 to $1 from under N200 a year ago and access to forex for critical sectors has become a nightmare. More repugnant is the crass failure of the APC regime to fulfill its many outlandish electoral promises and not one of such promises have been fulfilled today.

Nigeria has been on a steady decline and government, rather than sit on the job to creatively move us forward, continues to blame the PDP for its own incompetence and visionlessness. Security is worsening with Boko Haram still virulent in its attack and the new scourge of Fulani herdsmen now festering.  Our corporate image as a nation is in a decline as Buhari continues to demarket Nigeria with his corruption singsong everywhere he goes.

For us in Ogun state, the situation is even more pathetic as the last one year has been motion without movement. As an opposition party, we find it hard to criticise the Amosun adminstration because nothing serious has been done in the last one year to warrant a critique. Governance has been on a recess and Mr. Governor has mostly busied himself junketing with Mr. President.

Most if the road projects started out in the first term remain largely abandoned, the state's economy continues to stagnate and the people are mourning in silence. Ogun PDP is desirous that the country moves forward and it is expedient that the APC moves out of the pre-election mode and get into governance mode. The APC at all levels, must also know that it cannot continue to befuddle Nigerians with its operation 'blame PDP'. It is a worn out strategy and the people are now clamouring for responsible and responsive leadership; which is clearly lacking at the moment.

We urge the people of Ogun state and Nigerians in general not to be further deceived by the shenanigans and elaborate propaganda of the APC and its agent on the social media. They must endure, as this negative phase shall surely pass and the locust years shall be restored when a more liberal and sensitive party returns to power.

Signed:
Adeniji Bolaji
State Publicity Secretary, Ogun PDP
