The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has insisted
that contrary to claims by the Presidency, the $2.1
billion Liquefied Natural Gas, LNG, component of the
bailout for states, was actually saved by the
immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan-led
PDP administration.
The party said in actual fact the LNG dividend stood
at $5.6 billion even before the handover date of May
29thand would have been shared but for the
insistence of former President Goodluck Jonathan
that it be left for the incoming administration to
manage.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh,
in statement on Wednesday thanked President
Muhammadu Buhari for making it possible for
Nigerians to know that monies were left behind by
the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
The party said despite attempts by the APC-led
administration to hide the truth, the issuance of the
bailout with funds from the LNG proceeds and the
Excess Crude Account has exposed the fact that the
PDP administration actually left behind huge sums
of money, contrary to the impression earlier given
to Nigerians and the international community that
the new administration met a virtually empty
treasury.
“It is gratifying to note that gradually the evidence
of monies left behind by the PDP-led administration
is coming to public light despite effort by the new
government to hide the facts.
“The public had been made aware that $2 billion
was left in the ECA for which the Accountant–
General and the APC confirmed approvals for the
withdrawal of $1.7 billion.
“We know that surely, though slowly, a lot of other
monies saved by the PDP and which are now under
the control of the APC government will eventually be
unveiled by this administration themselves and
without any effort on our part whatsoever.
The PDP said it believes that President Buhari must
have realized that he was earlier misdirected on the
actual state of the nation’s finances and should as a
respected statesman apologize to his predecessor,
President Goodluck Jonathan, who also ensured
that he handed over to him a peaceful and stable
environment to operate.
The party said “President Buhari as a leader on
whose shoulders lies the mandate of the Nigerian
people and the burden of governance for the next
four years should strive to disentangle himself from
the intrigues, propaganda, blackmail and
machinations of some leaders in his party and
focus on delivering on his campaign promises for
which he was elected.”
The PDP also urged the APC as a party in power to
rise above board and endeavour to be honest in its
dealings, especially if it wants Nigerians to take it
seriously. It said a situation where a ruling party
will resort to a dishonourable act of altering a
statement where it earlier acknowledged the
approval for the withdrawal from the ECA, just to
hide the truth, leaves much to be desired.
Finally, we want the public to note that all our
statements and engagements have been based on
facts and issues. Consequently, we urge the
Presidency to focus on issues and stop trending on
personal insults, threats and abuses.

Comic relief

Will President Buhari pass such a statesman's test?
I say no.

He is too uneducated, uncivilised, cocky and too full-of-himself to toe that path.

He simply lacks the capacity.

As per? So?

Apologise ke, apologier Ni.

It said a situation where a ruling party will resort to a dishonourable act of altering a statement where it earlier acknowledged the approval for the withdrawal from the ECA, just to hide the truth, leaves much to be desired.

Buhari to apologise

Don't expect such from him cos vindictiveness flows in his blood.

No need for the apologies. And equally no need for the lies.
The task of governance is huge and cheap distractions should be avoided.
Buhari should get to work.
APC should stop the propaganda and the lies.
PDP should stop the pettiness.

Fools

The wailing wailers at it again.

Chief Metuh should quit this sort of distractive criticism, and focus on issues that borders on good governance ...
