Stop Appropriating Our Achievements – PDP Tells APC by alawi5k: 7:45pm On Aug 10, 2015

The peoples Democratic Party has asked the
governing All Progressives Congress to stop
appropriating the achievements of the past
administrations as its.
The party said, instead, the APC and
President Muhammadu Buhari should make
haste and activate the various economic
outlets which have been stagnated as a result
of their obvious inability to articulate a clear-
cut economic policy for the nation.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa
Metuh, in a statement on Monday, said it is
disappointing that a government, which came
to power on claims of high moral ground,
rather than focusing on delivering its
promises, is dancing around the achievements
of the previous government in an attempt to
make the public believe that recorded
successes in critical sectors are theirs.
“For instance, how do we explain APC’s
spirited effort to make the public believe that
the equipping of the country’s military for the
fights against insurgency; the turn around of
the nation’s oil refineries; and the polio-free
certification of Nigeria were products of their
government even when it is common
knowledge that they have not been able to
find their bearing for governance since their
election into office.
“If the former National Security Adviser
(NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki had not been
courageous enough to release those
incontrovertible facts that the Goodluck
Jonathan-led PDP administration actually
fortified the country’s military before leaving
office in May, the APC would have
succeeded in its propaganda against that
administration and led Nigerians to believe
that the equipping was a product of President
Buhari’s recent diplomatic shuttles.
“It is an obvious fact that before the May 29
handover to the APC, the Nigerian armed
forces, using these equipment sourced under
the watch of the PDP government, had
already pushed the insurgents to the verge of
surrender in the Sambisa forest, only for them
to now resurge under the APC-led
government due to apparent lack of direction
and confusion that have characterized this administration.
“In the same way, this government has positioned itself to
claim credit for the turn around and resuscitation of some of
the nation’s oil refineries without reference to the past
administration that initiated and executed the Turn Around
Maintenance (TAM) of the facilities years back, which
dividends the nation now enjoys and which we expect will
result in steady supply of petroleum products in our nation.
“Similarly, informed Nigerians note with dismay how the
APC administration has been celebrating the certification of
Nigeria as polio-free in the last one year by the World
Health Organization (WHO) without giving credit to the
PDP-led government under whose watch the feat was
achieved.
“While the PDP well understands the nervousness of the
APC and its government in the challenge of fulfilling their
bogus promises upon which they rode to power, such does
not in any way rationalise the resort to deceit and flagrant
appropriation of another’s achievements, a thing no serious,
credible and honest government will do”.
The PDP said instead of trying to stealing achievements to
earn undeserved praise, the APC and its government should
brace up, articulate a precise economic policy, assemble an
economic team and urgently commence the delivery of the
promises for which they were voted.
The party said it finds it unacceptable, not withstanding the
reasons being adduced, for a government in a democratic
setting to run for almost three months without a cabinet and
any policy direction whatsoever.
“This is the first time since independence that our nation has
stayed without a complete composition of government for
three months,” Mr. Metuh said. “Unfortunately, the negative
effect of this anomaly, which has taken a huge toll on the
country’s economy and the welfare of Nigerians, will be
with us in the coming years.
“We express this concern against the backdrop of
information that unpatriotic persons close to government are
already hounding civil servants for inflated concessions,
allocations, jobs and other favours being unduly granted,
making the system fertile for heavy financial sleazes in the
absence of appropriate statutory supervising officers.
“This is in addition to the avoidable economic downturn
now manifesting in the abandonment of ongoing
infrastructural projects, crippling of foreign and domestic
investments and continued slide in the money and capital
markets.
“Finally, we want to reiterate our earlier call on Nigerians to
continue to pray for President Muhammadu Buhari, who for
obvious reasons is surrounded by people whose divergent
personal interests have become a huge burden on our dear
nation, the integrity of this government, the health of our
economy and sustenance of our democracy.”
