The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said its government would not waste time in assenting to the Peace Corps of Nigeria establishment bill if voted into power in the 2019 presidential elections.

The party’s national publicity secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, made this known in a statement while reacting to President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to assent to the Peace Corps bill passed by the national assembly in 2017.

The PDP stated that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, lacked youth-driven ideologies and should be voted out in the forthcoming general elections for failing to create any job opportunities for the teeming jobless Nigerians as it promised during the 2015 pre-election campaigns

Ologbondiyan said, “The PDP noted with dismay how a party that promised massive job creation would decline assenting to such a bill meant to create millions of jobs for Nigerians”.

The party stressed that citing of financial difficulties as reasons for rejecting the bill as laughable, questioning what the APC administration was doing or has done with the so-called billions of naira it allegedly recovered in its witch-hunting fight against corruption.

The main opposition party maintained that voting the APC out of power was the only option left for Nigerians, declaring that the APC had nothing tangible to offer Nigerians rather than leading the country backward.

this would be a bad idea.


you are just creating photocopies of existing institutions.

there would definitely be interference from similar institutions, rivalries not to talk of the cost of maintenance.

modified :
imagine police will stop you, SARS will stop you, lastma will stop you, frsc will stop you, nscdc will stop you, now peace Corp will stop you. all for the same issue.

at the end of the day, it is Nigerians that will feel the brunt.

PDP, peace corps was here when you have the power.

Politicians and politics Vs gullibles and gullibility.

see this mumu.. who una won deceive. that shows how deceitful you guys are. nonsense.

Useless apc govt appropriating billions of Dollars in it's futile search for oil in the lake chad basin but cannot provide employment for jobless youths. Same apc that claims to have retrieved billions of naira from corrupt nigerians. Same apc approving billions of dollars to fight a directionless war against bokoharam and paying billions more in ransom to terrorists. Question now is, in what capacity did they plan to provide nigerian youths with employment when they fraudulently lied of creating millions of jobs in 2015?

Is Peace Corps bill a new bill? shiit has been here since time immemorial. PDP are confused SMH

APC had nothing tangible to offer Nigerians rather than leading the country backward.

Wonderful!

PDP, thanks for letting us know.

we don't want another paramilitary outfit, it's a duplication of duty and a waste of public fund


personally, come 2019, it's gonna be any other party apart form PDP and APC.

Hmmm

if....

Play them, opportunity dong show... Use them, like say una no been dey for power all those years una been for power.

If all nigerians are paramilitary na who go be civilian ? Na where dem go generate funds to pay them at months ending, if at this stage some states dey owe months salary, hw we go take do, when we get more mouths to feed then..

Lets not politicise this, must we continue to borrow money to create employment ? Our recurrent expenditure too much abeg.

Na Lie, Politians And Deception...

chai.... Naija Politician... I hail thee oo

Won't be surprised if APC and Buhari decides to reverse on the initial decision of not signing the Bill into law. Anything for votes

There are 1001 ways to win an election, unfortunately, this isn't one of them. Every educated Nigerian knows that the Peace Corps bill is a duplication of duties.

Tricky way to gain power bah, una dey craze...

Believe PDP at your own peril

Politics

Nscdc has become useless. Una wan add peace corp. 70% of our budget goes to recurrent exp. Smh

Peace Corp is a bad Idea and Buhari was correct this time just this time

Let’s think straight
What will hall to them now
These guys already have military Trainning’s
They are now tools in the hands of crime
Watch out security agencies

Lol!

Firefire:
APC had nothing tangible to offer Nigerians rather than leading the country backward.

Another reason not to ever vote PDP back to Ask rock.
