The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has called on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) administration to focus on its core mandate and desist from propaganda.

In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, the presidential hopeful said most of the developmental projects so far inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari were started and mostly fully paid for by the past PDP administrations of Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’Adua and Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, stressing that the ruling APC can’t take the credit for them.

Atiku who was reacting to the inauguration of the new terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja said the new terminal, like many others were conceived, signed, awarded and paid for by the Jonathan’s administration, hence the APC government should give credit to the previous administration when it is necessary.



“It needs to be emphasised that new terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport is among the many projects conceived and started by the immediate past PDP administration of Jonathan. The last administration had obtained a $500 million facility from the Chinese Exim Bank, with additional funding of $100 million from Nigeria to build four international terminals in Port Harcourt, Lagos, Abuja and Kano. We understand that governance is a continuum and that’s why there should not be unnecessary orgasms by sympathisers of the Buhari’s administration in trying to change the narrative that the new terminal and the one earlier commissioned in Port Harcourt were achievements of the Buhari administration,” Atiku said.

He mentioned projects like the completion of Kaduna-Abuja railway line, and the Abuja metro line as among other projects that were at advanced stages before the expiration of Jonathan’s tenure in office.

Atiku challenged President Buhari and the APC to list the projects conceived, started and inaugurated by the current administration in the last three and a half years of its being in office.

“Isn’t it strange that the APC is now resorting to projects conceived and executed by PDP as its achievements in office after spending almost four years in office with nothing to show for it?,” Atiku asked.

The former vice president said anytime a government resorts to blaming the opposition for its failure to deliver on its mandate and responsibilities to the people, it is a clear sign that those running that government have accepted that they have outlived their usefulness.

He said the PDP will continue to expose the lies of the propaganda-propelled APC administration being led by President Buhari.

Go and sit down and enjoy ur loot joor..

It is a disgrace for a party to rule for complete 16 years and cannot point to one project completed. A govt came and within three years completed the looted and abandoned projects of PDP....the same set of rogues want to come back and loot again...God forbids

It is unfortunate that PDP could not take credit for their projects during their administration.

That shows that the were incompetent in everything. May God never allow confusion locate me like PDP

But he should take credit for Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, unemployment, recession, Ipob etc, abi? Ori man yi ti daru

If new government doesn't complete previous government projects how can we move forward? ATIKU you are just desperate and it's clear you are not ready for good governance.

SLOWLY WE ARE NOW SEEING THAT ATIKU THINKS LIKE AN IPOB JEW

In 16 years, PDP initiated and awarded contracts as well as paid the contractors full for many projects year after year. The keyword is paid the contractors. Yet, the job was not done and our money gone.
Now a mature president is painstakingly completing those projects and Atiku is talking.

Wait Atiku, let me tell you, both the abandoned projects and the money you people wasted belong to Nigerians. They belong to neither Jonathan nor PDP. So don't interfere if someone is correcting your errors. It doesn't matter who did what, we just want progress so that we can be like Dubai where you did your "notice me" strategic sessions.

2019 Presidential Election

Polling results in Aba Market Ward,

APC - 7546
APGA - 140
PDP - 23
SDP - 5



Hehehhehehehe let’s watch and see

Credit or no credit
Government is a continuum
You start a project, another finishes
Because it is no one's father's business, no body should be looking for credit.

Would the PDP or Atiku had preferred that unfinished projects be abandoned?

If you are looking for credit, send me your phone number and I will send you credit

Buhari has no legacy to his credit. Either infrastructure or institutional reform

If a government complete the project of previous government let them initiate a new one and push it to advanced stage for new government to complete. If we complete all projects and fold our hand is that progress?

How many of them has Buhari successfully prosecuted or jailed or is he waiting like Ganduje ? APC will need more than lies and propaganda this time around to vote for Buhari , the most incompetent President in Nigeria's history. Benue people's blood calls, even AI.

You have just rubbished the past governments. It means their projects should be abadoned as white elephant projects.

Atiku! The joke is on you and PDP. It even begs the question: why did you and your party litter the country with unfinished projects?

"He mentioned projects like the completion of Kaduna-Abuja railway line, and the Abuja metro line as among other projects that were at advanced stages before the expiration of Jonathan’s tenure in office."

I'm glad these projects are being completed rather than being abandoned

Give kudos for the government that complete it. At least the present government didn't abandoned it or siphon the money

The government that initiated it also completed the ones they inherited from previous government

Let him initiate new ones and take them to advanced stage for new government to complete.

One thing Buhari did well was building international airport for SE and SS in Port Harcourt

Lame. Buhari government is too dull to conceive and initiate project to their name. Apart from physical projects, which institutional reforms has Buhari embarked upon? He won't even sign anended electoral bill. OBJ created EFCC to fight corruption but GEJ exteded it to BVN and TSA. which one had Buhari created

This statement is unfortunate. If PMB Blame PDP for the misfortune of this government they will send their erats out shouting government is continuum and when he takes the glory from any project they start they don’t remember the continuum phrase. I wonder who is more confused between the opposition and the ruling party!!

Asshurbanipal:

If you have a lot of work to do with (probably) lean resources, would you finish the ones you have at hand before starting new ones?

The writer of that article said some of these projects were started in Obj's govt and couldn't be finished in 16years yet you want me to kill a man who has barely worked for 4years?
