APC fires back at PDP's statement. Read below...

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the PDP as a party cannot provide any worthwhile opposition to the APC-led Federal Government if its spokesman continues to issue convoluted and fustian statements just so that he can be in the news.

Today’s statement is the most tortuous yet by the PDP and, honestly, sounds more like a compendium of beer parlour gossips and side talks than a serious criticism of a sitting government,” the APC said in a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

”To be in opposition does not mean you have to constitute yourself to a nuisance by rushing to the press with all sorts of hot air statements. It is the quality, rather than the frequency, of your interventions that makes you relevant as an opposition in a democracy,” the party said

It said that in the light of the above, the APC will not dignify the latest in a series of confused statements by the PDP with any response. ”We can only say that we have been justified, and indeed prescient, in our earlier offer to organize a crash course for Olisa Metuh so that he can more effectively perform his role as the spokesman of the main opposition party.

Those who thought we were joking with that offer can now see that indeed, Mr. Metuh is seriously in need of some form of coaching on his new role,” APC said. The party said for the record, no government in Nigeria’s recent history has been as focused and systematic as the one headed by President Muhammadu Buhari in restoring good governance, especially coming after the worst stretch of governance, lasting all of 16 years, by the immoral and reckless PDP.

It is worth noting that even the leader of the world’s foremost democracy, President Barack Obama, said that much during the recent visit to the US of President Buhari, when he described him (President Buhari) as a man of integrity with a clear agenda. ”President Buhari is working hard every day in the priority areas of tackling security and corruption, rebooting the economy to provide jobs for our teeming youths and generally to restore good governance.

We are sorry for those who are too blind with hatred to see this. ”We know that the PDP is terrified by the expose of how the Federal Government it led has looted the treasury and created an environment for impunity to thrive, as well as the fate that will befall those who were part of the show of shame and disgust.

But we assure Nigerians that this government will not interfere with the work of the security and anti-corruption agencies, and also that under the Buhari Administration, only the guilty needs to be afraid. ”In the meantime, no amount of mumbo jumbo from the PDP will stop the Buhari Administration from its tough but inevitable task of restoring Nigeria’s lost glory,” APC said.

Very empty response to Metuh's well articulated questions.

Rose2014:
Bros I can help you on this one:


Buhari took a $2.1b world bank loan to repair NE but in the same trip, he promised to marginalize those that didn't vote for him( don't ask me where the money to repay the interest bearing loan will be coming from)

Buhari's appointments so far are 90% northerners(He was smart enough to figure that only northerners are technocrats)

Buhari secretly declared his asset after promising to declare it publicly

Buhari slept in Blair house.

Buhari created a new political party. All Nigerian People's congress.

Buhari shook hands with Obama

Buhari unlocked the secret of feeding 5,000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes.

Buhari looking to pacify BH (who he called brothers) after promising to crush them during campaign. Main reason he was voted in.
Don't ask me where he'll get the amnesty money.

Buhari promised to probe past leaders but later changed it no one but now he has changed it again that probing the rest are a waste of time except Jonathan
If that's not change, then tell me what it is


There are lots of achievements from him, feel free to add yours

great sarcasm but only for d intelligent minds

sdindan:
some are saying it is too early to criticise the buhari administration and i say - it is too early to start badly - it is too early for naira to drop against the dollar - it is too early for fuel queues to resurface - it is too early to be fighting in nass over positions and not service - it is too early for all this in party feud that is causing distractions from real governance-it is too early for all this contradictory press releases-it is too early for all this excuses like age will limit my ability- it is too early to have appointed 14 northerners out of 15 appointments-it is too early to be a sole administrator-i t is too early to remove military checkpoints-it is too early to have released over 180 bokoharam members-it is too early to be talking about negotiating with bokoharam- it is too early for almost a daily bombing of innocent nigerians - it is too early for about 600 people to have died of bomb blast within a month - it is too early to lie about an empty treasury - it is too early to give billions to those who used state funds to sponsor your campaign -it is too early to have spent over a trillion from an empty treasury without appropriation- it is too early for the price of food stuff that were ever stable even during festive season under the past administratn to just escalate in price - Some people say Rome was not built in a day.but building rome started in a day.or can rome be built if building rome was never started.

gud one bro

sameer1212:
Can some tell this METUA guy to keep his mouth shut Is it not their(past administration) mess that is still affecting this country? Hope u will still have mouth to talk when PMB is ready for u people (wailing wailers).

It is gradually becoming d norm here on NL rather than d exemption dat anyone who objectively criticises this APC govt is labelled a wailing wailer.Am not sure we all want a democracy that cannot be accessed, analysed nor criticized then it becomes dictatorship. I even feel this Metuh of a guy is far more better in credible opposition than Lai Mohammed bk in d days. His points are factual n verifiable. Apc n Pmb can do better by posting a rejoinder where answers to his questions are made available to Nigerians. As per d young minds here that never know much about Robert Nesta Marley, Livingstone and Peter Tosh of 1964/65 wailing wailers album; let them know dat Femi Adesina is not placing dia blessed memory in good perspective. The world heared PMB say he will rule along voting pattern of 97% vs 5%. If u think this wasnt embarrassing, what of not knowing what ' inclusive devp or govt' is?. Somebody was asked about Niger Delta challenges vis-a-vis amnesty, bunkering n inclusive devpt n he ended up answering off point and we shd not wail. Time shall tell.

Everything said here by OOK (nee FFK) is d truth.

f

make I ask my oga at d top

great

arewafederation:
What nonsense is this ?

ask Introvert. In other news its called space booking

sparkleboy:
Y Stale news

tnks for re-affirming my coment

NL rule 14 search before posting a thread, this story no more breaking

D person above me doesnt even know this was pre-May 2015 elections

understanding why PMB gave no answer to d Niger Delta question in US as regards amnesty, bunkering n inclusive devpt

dammytosh:
Children of hate are now grown up with a Nairaland Account.

For how long will you people continue to be petty and brainless.

Lets forget the past and move forward.

Not when d past still persists even in present. What led to Biafra of old is still being promoted by d Nigerian State

na waoh

God is great

Waoh. Amazing

Truly with d succesful registration of BVN, any govt sincere about fighting corruption has this task made easy. Just click d BVN attached to dat particular name and all d accounts he has in all d banks will be on display .

again

Princecalm:
something this man speak so much sense

something or sometimes

tayebest:
This part makes me think hard,

But later makes me laff hard!

same here

If African leaders will be holding their own like this man, rid ourselves of corruption then d whiteman will definitely begin to respect us more. He also had this to say " I v just concluded – since President Obama endorses
the same-sex marriage, advocates homosexual people
and enjoys an attractive countenance – thus if it
becomes necessary, I shall travel to Washington, DC,
get down on my knee and ask his hand. "

manosteel:
Like him or hate him, He is one African Leader that has stood up to the west. Here is collection of some of his quotes.

1. Our votes must go together with our guns. After all, any vote we shall have, shall have been the product of the gun. The gun which produces the vote should remain its security officer.

2. The only white man you can trust is a dead white man

3. Countries such as U.S and Britain have taken it upon themselves to decide for us in the developing world, even to interfere in our domestic affairs and to bring about what they call regime change

4. The white man is not indigenous to Africa. Africa is for Africans, Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans

5. So, Blair keep your England, and let me keep my Zimbabwe

6. I have died many times. I have actually beaten Jesus Christ because he died only once

7. We don’t mind having sanctions banning us from Europe. We are not Europeans.

8. The commonwealth is just a mere club, but it has become like an ‘animal farm’ where some members are more equal than others. How can Tony Blair claim to regulate and direct events and still say all of us are equal?...Independent on Sunday, 7 December 2003

9. We did not send away whites. We only took away Land-Pretoria, south Africa 8 April 2015

10. You take Gold and leave holes in my country, No! –Pretoria, 8 April 2015

11. Mandela has gone a bit too far in doing good to non black communities-Harare, Zimbabwe, 2 May 2013

12. It’s your support which enables me with my small frame to instill fear in the likes of Obama.

13. Britain is a very cold uninhabited country with small houses…Independent

14. Referring to John Howard, the Australian Prime minister, He said “They tell me he is one of those genetically modified being because of the criminal ancestry he derives from, R.Mugabe, November 2003

15. Referring to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, he said “He is an angry, evil and embittered little Bishop

16. It would have been great if Zimbabwe had Oil, Bush would have bombed the crap out oh him a long ago

17. Even the devil is not Gay, he chose to talk to a naked Eve instead of a naked Adam

18. The tell me it’s time to say goodbye to Zimbabwe, “Why? Where is Zimbabwe going?”

19. U.S has more blacks in prison than her Universities can accommodate

(Ref: Brainquote.com, wikiquote.com, beardedman., independent)

liking 17 & 18. very correct

This is a good developmnt. Hate him or like him, this is one issue we all must agree is a positive change when ministerial nominee hopefuls are withdrawing interest on dia own b/c of likely exposure of dia corruption dossier. Am sure pll like Amaechi, Sylva etc must have given up on this govt.

f

Obama looking more refined n d sis more ugly

MizMyColi:
Well spoken and articulated.

u just stole my exact words

This one una don dey open this kind thread, Fayose must be laughing

My prob was PMB never answered d question intelligently. No mention of his amnesty plans (whether to continue, remodel or disband it), no mention of how to tackle oil bunkering and no plans of how to run an all inclusive govt. He ended up speaking along voting patterns and making it clear those dat voted against him will only get ONLY what d constitution guarantees them like Ministers.

$182m Halliburton Scandal: Buhari orders preparation of case-file

As President Muhammadu Buhari travels to the United States (US) today to engage President Barack Obama in talks on economic, security, financial and anti-graft issues, it has emerged that he has ordered the preparation of the case-file that would lead to the prosecution of the indicted persons in the $182 million Halliburton bribery scandal.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that the President’s directive followed the requirement by the US government of evidence to show that Buhari was ready to prosecute the suspects in Nigeria for their roles in the bribery scandal before it could partner other European countries in releasing the $141million dollars allegedly looted from Nigeria and lodged in various overseas banks.

According to top security sources, Buhari, based on the outcome of investigations by the panel set up to look into the scandal, is scheduled to tell Americans officials during this week’s visit that all those indicted, including former Heads of State, a former Vice President, two former Group Managing Directors of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, will face prosecution to defend themselves.

To further convince the US officials that the kangaroo trial that took place during the Jonathan administration, which saw a former Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to the President being arraigned and then let off the hook following alleged connivance of certain government institutions, will not re-occur, the President will tell them that private legal practitioners, who cannot compromise because of past government patronage, will be commissioned to handle the case.

It will be recalled that the recent directive by Buhari to reopen the Halliburton bribery case led to the discovery that the $26.5 million plea bargain money released by the oil servicing firm as part of efforts to shield the company from prosecution was not in any government account.

in this period of contradiction, PMB said only GEJ ll be probed

PEJ statemnt dat Buhari is brainless might not be false afterall. I mean this Chibok girls story is d main point of APC manifesto and its surprising Buhari cud not know its from dia hostels. Ppl like him will copy other ppl name n reg number in exam hall. This is not about old age or poor sight but purely unintelligent nature of a man. Those dat mocked PEJ grammar collection in 6yrs will have a greater dossier for Baba 'slow and steady'.

D master stroke was when d Dogara camp conceded d Majority leader n Chief Whip to Gbaja camp
