PDP govt failed to save for a rainy day —Buhari
•APC opposed efforts to save money —PDP



PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has said for a greater part of the last 16 years, the government in power failed to prepare for a rainy day, a reason the country is currently in crisis.
Receiving the president of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), Dr Bernard O. Aliyu, at the State House, Abuja, on Monday, Buhari said “in the First Republic, more enduring infrastructure was built with meagre resources. But in the past 16 years, we made a lot of money without planning for the rainy day. 
“We showed a lot of indiscipline in managing our economy and that is why we are where we are today. But this time round, we’ll do our best.”
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was at the helm of affair of the country throughout the period being referred to by President Buhari.
Speaking further, he said “Nigeria needs to work on its potentials, so that we don’t remain permanently at the level of potentials. 
“If Ethiopia is sustained largely by its airline industry, we have greater potentials here. We must move out, engage with the rest of the world, as we need to re-establish the integrity of this country. We need to rebuild this country again.”
Buhari recounted that for the greater part of the last 16 years, oil sold above $100 per barrel, but expressed regret that the nation did not have much to show for it.
Reacting, PDP rejected Buhari’s assertion that the party failed to save for a raining day, saying that it was the All Progressives Congress (APC) elements that frustrated effort of the past government to save. 
According to the national publicity secretary of PDP, Olisa Metuh, APC governors led opposition to the National Economic Council (NEC) to save money during the last dispensation. 
Noting the role played by APC governors in opposing the National Sovereign Wealth Fund, Metuh said the PDP was proud of its achievement in government. 
“We tried as much as possible to save money within the context of the law, because PDP was not the only party involved,” he said, adding that the attempt was challenged by APC elements in the NEC. 
He pointed out that the former ruling party cleared billions of dollars of international debts owed by the country, adding that unlike the present administration, there was no consensus by political parties to give the PDP government the opportunity to carry out its mandate. 
Speaking during the meeting with President Buhari, Dr Aliyu, the Nigerian-born ICAO president, commended President Buhari for his strides on anti-corruption and urged Nigeria to pay more attention to development of civil aviation.
“Civil aviation is a catalyst for economic development. The level of aviation development in any country mirrors the economic development of that country,” Dr Aliyu said.
The ICAO president pledged to support the development of the aviation industry in Nigeria, urging the country to improve on training and capacity development, aviation security, aerodromes and air navigation, runways, control towers, terminal buildings, among others

and the blame game shifts to opposition party, kontiniu

Zombies what you have to say?

Share d money campaign by judas ameachi n his fellow thieves in ngf during GEJ era is still fresh in our minds.

So apc governors were your economic advisers
pdp always saying foolish things with enthusiasm
these are the same idiot that had ample time to turn the fortune of the nation around,is crude oil the only way to have a better economy
the cow was even given advice he didnt give to his party

Why dont these people tell lies that make sense. Even when you count the governors that defected, the PDP still dominated the governors forum, why didnt they vote against it?
Secondly, the states only got their share, why didnt fg save theirs?

Both the PDP and APC are same. Both contributed to the mess we are in today.

they were not in charge but the money in the federation account cannot be saved without the express permission of the 36 state govs and 774 lga's cos the federal govt has no constitutional right to withhold state and LGA funds without their consent.

its obvious a dead clock is wiser than APC followers cos it still manages to be correct twice a day, but once APC supporters go dumb theyre dumb forever

All of them are terrible humans save a certain independent minded obiageli.

una remember when judas ameachi n his fellow theives took GEJ to court ova eca n sof

A nation of heartless men and women. We claim to be religious yet, we're so far from godliness. Ameachi, Oshiomole, Fashola and many APC stalwarts were the ones that vehemently opposed the creation of Sovereign Wealth Fund but they all kept mute today having realised their folly. This also clearly shows that Buhari is a chameleon by feigning ignorance of his party's opposition to Okonjo Iwealla's save-for-rainy-day economic policy? May God save the nation from this unconscientious ruler.
