Nigeria @ 56: PDP Slaps APC, Says Party Responsible For The Ordeal Of Nigerians


Nigeria's foremost opposition party The People’s Democratic Party on Friday flawed the governing All Progressives Congress, alleging the party is responsible for the woes of the common man in Nigeria.


The PDP argued that since the inception of the incumbent APC leadership almost two years ago Nigerians have been facing numerous problems as a result of poor leadership and implementation of policies that are not people friendly as it were.

The party chairman in Niger State, Mr. Tanko Beji, who made the observations in a statement released to journalists to mark Nigeria’s 56th independence anniversary regretted that Niger state had not fared better under the rulership of the APC government of Abubakar Sani Bello.

 In his words: “Niger State has not fared better under the leadership of “the clueless, visionless and rudderless APC government,”
“It is sad that virtually all the social infrastructures like water, roads, health facilities etc inherited from the Peoples Democratic Party government by the APC has been allowed to rot away thereby making the sufferings of the people become more unbearable.”

Beji also  pointed out that the APC government declared state of emergencies on water, education and the health sectors but argued that “nothing tangible has been done to redress the deplorable conditions”.

In her words: ''I am proud to have represented my country Nigeria and also proud to have represented my family.'' ''Even though I may not have really done what I planned to do.

I really don’t talk about it because it makes me so emotional''.'' Reacting to claims that Nigerian athletes do well when they prepare well, Usman said ''I disagree with that. This is an event people have been preparing for, for four years. You just can’t jump in within a month and half to the Games thinking you can beat those who have been training for more than four years. It’s just not possible; let’s not even think about it.'' The athlete also disclosed "After my event I w...

The suspect, who was one of those paraded at the State Police Command in Port Harcourt, was expecting one of his relatives to pay ransom for the release of her elder sister.
