Under APC Nigeria Economic Heading To Doldrums – PDP - Chieftain

The Abuja-national  leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has again taken a

swipe at the All Progressives Congress, APC and President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that the economy has remained on rapid fall since the last four months.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) reacting described the PDP’s rambling statement on the nation’s economy as part of the opposition’s ploy to distract the Buhari Administration from its onerous task of putting the nation on a sound footing. 

The PDP in a statement Monday by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh,  the nation’s economy has remained so because of what the PDP described as absence of clear-cut fiscal policy direction and an economic team to deal with the domestic and global challenges associated with a developing economy.

According to PDP,  the President Mohammadu Buhari-led APC administration should pay urgent attention to the management of the nation’s economy, adding that he should sustain existing economic projects.

Metuh noted that the party’s  worry stems from the fact that the economy has remained on rapid fall since the last four months apparently due to the absence of clear-cut fiscal policy direction and an economic team to deal with the domestic and global challenges associated with a developing economy.

Metuh said: “whereas the PDP is in full support of the President’s efforts in tackling corruption and insurgency, the party is however concerned about the grave economic situation we now face, as well as indices from global economic watchers, which this administration has failed to give deserving attention, despite its predictable negative impact.

“As a responsible party, it is duty-bound, beyond politics, to draw the President’s attention to the fact that under the prevailing circumstances, the nation is evidently heading to economic doldrums.

“Mr. President, this is no longer about politics and partisanship. It is about the economy of our dear nation and the wellbeing of the Nigerian citizens.
