Buhari going after opponents while Nigerian economy fails – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party has urged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration to pay urgent attention to the management of the nation’s economy.

The party said its 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.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Monday 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”.

The PDP said it is duty-bound, beyond politics, to call 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, Metuh stated.
