Nigeria in intensive care unit after ruinous PDP years – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) says Nigeria is now “in an intensive care unit” after it was rescued from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The party said that the PDP lacks the moral basis and the credibility to comment on the country’s economy or condemn a government that was working hard to clear the mess the former ruling party left behind.

In a statement issued by his media office on Thursday, John Oyegun,  national chairman of the APC, said that “it is stomach-churning and downright immoral for the ruinous PDP, which has yet to show remorse or exhibit any form of penitence for presiding over the mindless looting of the nation’s treasury, to now put itself up as the saviour of Nigerians”.

Oyegun said “while indeed it was glaring that the PDP-led administration was profligate and rapacious, nothing prepared Nigerians for the mind-boggling discoveries that have emerged in the past one year, including the fact that just a handful of people could have plundered far more than half of what belonged to a country of over 170 million people.

“What is happening now is clear: Just because the farmer has not checkmated the thief, he (thief) has become so emboldened that he is now making a move to even cage the farmer from whom he has been stealing,” he said.
