The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration as a government of liars, for the liars and by the liars.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed at a media briefing early on Thursday in Abuja, had said the administration of the APC had put in place structures that would not only check corrupt tendencies but make it unattractive and costly.
PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, vehemently disagreed with the Minister of Information’s claim, stating that the Buhari administration is sinking deeper into the abyss of failure
“This is in addition to the reported looting of N33 billion from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the reported stealing of over N18 billion from the rehabilitation of IDPs in the North East, the over N25 billion from the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) as well as the looting of N500 billion Social Investment Programme Fund as revealed by the First Lady, Aisha Buhari among others,” the statement stated
PDP berated the Minister of Information and Culture over his attempt to conceal the alleged complicity of the APC in the continuing insecurity in the country and claim that the APC government has uncovered 96 sponsors of terrorism and arrested 45 persons confirmed to be terrorists.
It queried that, if the ruling APC cannot purge itself of a self-confessed terrorism apologist, how can it claim to have effectively confronted terrorism in the country?
The opposition party also challenged the APC to publish the names and details of those it claimed to be sponsors of terrorism and those it claimed to have been arrested.
