Buhari, APC claiming our achievements after 3 years – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has berated President Muhammadu
Buhari and what it termed "dysfunctional All Progressives Congress,
APC," for attempting to claim credit for the Abuja Light Rail Project.

President Buhari, while commissioning the Abuja light rail project had
said it was a "dream-come-true".

Reacting to the commissioning of the project, the opposition party
said despite trying to claim its projects, "Nigerians are aware that
the project was conceptualized, initiated and policy-propelled" by it.

A statement by PDP's spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan insisted that
Buhari's government in the past three years has not initiated and
completed any project.

The statement reads, "President Buhari's showboating and rush to
commission the rail project, without giving credit to the PDP, even
when his administration contributed nothing to the project,
underscores his desperation to claim achievements made by others in a
frantic bid to cover incompetence and failure of his administration.

"It is crystal clear that President Buhari cannot comprehend the
design, scope and utility projection of the rail project resulting in
his hollow speech at the photo-op commissioning ceremony.

"Is it not unfortunate that, after three years in office, President
Buhari cannot boast of any development project conceptualized and
executed by his administration in any part of the country, resulting
in his numerous face-saving stunts, including commissioning projects
executed by others, amongst them, a bus stop in Lagos and a borehole
in Jigawa states."

PDP noted that "we usually watch with amusement whenever President
Buhari and the APC seek to claim credit for our achievements in
various sectors. However, while we understand their predicament of
having nothing in their scorecard ahead of the 2019 general elections,
we state that poaching the achievements of others cannot help them in
any way."

"It is even more pathetic that not only that the Buhari administration
lacks the capacity to articulate and run any precise economic policy
or project, it is also so inept that it cannot leverage on those
handed over to it by the PDP, resulting in the helpless situation we
have found ourselves as a people.

"We, however, urge Nigerians not to despair especially as the 2019
general elections offer them the firm opportunity to vote out this
inept administration and return a development-oriented and competent
government on the platform of the repositioned and rebranded PDP," the
statement added.
