Read PDP press statement below...
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says
Wednesday's rejection by APC senators of
the N5,000 monthly stipend, which they
promised Nigerians during the
electioneering, underscores the
monumental hypocrisy of their party in
getting to power by means of deceit and
false promises to Nigerians.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa
Metuh in a statement on Thursday said that the
development is a clear confirmation of the fact
that the APC is a party of hypocrites, who never
had the intentions of honouring any of their
campaign promises.
"The PDP declares that it is absolutely obvious
to all that the APC came to power riding on
monumental lies and deceit in making promises
they had no intentions to keep. All they wanted
was to get into power and they achieved this
with their lying tongues.
"Indeed, the unanimity displayed by the APC
senators in rejecting the promised N5, 000
monthly welfare package, especially coming after
their party and the Presidency had made futile
efforts to distance themselves from it, further
stresses the duplicitous spirit of the APC and its
reprehensible insensitivity to the feelings and
aspirations of Nigerians, especially the
unsuspecting youths, women and the indigent,
who they shamelessly swindled with false
promises.
"From the foregoing therefore, Nigerians should
not expect any sincere action from the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government on the
other promises including monthly allowance to
discharged but unemployed NYSC members, free
meals and scholarship to school children, free
houses, bringing the naira to the same value with
the dollar.
"Our position remains that the APC has
sufficiently confirmed to the world that they have
a lot to learn on the leadership values of
honesty, integrity, credibility and forthrightness.
"Finally, we invite Nigerians to note the powers
amply vested on them by the constitution under
a democracy as we urge them to stand on such
powers and hold the APC and its government
accountable for all their campaign promises.
Signed:
Chief Olisa Metuh
National Publicity Secretary
