Nigeria's empty treasury: Buhari talks too much - PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) on Tuesday described as evasive, diversionary and preemptive the present government’s pile up of excuses for possible failure in delivering on its campaign promises to Nigerians.


The PDP said it was unfortunate that President Mohammadu Buhari and the All
Progressives Congress, who were privy to the nation’s dwindling economy occasioned by the global economic downturn and fall in international oil price, even before the start of the campaigns, chose to deceive Nigerians with bogus promises, only to now resort to excuses after using the promises to secure power at the centre.

The PDP in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, noted with dismay President Buhari’s declaration on Monday that Nigerians should not expect much from his first 100 days in office as he met “virtually an empty treasury and huge debts”.

The PDP said such statement from the President only underlines the fact that the present administration was really not equipped to face the challenges of governance.
