The Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP, has no moral authority to counsel President Bola Tinubu on matters of administration or to claim the magic wand that would restore the country’s economy after plunging it into disaster for sixteen years, according to a group called The Democratic Front, or TDF.
In a joint statement from Secretary Wale Adedayo and Chairman Danjuma Mohammed, the group responded to the PDP press release following the conclusion of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
It made the case that the nation is still not fully recovered from the PDP years’ careless economic looting.
“Imagine a political party that failed woefully and landed the country in its present parlous economic state now pontificating on efforts to revitalize the national economy as if they ever had any clue.
“Rather than bury their heads in shame because of the roles the former ruling party played in bringing the country to its knees, they are busy pontificating on the bold initiatives and reforms being initiated by President Bola Tinubu,” the group said.
The group pointed out that the communiqué would have garnered more attention if the party’s NEC had stuck to its pathetic and unachievable attempt to bring the dilapidated structures of the PDP together—a highly split political party.
It made clear how ridiculous it was and how the NEC members’ arrogant insensitivity to the terrible results of their party’s 16 years of misrule chimed with the part PDP played unresolved impeding the expansion and advancement of the Nigerian state.
The group believed that a political party that had ruthlessly destroyed Nigeria’s national legacy and embezzled its hard-earned riches for so many years ought to show regret and accountability when it came to issues of statecraft and economic revival.
They added: “This litany of PDP’s failures and unprecedented maladministration will remain evergreen in our collective memory as a people.
“So it is egregiously ridiculous that PDP NEC members will cast aspersions on President Bola Tinubu’s highly performing economic team and ask him to reverse his impressively successful economic policies.”
