PDP tells Oyegun to stop blame game

- By Saawua Terzungwe

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, to stop the blame game and address issues bothering Nigerians.

The PDP said Oyegun’s attempt to exonerate the APC of blames over the embarrassi­ng list of board members of federal parastatal­s which contained names of deceased persons showed that the Federal Government was completely disorganis­ed and illequippe­d to govern.

The PDP, in a statement yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiy­an, said Chief Oyegun’s case was that of a leader who had no answer for the “incompeten­ce and misrule” of his party.

The party said Oyegun’s reaction further exposed the confusion in the APC government and the reason why all sectors of the nation’s economy were in shambles.

“Chief Oyegun’s comments amount to a vote of no confidence on the presidency, but there is no way he can exonerate the APC which he leads from the failures of its own government.

“The APC chairman must, therefore, shed his penchant for excuses and address burning issues of misrule of the APC government. We challenge him to address the issue of collapsing economy with its attendant eight million job losses and countless business closures which has caused hardship on families across the country, all due to bad policies and incompeten­ce of the APC government,” it said.
