Eid-el-Fitr: PDP charges Buhari, APC on accountability

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari to be accountable to Nigerians following the myriad of problems in the country.

The party, while congratulating Nigerians, especially Muslims, on Eidel-Fitr celebration which marked the completion of the Ramadan fast, expressed worry that many could not travel for fear of Kidnap.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in a statement yesterday urged Nigerians to use the occasion to “strengthen the bond of unity and rekindle the virtues of love, faith in God, forgiveness, patience, tolerance, humility, compassion, care for one another as well as our commitment to the survival and development of our dear nation.”

“Our party deeply saddened that millions of Nigerian families are observing the Eid-el-Fitr in despondency, anguish, sorrow and misery due to poverty and economic

is hardship foisted on them by the misrule of the overtly inhumane and corrupt All Progressives Congress (APC).

“It is also distressing that most Nigerians could not travel as they did in the past to celebrate with their loved ones due to insecurity as the APC government continues to keep mute, turn blind eyes and refuse to confront terrorists who are daily ravaging our compatriots in communities, highways, railways and even worship places.

“The PDP in very strong terms tasks President Muhammadu Buhari on the divisiveness, corruption, arrogance in failure, recklessness, impunity, lack of transparency, violation of rules and lethargic approach of his administration which are responsible for the social, economic and security quandary in our nation under the APC administration.

“Our party however urges Nigerians not to resign to despondency but to be calm, on the alert and continue to love and care for one another in renewed hope of a better Nigeria under a new Order, come 2023.”
