The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) this evening accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of churning out “rambling statement on the nation’s economy as part of the opposition’s ploy to distract the Buhari Administration from its onerous task of putting the nation on a sound footing.”

The party in a statement issued in Lagos by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, described PDP’s statement as a litany of delusional self praise, rather than a genuine concern about the nation’s well being.

According to APC, “The question the PDP should ask itself is that if it had laid a solid foundation for the economy in its 16 years in charge, could such a foundation have given way in just three months of a new Administration?

“If the PDP had been as fantastic as its statement had portrayed, it would still be the ruling, rather than the opposition party that it is now.

“It is therefore important for the PDP to concentrate its attention on remaking its tattered image rather than continuing to act as a desperate attention-seeking opposition.”
