Nigerians Will Have The Worst Christmas Under Buhari – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Tuesday through its
National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh said that Nigerians will experience
the worst Christmas ever under this administration. The statement said, Muslims
had already had the worst Sallah celebration and Christians should be expecting
theirs. The statement also spoke about what it refers to has lack of experience
while referring to the leadership of this present administration. Metuh said
much more than that. Find it below.

“Rather than evolving economic initiatives to improve the
lot of the citizens, this administration has in the last seven months churned
out policies that stifle productivity in the formal and informal sectors,
thereby inflicting hardship on them. This has resulted in the semi-destruction
of the long-standing extended family system in our society.

“It is a statement of fact that under President Buhari’s
watch, the nation has witnessed the gloomiest festive season. Under this
government, Nigerians have had the worst Sallah celebration and by all
indications, this Christmas season is going to be the bleakest ever.

“More worrisome is the fact that there is no indication that
the government has any plan for ameliorating the hardship of the people.
Instead, the situation may get worse as this administration, in its lack of
economic initiatives, is now rolling up its sleeves to introduce some stringent
tax policies, in addition to completely removing the social palliatives
Nigerians benefit from.

“On the issue of the persisting fuel queues across the
country, we demand that the government come clean. Is it market driven or a
product of government conspiracy? Our take is that if indeed it is true that
the government has a hand in this fuel crisis, then they should have a rethink
and show pity on innocent Nigerians.

“We therefore align with the people in declaring that this
administration is unprepared for governance. President Buhari and his party
came to power on propaganda, deceit and falsehood and the government has now
shown lack of initiatives and the required competence to successfully move the
nation forward.

“We advise the government to note that any attempt to
increase taxes and duties will overstretch the lean income of ordinary
Nigerians and gradually inflict intolerable poverty in the land,” Mr. Metuh
said.
