Amid Nigeria’s current hardships, the youth wing of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged President Bola Tinubu to seek guidance from former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan on how to advance the country.
The youth wing emphasized that Nigeria requires a leader capable of steering the country towards economic recovery, citing Tinubu’s perceived failure in this regard
A statement signed by Usman Okai Austin, National Coordinator of PDP Youths Frontier, asserted that former President Muhammadu Buhari spent eight years in office blaming Jonathan and the PDP.
It further noted that “today, Tinubu and his team are following the same pattern, blaming the APC government under Buhari.”
According to Okai: “We require leaders capable of addressing the nation’s current challenges and steering us towards economic recovery and security solutions.
“President Tinubu should seek guidance from experienced leaders like Jonathan and Obasanjo to move the country forward.”
He stressed the significance of putting aside internal divisions within the All Progressives Congress (APC) to prioritize the welfare of Nigerians
Okai noted that Tinubu’s role in Lagos State’s development is overstated because it benefited from its strategic location and previous status as the Federal Capital Territory before being relocated to Abuja by Ibrahim Babangida.
He also condemned the APC for leaning on propaganda and pointed out the president’s economic policies’ failure to tackle modern challenges in the country.
He added, “The confusion within the party leadership demonstrates a lack of understanding of Nigeria’s complexities. The president’s confusion reflects the party’s trend of blaming others.
“Nigerians are struggling with economic hardships, leading to dropouts from schools and soaring prices of goods and services, resulting in the depreciation of the Naira.
“Amid economic and insecurity crises, the administration appears confused.
“Tinubu, considered the best within the APC, has failed similarly to Buhari in economic management. It’s time for him to take responsibility for his administration’s failures instead of resorting to blame games. Nigerians are suffering, and it’s evident that the APC is not the better option for the country.”
Kanyi Daily recalls that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had urged the National Assembly to investigate Bola Tinubu’s administration following the leak of a memo regarding a one billion Naira allocation.
