The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
has advised the All Progressives
Congress (APC) led Federal
Government to declare “emergency”
on the economy.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Prince Dayo Adeyeye, made the call in
a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.
Adeyeye also advised government to
invite competent hands to manage and
revive the country’s economy.
He, however, said that PDP had been
vindicated of its positions following
the acceptance of responsibility
regarding the economic misfortune
caused by the APC.
He said Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo,
who spoke with newsmen after APC
governors meeting with President
Muhammadu Buhari on Monday
accepted the responsibility.
Adeyeye quoted Okorocha as saying
“We must take responsibility and we
must never shift the responsibility to
anybody. We are responsible for
everything happening in Nigeria.
“The good, the bad, the ugly but we are
promising Nigerians that we shall fix
it”.
The PDP spokesman said that the
declaration came after several months
of buck-passing to previous PDP
administration.
He called on the APC to also accept
other responsibilities as well correct
the impression that previous PDP
administration achieved nothing in
the economy, infrastructure and
policies in 16 years.
“For the umpteenth time, let us
reiterate that the PDP’s achievements
cannot be wished away.
“We, therefore, appreciate the APC’s
acceptance.
“We urge them to accept all other
responsibilities for all the wrongs they
have plunged the country into and
equally apologise for their serial lies.’’
