The People’s Democratic Party, Nigeria’s main opposition party has bemoaned Nigeria’s fate under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The party described the past year under Tinubu as the most challenging in Nigeria’s history since the civil war.
This was contained in a statement by its National Publicity, Debo Ologunagba.
“It is apparent that inflicting pain and misery on Nigerians remains the policy thrust of successive APC administrations which became heightened by the not well thought-out twin anti-people policies of removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the Naira without due consideration for the citizens’ welfare and security,” it stated.
“As if these were not enough, the APC administration continues in its anti-people policies in the arbitrary hike in electricity tariff and imposition of multiple taxes on the already impoverished Nigerians with no corresponding tangible development directed towards the welfare of the people.
“Instead of addressing the grave economic challenges facing our nation, the APC administration continues to wreck our productive sectors with its ill-advised policies which have resulted in the exit of multinational giants including GlaxoSmithKline, Procter and Gamble, Microsoft among others and massive divestment by major oil and gas companies from our country in the last one year.”
PDP, however, lauded Nigerians for their endurance and urged them not to lose faith and hope in a working democracy due to the failures of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
Similarly, the Labour Party (LP), through their House of Representatives members scored the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu low after a year in office.
