Major opposition to the ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has tackled the President, Muhammadu Buhari in its Eid-El-Kabir message to Nigerians.
In the statement signed by the party’s spokesperson, Dayo Adeyeye, PDP urged the President to stop making excuses for the failure of his administration.
The PDP further in its statement reminded Buhari that his election into office by Nigerians came with the hope for a better future.
The PDP’s message reads: “Mr. President in his Sallah message today, again blamed the present acute economic recession on the past administration and global economic downturn.
“Let Mr. President and his party, the APC, be reminded that it took a smart and experienced world-class Economic Team in the Year 2010 to lead Nigerians through a cushioned global financial meltdown and beyond.
“The ‘Change’ is really with them (APC) and their barrage of falsehood.
“They were elected to further better the lots of Nigerians, and not to dish out constant complaints on the situation which they mindlessly created not minding the attendant consequences of their actions on our collective destinies.”
The Peoples Democratic party further in its message urged politicians to emulate “Father Abraham for his willingness and total obedience to the will of God by agreeing to sacrifice his only son.”
The statement continued: “We want to use this opportunity once again to celebrate and felicitate with all our Muslim brothers and sisters in Nigeria and across the world on this occasion of Eid-El-Kabir as instituted by Allah through Prophet Ibrahim.
“We want to also urge Nigerians to use this period and pray for the recovery of our ailing economy, the unity and oneness of this country and continue making sacrifices for Nigeria to become great again.”
