The Peoples Democratic Party has condemned the comment by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, in which he reportedly said restructuring was not the problem of Nigeria.The party said that with the comment, the Vice President, had allegedly dismissed the promise by the All Progressives Congress and President Muhammadu Buhari to restructure the nation, if voted into power in 2015.
The party said the comment by Osinbajo had further confirmed that the ruling party lied to Nigerians, just to win the 2015 general elections.
PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Wednesday said the APC made the issue of restructuring a cardinal agenda in its manifesto, alongside what he described as other bogus promises which he said the ruling party had failed to fulfill.
He added that the ruling party’s dodgy approach to the issue of restructuring had earned it the odious reputation as the most deceptive political organisation in the history of our nation.
He said, “The PDP recalls that the APC, in line with its duplicitous script, went ahead to set up a deceptive committee on restructuring, which made several recommendations that they never contemplated implementing, but only to create an impression that their dysfunctional party and incompetent government are committed to their promises.
“Now that the 2019 general elections are around the corner, the APC has become apprehensive that Nigerians will hold it to task on its promises, including that of restructuring, hence the resort to rhetoric and desperate recants.
“In all, the PDP counsels the APC and the Buhari Presidency to learn that there is no way they can hide from their own shadows as they must be ready to face Nigerians on all scores, in all their lies, deception and false promises, with which they fraudulently took over power in 2015.”
