All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party

The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has come out to blast the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for saying Nigeria is a failed State.

The party recently revealed this in a statement by the Secretary of its Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC, Sen James Akpanudoedeh.

According to him, even if naysayers and opposition partisans chorus their terrible wishes from now till eternity, Nigeria will be nowhere close to becoming a failed state.

He added that President Muhammadu Buhari government is not oblivious to the country’s challenges and he is clearly addressing them.

It read, “The President Muhammadu Buhari government is not oblivious to the country’s challenges and is visibly and frontally addressing them.

“From the economy to security, it is easy, to sum up, Nigeria with some recently recorded security incidents and the economic downturn. However, this government has displayed the political will and capacity to contain any criminal/terrorist activity and return the economy to growth.”

“President Buhari’s administration which is implementing one of the world’s largest and far-reaching social investment programmes targeting the very poor and other vulnerable groups, including women and persons living with disabilities through pro-poor spending, is definitely not governing a country close to becoming a failed state.

“Nigerians will recall the ignoble pastime of past administrations which will rather bury its head in sand and spin conspiracies in the face of insecurity and engage in voodoo economics to hoodwink Nigerians while national resources were stolen and diverted to political cronies. Those days are gone.

“While the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and their hirelings engage in their unfortunate and apparently orchestrated attacks on the Armed Forces and other security services, the APC will rather support their efforts and charge them to do more to further degrade the capacity of terrorists and other criminal elements to attack soft targets”.
