The Presidency has blasted the activities of the opposition party, PDP, saying the party stands for the biggest obstacle to good governance and change in Nigeria.

Malam Garba Shehu, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, in a recent statement in Abuja, disclosed that the PDD should stop concerning themselves with the internal affairs of the APC.

According to him, PDP should focus on going back to the people to try to know what they want and what Nigeria needs from them as a party.

He added that they will not be taken seriously if they do not stop concentrating on APC’s problems.

His words, ”As the Peoples Democratic Party, the country’s main opposition party grapples with deeply troubling questions about its terminal decline and future in national politics, Nigerians must be surprised reading a statement issued by them, assuming the role of Spokesmen for President Muhammadu Buhari.

”What business do they have talking about alleged love lost between President Buhari and the APC? What do they know? Who sent them?

”Today, the PDP represents the single biggest obstacle to good governance and change that the country needs and the people are yearning for.

”Both self-respect and sound political judgement demand that the Party takes an introspective look at itself after two successive defeats in national elections, asking what went wrong and how to fix its battered image.

”They need to go back to the people, in towns and villages, to know what the people want and what the country needs. Instead of doing that, they are taking roles for themselves that are not mandated by law, morality or political gamesmanship.

”What business do they have issuing a statement on the love or the lack of it between the President and his party? This is not why they lost elections.

”The party needs a reboot that aligns with current national mood and aspirations, to focus on their grim future after two successive defeats.

”It is the issue they need to focus on if they are to be taken as a serious opposition party again.”

”As for the APC, the geographical expansion of the party is nothing short of a testimony to the rosy future that lies ahead. The party has come to stay, and the President and the country will ensure that this is achieved.”
