Text Of Press Conference By The PDP’s National Publicity
Secretary, Olisa Metuh, On Wednesday, July 1, 2015 At The PDP National
Secretariat Abuja
*Metuh
As you are aware, today marks exactly thirty-two
days of the inauguration of a new administration under the APC, which was
elected into power over three months ago on the basis of their numerous
promises to the Nigerian people.
Even
though this government has continued to plead for patience, we are worried that
indications from President Muhammadu Buhari and his party do not inspire
desired confidence in the citizenry that they are adequately equipped and ready
to chart a direction for the enormous challenges of governance.
In
the last one month, instead of a journey to change as they claim, all we have
witnessed are avoidable tension, wrangling within the ruling party, disruption
of legislative activities in our National Assembly, painful economic stagnation,
pronouncement of voodoo achievements and overall uncertainty in the polity all
due to the apparent inability of our respected President to provide leadership.
*Buhari
We
have a President and a party that have since thirty–two days been unable to
decide on rudimentary appointments such as Secretary to the Government of the
Federation (SGF), Chief of Staff to the President, ministers and his
demand for 15 Special Advisers as approved by the PDP controlled Seventh
Assembly since June 5, 2015.
