The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has blasted President Muhammadu Buhari for taking credit for the construction of new Terminal Building at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, commissioned on Thursday, December 20, 2018.
The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) Director, Media, and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, said it was unfortunate that President Buhari, in his desperation for power has yet again claimed credit for a project his administration made no contribution towards the funding and execution. The statement reads:
“It was derisory to see Mr. President and his handlers, comically swaggering and gleefully hugging the cameras at the commissioning of a project they made no contribution.
“If anything, like the Port Harcourt Airport terminal building, President Buhari, in his flops, only succeeded in delaying the completion of the project, which concept and construction was perfected by the PDP, including payments to the contractors.
“Is it not appalling that President Buhari, who, out of sheer incompetence and total disregard for the development need of our nation, cannot point to any key development project he had initiated and executed since his inauguration in 2015, despite the huge resources at his disposal, only to be going around the country, claiming credit for projects executed by the PDP?
“Unarguably, such manifest incompetence and resort to false performance claims is the reason our federal lawmakers booed and jeered at Mr. President at the 2019 budget presentation at the National Assembly.
“In any case, what would one expect from a President that has openly admitted that he lacked the capacity to manage an economy as complex as Nigeria’s for which he has promised Nigerians more suffering in the coming year.
“The PDP is aware that President Buhari is desperate to validate his false performance indices, but seeking to lay claim to projects executed by our party, only shows that he has hit the end of the road.
