Economy worsening under your Administration – PDP slams Tinubu
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has voiced significant concern over the escalating insecurity and the deteriorating state of the economy under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. The party conveyed these concerns during its 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, held on Tuesday in Abuja.
The PDP indicated that it would consider the resolutions from its South-East caucus at a meeting scheduled for June 30, 2025. This NEC meeting, which had been postponed multiple times due to various internal issues, was ultimately convened to address urgent matters within the party.
At the NEC meeting, the PDP leadership articulated serious apprehensions regarding the national situation under the Tinubu administration. The communique, read by the party’s Acting National Chairman, Iliya Damagum, outlined the PDP’s critique of the government. This critique encompassed worsening insecurity, economic hardship, and alleged corruption.
The communique stated: “NEC expresses serious concern over the sorry and melancholic state of affairs of our Nation under the irredeemably exploitative, insensitive, and anti-people APC administration of President Bola Tinubu.”
It continued: “NEC condemns the policy inconsistency, wholesale corruption, massive treasury-looting, budget padding, and diversion of public funds that pervade the Tinubu administration, resulting in infrastructural retrogression and loss of investors’ confidence in our system.”
The party also declared: “NEC stands in firm resistance to the sinister plot by the Tinubu-led APC to turn Nigeria into a one-party totalitarian state, as evidenced in the desperate attempts to stifle and annihilate opposition parties through open siege, threats, and intimidation of opposition figures and institutions of democracy in Nigeria.”
Finally, the communique reaffirmed: “NEC restates our Party’s belief in democracy, the Rule of Law, and the supremacy of the will of the people as expressed through their free and unhindered democratic participation in multi-party politics and governance.”
