APC lied, we’re not wrecking the economy – PDP

by Janet Joseph

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the claims of the All Progressive Congress (APC), that the nation’s economy has being ruined by Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

The ruling party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, said it was disgusting that the APC had stuck to its stock-in-trade of fabricating and dishing out falsehood in an attempt to deceive Nigerians and distort facts on the glaring achievements in the nation’s economy under President Jonathan in spite of the daunting challenges.

The party said it had continued to maintain a high moral ground in keeping to issue-based campaign, described the APC statement as a ploy to divert attention from its lack of acceptable economic blue-print and the refusal of its Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, to intellectually engage Jonathan on economic and other matters.

PDP noted that the nation has become the primary investment destination in Africa under the Jonathan administration.

“The influx of international retail giants and the rebirth of shopping malls in all major cities of the country attest to the nation’s encouraging demographics and stronger purchasing power of the citizens,” the party said.

The party said the business-friendly environment created by the Jonathan administration has also led to the revival of the manufacturing sector with leading car manufacturers such as Nissan, Hyundai and Kia setting up factories in addition to indigenous Innosons, Peugeot Nigeria and ANAMCO, providing business and employment for Nigerians.

It challenged APC to come out with its policy direction for wealth creation instead of engaging in unfounded claims adding that it should also be bold to present its presidential candidate to face Jonathan in a debate on the economy.
