The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday asked the Peoples Demovratic Party (PDP) to apologise to Nigerians for “the unprecedented looting of the country’s commonwealth” under its watch.

This is contained ‎in a statement released to newsmen in Abuja by the National Secretary of the party, Alhaji Mai Mala Buni.

The APC also asked Nigerians to be patient, stating that the Buhari administration would revive the economy.

‎It said, ”In reacting to the orchestrated and insensitive comments by the PDP on the economy, the APC urges the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to remain focused in its bold bid to restore economic growth in the country.

”In spite of PDP’s orchestrated and feeble attempts to blackmail the current administration and twist facts, the reality remains that the prevailing socio-economic hardship faced by Nigerians is a direct consequence of the mismanagement of the economy.

“It also includes the unprecedented looting of the country’s commonwealth perpetrated under PDP’s watch.

”The PDP’s attempt to turn truth on its head is fraudulent, insensitive and an insult to Nigerians.

”For the umpteenth time, the PDP must own up to its transgression and apologise to Nigerians.

”Going forward, the urgent task before the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration is to restore the country’s battered economy back to health.

“All legitimate and innovative means are being employed to achieve this in the quickest possible time.

”The APC assures Nigerians of the strong political will and commitment of Buhari’s administration to revive the economy and tackle the nation’s current challenges through suitable and well-thought economic policies, fiscal discipline and socio-political reforms.”
