PDP to Nigerians: ‘We know you’re disappointed… but don’t insult Buhari’

The Peoples Democratic Party says Nigerians should not hurl profanities at President Muhammadu Buhari, in spite of the fact that the All Progressives Congress-led federal government has so far failed to deliver on its campaign promises.

The opposition party said Nigerians should guard against losing their cool, no matter the frustrations and disappointment felt over the performance of the government.

A statement released on Thursday, December 24, by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, said there would be an end to the prevalent negative plight of the nation’s economy.

“Nigerians across board have in the last few weeks been recalling the campaign promises made by President Buhari and the APC, particularly, their December 24, 2014 Christmas message wherein they promised several reforms and welfare programmes that will, in their own words, ‘begin to positively impact on the citizenry within its (APC) first few months at the helm, to such an extent that Nigerians will have a better Christmas celebration in 2015’.

“Whilst we understand the indignation, frustration and disappointments occasioned by the long list of unfulfilled promises and dashed expectations under the current regime (and justifiably so), we urge that Nigerians should not recourse to hauling insults on the President as such would not bring the succour they seek.

“The challenges we face today as a nation should not make us lose our dignity and demureness as a people. They should not make us miss the essence and meanings of Eid-El-Maulud and Christmas and the divine succour they bring, especially the assurance that there is always an end to every negative situation.

“The PDP therefore calls on all Nigerians to use the occasions to reflect on those things that bind us together as a nation; show love to one another and commit the nation into Gods’ hands, even as we charge the political class to be conscious of divine accountability in all their dealings.”
