THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned “claims” by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Presidency that the administration has recorded numerous achievements in its short span.
Saying the achievements are imaginary, the PDP added that such claims could set up President Muhammadu Buhari for national and international ridicule.
A statement yesterday by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, said it was embarrassing that the APC and aides of the President decided “to invade the minds of Nigerians with propaganda and tissues of lies” instead of assisting the President, who was inaugurated three weeks ago, to settle down, form a government and deliver his campaign promises to Nigerians.
The statement added: “We therefore urge the APC to stop embarrassing the nation with premature and unsubstantiated celebration of imaginary achievements, especially if they ever want to be credible and responsible people, as sincerity and not propaganda remains the hallmark of trustworthy administration.
“The APC should not by any means attempt to use its flimsy list to divert attention from its numerous campaign promises for which the people are holding them accountable.”
The party advised presidential spokespersons “to allow Nigerians to judge the President as events and time will prove exactly the taste of the old wine”.
