…Says APC government sees Boko Haram as partner
…Fear being scrutinised over Dapchi error
By Samuel Ogidan
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives Caucus yesterday told All Progressives Congress (APC) led federal government that its policies lack human face.
The Caucus, in a statement by the House Minority Leader, Hon. Leo Ogor, lambasted the APC government over its unusual generosity towards Boko Haram, which it promised to defeat but now almost sees as a partner.
The PDP said the APC government nurses palpable fear over any scrutiny of its errors in Dapchi.
The lawmakers urged the government to heed Bill Gates advice, that the government should concentrate on physical infrastructure.
“Instead of diverting public attention with its usual deceit and propaganda, the APC government should gear up and deliver on its hundreds of unfulfilled campaign promises,” it said.
The party warned that the APCa��s uncharitable use of the Chiboka��s girlsa�� abduction during the 2015 political campaigns along with its current propaganda efforts cannot help APC win re-election in 2019.
a�?Over and over, it has been proven that hands down, the current APC government in Nigeria beats all preceding administration, including the colonial ones, in the sinister art of deceitful lies and propaganda.
a�?With fiendish mercilessness, APCa��s 2015 campaign milked the unfortunate abduction of Chibok girls for every available ounce of propaganda and disinformation against the preceding administration; its campaign rhetoric and official hoopla from the lying minister had included freeing of the Chibok girl and achieving total defeat of Boko Haram insurgents.
a�?Today, the APC government nurses palpable fear over any scrutiny of its errors in Dapchi or its unusual generosity towards Boko Haram which it promised to defeat but now almost sees as a partner with which to share deep and befuddling confidence,a�? the House caucus stated.
Emphasizing the need for government to seriously heed American billionaire, Bill Gatesa�� advice by making life more meaningful for citizens who have waited endlessly to see the actualization of APCa��s campaign promises, the caucus asserted that life has become more unbearable for even millions of those who voted for APC.
a�?Although the APC government is known not to be a listening one, last Thursday, the Co-Chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Mr. Bill Gates emphatically stated that the Federal Governmenta��s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan was not reflective of the peoplea��s needs.
a�?It is an open secret that under APC, Nigerians have fared worse on the misery index; those who were rich before are no longer investing, the poor are becoming poorer while almost thirty million Nigerians are either unemployed or underemployed,” the lawmakers said.
