Buhari’s last 10 months has not brought joy to Nigerians – Labour Party

The Labour Party, LP, yesterday claimed that the last 10 months of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration have not brought “joy” to Nigerians, but has engendered fears as well as political and economic siege. Disclosing this in a statement issued in Abuja by its National chairman, Alhaji Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, the party accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, of putting the nation under siege.

It added that the mentality of the present administration has created a nation without coherent practice of ethics, values and processes, but excessive action, taxes and laws that prevent growth, while government’s intervention in the economy remained controversial.

According to the statement, “APC’s ‘change’ has only been successful in the furtherance of the siege mentality, whereby Nigerians are being oppressed, isolated and manipulated in the face of the negative maneuvering of the ruling party.

“The APC government despite purposeful intervention by well-meaning Nigerians, the Labour Party, civil societies and the NBA, has created a corridor of consistent flouting of the ethics of good governance, participatory democracy along sacred laws of the land in the pursuit of perceived and contrived idealism, thereby making effective opposition low, and multi-lateral thinking deficient.”

Noting that the government has consistently employed propaganda in giving excuses to cover up economic misfortune, Abdulsalam stated that the President needs to be reminded that there is no fuel, electricity, gas, food and peace in the land.
