The People’s Democratic Party’s youth wing has criticized President Bola Tinubu over the current economic hardship and insecurity in the country.
The party also said that former President Muhammadu Buhari spent eight years in office blaming his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP.
According to the reported by the “Daily Nigerian” Correspondence said that “Today, Tinubu and his team are following the same pattern, blaming the APC government under Buhari,” Usman Okai Austin, national coordinator of PDP Youths Frontier, lamented in a statement shared with journalists in Abuja on Saturday.
Mr Okai said: “We require leaders capable of addressing the nation’s current challenges and steering us towards economic recovery and security solutions.”
He further urged Mr Tinubu to seek guidance from experienced leaders like Messrs Jonathan and Obasanjo to move the country forward, emphasizing the importance of setting aside differences within the APC to focus on the well-being of Nigerians.
According to him, Mr Tinubu’s role in Lagos’ development is overstated, saying that Lagos benefited from its strategic location and previous status as the Federal Capital Territory before being relocated to Abuja by Ibrahim Babagida.
Mr Okai criticized the APC for relying on propaganda and highlighted the failure of the president’s economic policies to address modern challenges facing the country.
He added that, “the confusion within the party leadership demonstrates a lack of understanding of Nigeria’s complexities. The president’s confusion reflects the party’s trend of blaming others.
“Nigerians are struggling with economic hardships, leading to dropouts from schools and soaring prices of goods and services, resulting in the depreciation of the naira.
“In the midst of economic and insecurity crises, the administration appears confused.
“When President Tinubu assumed office, expectations were high for assembling a team of technocrats to rebuild the nation.
“However, his focus on securing a second term has led to neglect, and Nigerians are bearing the consequences.
Tinubu, considered the best within the APC, has failed similarly to Buhari in economic management. It’s time for him to take responsibility for his administration’s failures instead of resorting to blame games “Nigerians are suffering, and it’s evident that the APC is not the better option for the country
