The Peoples Democratic Party has turned the heat on the ruling All progressives Congress on the declining indices of the Nigerian economy.
The opposition party literally told the APC-led government to stop chasing shadows and concentrate on finding solutions to the festering economic woes in the country.
PDP in a series of tweets on its twitter handle, @pdpNigeria, on Tuesday charged the APC to focus on resolving the economic woes currently ravaging the country.
It slammed the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration on the management of the Nigerian economy. The party added that the country’s economy fared better during itss 16-years than it is now.
The opposition party also called out the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, John Odigie Oyegun, over his recent comment that data it presented on the country’s economy was doctored.
PDP had recently presented a statistics, which painted the country’s current economic picture in bad light.
The party which took to its twitter handle, wrote: “There are no indices anywhere by which the Muhammadu Buhari administration can be assessed as better than ours.”
“APC should focus on resolving the economic woes they have brought on Nigerians.
“Chief Oyegun’s response to our media statement of 19/08/2016 is a summary of the APC led FG– long on prose & badly short of substance. His retort that we hired spin doctors to bandy figures is badly unfortunate.
“Our collective misfortune is made worse when we consider that the chairman of the ruling party thinks that figures that show the parlous state of the economy under the APC-led FG are spin or that the poor state of the economy is an act of God.
“Chief Oyegun needs to concern himself more with the salient issues.”
