The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused President Bola Tinubu of dashing the hope of Nigerians a few months after assuming office.

PDP said Tinubu’s hurriedly executed policies have worsened Nigeria’s economic hardship.

Reacting to Tinubu’s nationwide broadcast at a press conference in Abuja, PDP’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, said the president was trying to defend his badly planned, hurriedly executed policies.

“Yesterday evening, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) dashed the hope of Nigerians, and especially his now disillusioned supporters, with his staged address in feeble defence of his badly planned and hurriedly-executed polices that have worsened economic hardship and uncertainty across the country in the last two months.

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) berates the recourse to such vacuous, illusory and showy maladministration which further revealed lack of leadership ingenuity and focus in the management of the affairs of the nation.

“The PDP is appalled that the address is another litany of false promises hurriedly put together by his handlers in the desperate bid to hoodwink and beguile Nigerians, blackmail Labour Fronts and divert public attention from the life-discounting experiences imposed by the APC government.

“Such antics and play on the psychology of Nigerians with propaganda and empty promises are consistent with the deceptive trajectory of the APC since its emergence in 2014,” Ologunagba said.
