Osinbajo must take responsibility for Buhari’s economic failures – PDP

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo must take full responsibility for the rot and failures of the Muhammadu Buhari economic policies, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP said on Tuesday.

The party said that instead of playing with figures that the vice-president should face up to the government’s failures as the arrowhead of the administration’s economic team.

“Osinbajo is challenged to present to Nigerians, the empty scorecard of APC failed administration, for which President Muhammadu Buhari has now lost his carriage as a leader,” the PDP said in a statement issued by

its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan.

The PDP said it was now confirmed that the nation’s debt profile escalated under “the profligate, uncreative and incompetent Buhari administration, which crippled our once robust economy, pushed it into recession, turned our nation from a growing economy to a debtor country and world’s poverty capital.”

“Despite being busted, Osinbajo is labouring to deceive Nigerians by converting domestic borrowings in Naira, under the APC, to US dollars, so that the very high exchange rate will make it look smaller in dollars. This is despite verified figures even from agencies of government showing an accumulation of 29.6% debt under Buhari as against the 20.14% under the Yar’Adua and Jonathan administration and the 0.44 % under the Obasanjo administration.”

“Osinbajo is reminded that he is the head of Buhari’s bungling economic team and should therefore, not in anyway, parade himself as if he has no blame at all in the manifest failures of this administration.

“What Osinbajo has refused to come to terms with is that Nigerians already know that the Buhari administration, wherein he is a major actor, is the most corrupt in the history of our nation and that no amount of concealments, propaganda and false claims can erase that fact.

“Nigerians are no longer swayed by Osinbajo’s homilies and lip service to fiscal federalism, which he is now mouthing, just because the 2019 general election is around the corner.

“Instead of lending himself to be used to beguile Nigerians,  Osinbajo should use the remaining days of the APC administration to advise himself and President Buhari on life after office, especially as leaders, who manifestly failed their people, when they trusted them the most.”
