Buhari Has Only Put PDP Looters Out Of Job – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Saturday rebuffed claims by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that the Muhammadu Buhari administration had put 40 million Nigerians into the market place through alleged mismanagement of the economy.

The APC, however, admitted that the Buhari administration has put a lot of PDP members out of what the party described as “their illegitimate job of looting the country, not the fictitious 40 million Nigerians being bandied by the PDP.”

The APC in a statement issued by its spokesman, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu said:

“For 16 years, several leaders of the PDP were having a bazaar over our commonwealth, in their reckless and senseless race to produce world’s highest number of billionaires whose only enterprise was stealing from the public purse.

“During this period of calamitous heist, thousands of PDP members also held Nigeria by the throat, in an unpatriotic race to help themselves to our collective resources. The entire public sector in collaboration with willing players from the private sector was neck-deep in fleecing the treasury.

“At a period of surplus, when crude oil price rose to as much as $140, successive PDP governments supervised a massive scrambling for cheap money. Alongside the fuel subsidy racket, diversion of counter-insurgency funds to PDP leaders and cronies, they awarded roads, railways, power plants, airport terminals, dredging of waterways, bridges, and many other projects that Nigeria badly needed, yet delivered nothing. The projects were mere decoy and conduits for looting the treasury.

“With billions of dollars stolen, the APC government inherited a decrepit country from PDP.

“In the last five years, the President Buhari-led APC government has not only been putting these looters out of jobs, we are relentlessly working to recover our country’s stolen resources from them. We are glad that Nigerians are seeing positive results of the current administration’s efforts.

“Hundreds of looters are being prosecuted, assets illegally acquired and unexplainable wealth are being recovered, while a number of them are spending time in jail. Many more will be on their way to jail soon.

“A number of them are on the run and we are collaborating with the international community to bring them to justice.

“Meanwhile, as we put the PDP looters out of jobs, we are creating the environment and other support structures for creating legitimate jobs. The outcomes are evident in the construction, manufacturing and agricultural sectors despite the fact that the country is earning far less than what was earned under the PDP.”
