New Year’s Speech: President’s national broadcast addressed nothing, PDP says
By Modupe Shodeinde
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has described the President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2021 New Year address as full of “empty promises that addressed nothing.”
The Party made this assertation in a statement titled, ‘Buhari’s New Year Address, Empty, Directionless – PDP…Shows Nigerians Have To Come Together, Salvage Our Nation.
The statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja, on Friday, noted that the President’s new year’s national broadcast was empty and directionless.
The statement read: The President’s speech underscores the urgent need for compatriots to come together and salvage our nation that is fast becoming a failed state.
He further said it was “appalling that on New Year’s Day, all that President Buhari could offer a troubled and frustrated nation was a regurgitated script full of lame excuses and empty promises that addressed nothing.
“President Buhari has not demonstrated the capacity to play his own part, as he claimed, having failed to find solution for the security and economic challenges that pervade our nation under his incompetent and lethargic watch.
“The myriads of lame excuses in Mr. President’s address again underlines our national misfortune of a weak leadership that is unable to resolutely confront and vanquish bandits, terrorists, kidnappers and vandals who are now holding our nation hostage, ravaging our communities, kidnapping and beheading our compatriots without restrain.”
