North-East PDP blames APC for economic hardship in Nigeria

In midst of the leadership crisis rocking its National Working Committee (NWC), the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), North-East Zone has observed that the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) led Federal administration has brought untold hardship to the generality of Nigerians while no proactive measures are being taken to remedy the situation.

The  Zonal PDP at the end of its meeting held in Bauchi on Wednesday, agreed that it is the only Party that can provide the needed solution to the current challenges facing the nation, thus making it the last hope of Nigerians as the ‘messiah’ for salvation.

The meeting reflected on the 16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party at the helm of affairs as a ruling party and how it lost out to the All Progressive Congress (APC) in 2015 declaring that, “The PDP years were indeed a blessing to the Nation.”

The meeting of the Zonal Working Committee and Chairmen of the PDP, North-East Zone was necessitated by the current happening at the National Level of the Party.

The meeting was well attended and deliberated extensively on moving the party forward as it resolved and issued a communique signed by the Zonal Secretary, Kabiru Bappa Jauro, on behalf of the Zonal Chairman, Rev Emmanuel Bovoa and read by the Adamawa State Chairman, Tahir Shehu.

The meeting stated that since the inception of democratic rule in 1999, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) had been dominant in the North East sub-region, producing a former Vice President, former/Serving Governors, former/serving National Chairmen, former/serving National Assembly and State Assembly Members making the Party have tremendously contributed to the socio-economic development of the Zone, and Nigeria at large.

The communique contained that, “As regards to the National Chairmanship tussle, the meeting wish to align itself in toto with the position of the Governors, the BOT, National Assembly Caucus and all the Major critical stakeholders in the Zone. This, we believe shall bring decorum and sanity that will lead the party to lofty heights.”

The meeting also acknowledged and appreciated the unparalleled infrastructural development by the PDP Governors in their respective States and urged them not to relent on the solid foundation they had laid.

The meeting was also satisfied with the tremendous support and encouragement it is receiving from the PDP Governors for the Zonal Office and all the State chapters of the party.

The meeting, therefore, passed a vote of confidence on the Three Governors in the Zone namely, Adamawa, Bauchi, and Taraba States for performing very well and urged them to continue providing the dividends of democracy to the people of the Zone and Nigeria at large.

The meeting also resolved to especially appreciate the host, Governor of Bauchi State, Sen. Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, who also doubles as the Chairman, PDP Governor’s Forum for facilitating and providing conducive atmosphere for the meeting.
