PDP prays for Buhari


It’s a month since the inauguration of
President Muhamamdu Buhari but the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is asking
Nigerians to join in praying for the
government for it to succeed.
The PDP, in a statement on Sunday by
its Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh,
says it becomes necessary to pray for
the Buhari-led federal government
because of what it termed as 30 days of
motion without movement.
The PDP says it is deeply worried that
the President, who promised to unveil
his cabinet two weeks after his
inauguration, has not been able to
decide on key appointments such as
ministers, Secretary to the Government
of the Federation (SGF), a Chief of
Staff and advisers in key sectors of the
economy.
Mr Metuh added that the situation is
taking its toll on the economy, which
has according to him in the last 30 days,
witnessed unprecedented decline with a
terrifying crippling of foreign and
domestic investments including
activities in the money and capital
market sectors.
The PDP also criticised the President for
the handling of counter insurgency
since assuming office.
It said that apart from the directive to
relocate the counter terrorism
command center to Borno State and
seeking assistance from foreigners, no
other concrete step has been taken in
the fight against insurgency.
“Instead, the anti-terrorism effort has
completely lost steam in the last 30
days, with insurgents, who had already
been pushed to the verge of surrender
in the Sambisa forest by the Goodluck
Jonathan administration, now surging
back and spreading into the country,” it
said.
