Linus Okorie, PDP Ebonyin,\u00a0 has said\u00a0 Asiwaju Bola Tinubu\u00a0 should take part of the blame for the failure of his party to fulfill their promises to Nigerians, instead of dwelling on excuses or looking for a scapegoat.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tinubu had over the weekend descended very heavily on minister of state, petroleum,\u00a0 Ibe Kachikwu, for alleged unguarded and insensitive comments on the perennial fuel scarcity brought upon Nigerians by the Buhari government since the last quarter of 2015.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unfortunately, he said, \u2018Tinubu mysteriously derailed from this ennobling track for no sensible reason than, probably, an urge to redeem some modicum of public respect and confidence for the APC, which evidently has lost more political capital through a consistent display of plan-lessness and crass incompetence than even its extreme opponents could have contemplated, a few short months ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Okorie, Tinubu did this by attempting a weak and non-contextual connection of the PDP to the &#8220;undemocratic excesses&#8221; of a rapidly evolving \u2018fascist regime\u2019 of the APC.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;With the greatest of respect to the &#8216;Lion of Bourdillon&#8217;, the APC has a responsibility to deliver on its over 3000 promises to Nigerians and would do well to keep its eye on the ball than this compulsive and overburdened recline into the past\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;The &#8216;issues that press us&#8217; cannot be resolved by PMB and the APC by the continual bashing of the PDP which has long yielded power. The only reason the APC is in government today is because they laid alluring claims to some magical and often esoteric &#8216;solutions&#8217; of the problems of the Nigerian nation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Tinubu, an accomplished chartered accountant is well aware that &#8216;sunk costs&#8217; or irretrievable expenditure in whatever quantum add no value to corporate plans and bottom line.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHe is in the know that clear plans\/policies, focused implementation and diligent monitoring systems are the basic parameters for productive governance.<br \/>\n&#8220;Can he, in clear conscience and at the risk of personal integrity, point to the PMB\/APC policies on any sector of the economy, including the petroleum sector to &#8216;support his confidence that President Buhari and this government can resolve the issues that press us? &#8221; he queried.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hon.
