Our<br \/>\nPresident recalls that under his own watch, over 8 million Nigerians<br \/>\nhave lost their jobs, 16 million remained unemployed, 18 million more<br \/>\nwere underemployed while another 27.44 million refused to work for<br \/>\nvarious reasons related to frustrations occasioned by the negative<br \/>\npolicies of his government.<\/p>\n<p>In the same vein, we hope President Buhari notes that unlike his Ghanian<br \/>\ncounterpart, who initiated development projects and opened<br \/>\nfactories, in Nigeria under his watch, many factories have shut down,<br \/>\ninfrastructures are collapsing, inflation has soared, fuel price has<br \/>\nmoved from N86.50 to N250-N300 per liter in various parts of his<br \/>\ncountry, while the nations debt profile has continued to escalate.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, when President Buhari offered to assist Ghana in her fight<br \/>\nagainst corruption, we hope he remembered that the world already knows<br \/>\nthat back home, his administration reeks of allegations bordering on<br \/>\ncorruption in high places and the Transparency International (TI) report<br \/>\nhas exposed the fact that corruption has worsened in Nigeria under his<br \/>\ngovernment.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the world knows that what obtains in Nigeria is direct<br \/>\npersecution of opposition members under the guise of a fight against<br \/>\ncorruption, which has been aided by intimidation of the judiciary and<br \/>\nincessant harassment of journalists.<\/p>\n<p>The PDP therefore urges President Buharis handlers to stop embarrassing<br \/>\nthe nation, especially at the international stage.<\/p>\n<p>We know that the Presidency sought to use the Ghana visit to curry<br \/>\ninternational endorsement for their 2019 reelection bid, unfortunately,<br \/>\nthey reaped a harvest of international embarrassment<br \/>\nand ridicule.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we want to urge Mr. President to be wary of turning Nigeria<br \/>\ninto a joke in the international arena, especially as the world knows<br \/>\nwhat is obtainable in his government.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\">\n<\/div>\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>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on President Muhammad Buhari to rather use the benefit of his state visit to Ghana to draw lessons from his Ghanian counterpart, President&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60492,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
