President Muhammadu Buhari has exhibited the highest form of illusion by
\nclaiming that his administration has performed better in governance than
\nprevious Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, administrations, the opposition
\nparty has said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The statement signed by Kola Ologbondinyan, said President Buhari’s claims
\nare not only ridiculous but “completely irreconcilable with the
\nharrowing economic and security realities, has exposed President Buhari
\nas the author of series of false performance indices and propaganda in

According to the statement:<\/p>\n

\nPDP in the 2015 elections, Nigerians are still aware that during the PDP

“PDP also invites President Buhari to remember that his consistent global
\nde-marketing of our nation led to the flight of Foreign Direct
\nInvestments, job losses and the tumbling of our naira from N165\/1USD
\nwhere the PDP left it in 2015 to N360 to 1USD under his watch.<\/p>\n
