The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenges President Muhammadu Buhari
\nto lead by example by ending the profligacy that pervades his Presidency
\nin order to give validity to his directives to ministers and other
\nfunctionaries.<\/p>\n
In the same vein, the PDP tasks the Buhari Presidency to explain the
\nbasis and source of Presidential support for the Office of the First
\nLady, including the appointment of aides, contrary to his promise not to
\nrun that office<\/p>\n
According to a statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, “The PDP holds
\nthat Mr. President remains responsible and answerable for his
\npresidential assurances and Nigerians expect an explanation on the
\nviolation of such sensitive undertaking.<\/p>\n
“While the PDP is still monitoring the implementation of directive to
\ngovernment functionaries on cost cut, the party tasks President Buhari
\nto take the first step by immediately fulfilling his promise to reduce
\nthe Presidential fleet, as well as cut his over bloated entourages and
\ncurtail the opulent lifestyle in the Presidency, which is daily flaunted
\nbefore suffering and impoverished Nigerians.<\/p>\n
“The PDP invites Nigerians to note that the Buhari Presidency has proven
\nto be extremely expensive and a major draining pipe for valuable
\nresources, while millions of compatriots, who look up to government for
\nsolutions, wallow in hunger and acute poverty.<\/p>\n
“The profligacy that permeates the Buhari Presidency had further
\nmanifested in the public fight between the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, and
\nPresident Buhari\u2019s nephews over issues of opulent accommodation in our
\npresidential villa.<\/p>\n
“The party further urges Nigerians to note that the Buhari Presidency
\nhas failed to make the details of its budget public, despite demands by
\nour party and other well-meaning groups in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
“The failure to make the details of the Presidency budget public places
\na huge burden on the Buhari Presidency, particularly in the face of
\nallegations of budgetary corruption and financial sleazes.<\/p>\n
“Unless the Presidency budget is made public for Nigerians to see, any
\ndirective on cost cut remains cosmetic.”<\/p>\n
