The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has described a statement by the PDP that dictatorship was creeping into Nigeria under Buhari as a product of the, “ hangover of defeat it suffered during the last general elections”.
The PDP had also slammed the APC saying the portfolios assigned to Buhari’s ministers did not inspire change.

But the APC, in a statement issued yesterday, by its National Secretary, Mallam Mai Mala Buni, lampooned the PDP, saying: “The argument of the PDP that the portfolios inspired no change was warped and a product of defeat hangover.
“The PDP should face its rebranding pursuit instead of running down a performing government. APC is not a party, which will assign portfolios to miscreants, thugs and mistresses as rampant during the misrule period of PDP.
“The task of rebuilding Nigeria is a responsibility of every citizen. Rather than sit on the fence to find faults, the opposition should join hands with the President to re-fix the nation…”
President Buhari has what it takes to lead, he is imbued with vision to redirect Nigeria to prosperity but he needs the cooperation of all citizens and groups.
“Under five months, President Buhari has saved the country from brinkmanship, plugged loopholes, placed premium on prudence and set a new template for probity and accountability. In line with the manifestoes of this party, the President has clearly defined his socio-economic policies. With a little more patience, Nigerians will soon have cause to smile.”
The ruling party reassured Nigerians that the campaign promises of President Buhari would be fulfilled, adding that President Buhari-led federal government would take Nigerians to the ‘Promised Land’.
