The All Progressives Congress (APC) has gone tough on President Goodluck
Jonathan and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), raising some serious
issues which they want answers to.The APC in a statement released on
Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
criticised Jonathan and the ruling party for their continuous attack on
Muhammadu Buhari, Punch reports.Lai said it was time for the PDP to end
the muckraking, while Jonathan focuses on how he would tackle national
problems in his campaign rather than attack Buhari, the APC presidential
candidate.’We believe that elections should be about issues that will
be beneficial to the electorate, not about throwing everything but the
kitchen sink at a particular candidate simply because of his soaring
acceptability,” The party asked PDP the following questions:
- -To tell Nigerians how it plans to tackle the worsening insecurity in the land, the collapsing national currency, with the US dollar now exchanging for N215, massive unemployment, especially among the youths, decayed infrastructure and the unprecedented corruption under President Jonathan’s watch.
- – To tell Nigerians what happened to the $20bn missing oil funds, and come clean on concerns that the money could have vanished into the ruling party’s slush funds for electioneering campaign.
- - To tell Nigerians how it plans to move from the near zero governance of the past six years of the Jonathan Administration to good and purposeful governance.
- – Mr. President, where are the Chibok girls who were abducted nine months ago, and whom you promised to reunite with their families? What happened to the stage-managed truce with Boko Haram and why has no one been punished for deceiving Nigerians?
- – To tell Nigerians why soldiers are being sent to battle Boko Haram without the necessary equipment, even though trillions of Naira have been budgeted for the security and defence sector.
- – To tell Nigerians why he castrated the anti-corruption agencies, rendering them comatose and unable to tackle the runaway corruption in the country.The APC wondered why Nigerians should trust Jonathan to deliver on his promise this time, if in the last four years he has not made any significant improvement.
