Democracy Day: APC, PDP trade words over Buhari’s re-election in 2019

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has said President Muhammadu Buhari needs eight years to put Nigeria on a good footage.

The party noted that it cannot rebuild what has been destroyed for sixteen years within two or four years.

But the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state said President Buhari does not deserve another term of four years.

The PDP stressed that President Buhari and the APC have deceived Nigerians with empty promises.

But the publicity secretary of the APC, Prince Abayomi Adesanya during a chat with reporters on Democracy day celebration said President Buhari has delivered on his promises on Security and provision of employment.

He said Nigerians must exercise much patience with the President and his team, assuring that the APC meant well for the country.

Meanwhile, Director of publicity of the PDP in the state, Mr. Ayo Fadaka maintained that the President Buhari-led administration is confused on how to improve the lot of Nigerians.

He said those calling for another four year-tenure for the President were sycophants who do not love Nigeria.

Abayomi said “President Buhari has done well in the area of security and fighting corruption. Nigerians must exercise patience with the President

“What has been destroyed for sixteen cannot be rebuild within two or four years. President Buhari needs eight years to put this country on a good footage. All Nigerians need to support him” he said

But Fadaka noted that, “Nigerians have voted for Buhari to be President for this tenure and it now behooves on him to make sense out of his tenure.

“He has spent two years out of his four years and it is against the promise he made to Nigerians on economy and corruption and what have you

“What we have today is a government that has randomly deceived Nigerians; we have a government that seems to be at sea as regards what it has to do to improve the lots of Nigerians

“If the way President Buhari is going, then he doesn’t deserve another tenure of four years because it is only when a President has performed so well that he can be rewarded with another tenure” he said.
