A statement by PDP national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh yesterday said the will of the APC to distort facts about the verifiable achievements of President Jonathan clearly shows that the opposition is fraudulent and desperate.
“That President Goodluck Jonathan has repositioned agriculture from the traditional subsistence occupation to an investment-driven, wealth and job-creating sector that guarantees food security remains incontrovertible and no amount of lies from APC propaganda machine can distort this fact.
“Why should the APC seek to distort the fact that under President Jonathan, Nigeria has expanded domestic production by additional 21 metric tons to exceed its 20 million metric tons target set for 2015, a feat which earned the nation a special award by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations?
“Should the APC be unhappy that under President Jonathan, genuine Nigerian farmers now have direct access to fertilisers, seedlings and other farm inputs through special intervention initiatives such as the e-wallet system, which allows as much as 14 million farmers to access fertilisers directly using their mobile phones?” the party asked?
The PDP called on Nigerians to note APC’s aversion towards their welfare and appealed to them to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan so as to ensure the continuity of the laudable projects in the sector.
