Talking about 16 years of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as against one year of All Progressive Congress (APC): The PDP met a bag of rice at less than N2500 in 1999, but left it at N11,000 in 2015 when they left power. Secondly, the PDP met the Dollar at N20 when they came in 1999, […]
Talking about 16 years of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as against one year of All Progressive Congress (APC): The PDP met a bag of rice at less than N2500 in 1999, but left it at N11,000 in 2015 when they left power.
Secondly, the PDP met the Dollar at N20 when they came in 1999, but left it at N220 in 2015 when they were leaving. Thirdly, the PDP met petrol pump price at N11 when they came in 1999 but left it at N87 when they were leaving in 2015. Fourthly, the PDP met a bag of cement at less than N400 but left it at N2000 while they were leaving in 2015.
In addition, the PDP met a tin of milk at N15 in 1999 but left it at N100 when they left in 2015. Furthermore, the PDP met only OPC in 1999 but left us with Niger Delta militancy, MASSOB, IPOB, BAKKASI and Boko Haram as at when they left in 2015. And, the PDP was ushered in with a free and fair election in 1999 by the military but they left us with ballot box snatching, rice sharing for campaigns, do-or-die politics, political assassinations, etc.
Finally, even life expectancy for Nigerians was 59 years when PDP came in 1999 but PDP left it at 42years.
All these outlined problems are the legacy of the PDP led government. The people and party that brought Nigeria and Nigerians to her knees are again offering Nigeria advice on governance, can someone tell them to please let us give this administration its four years, before judgement.
What they couldn’t do in 16 years, they demand this administration to deliver in one year. Are these people serious?
I think we have to stop blaming Buhari’s government, for inherited problems his administration is working hard to solve. Even as I buy a litre of petroleum at N200 or more, I will continue to endure. Still as power generation drops, I will continue to believe that things will get better.
Yet as the exchange rate remains high, I will continue to have faith in God believing that one day it shall be better. As salary is not paid as and when due, I shall continue to believe that this condition is not forever. Even as the prices of food items and other commodities have gone high, I will continue to have faith and confidence that one day it shall become history.
