PDP Chairman Accuses Buhari Administration of Destroying Nigeria's Progress

Strategic Insights -

Nigeria, Jan. 23 -- The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Iyorchia Ayu, has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of destroying everything one of his predecessors, Olusegun Obasanjo, had achieved. Ayu made the statement during his visit to the former President in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Saturday, where he expressed that the Buhari administration has plunged the country into generational debt, making unborn generations slaves to the debt.

Ayu also blamed the Buhari administration for Nigeria's reputation globally as an insecure country and the poverty capital of the world, contradicting the country's reputation under Obasanjo's leadership. He likened the current situation to slavery, saying that Nigeria was totally set free from debt by Obasanjo, and direct foreign investment was on the rise. Ayu, however, claimed that the current administration has undone this progress and plunged Nigeria into eternal debt. He also stated that Nigeria has lost its respect in the international community, citing the worsening insecurity and the creation of a poverty-stricken image of the country.

During his visit, Ayu promised Obasanjo that the party would oust the ruling All Progressives Congress in the coming general election. Ayu reminisced about the period between 1999 and 2007, referring to it as the golden era of the PDP and Nigeria under Obasanjo's leadership.
