ABUJA, NIGERIA – In
the PDP’s message to Nigerians, signed by Dayo Adeyeye, its national
publicity secretary, to mark the Muslim celebration, the party urged the
president to stop the blame-game as he did again in his message to the
people.
The PDP said: “Mr President in his Sallah
message today, again blamed the present acute economic recession on the
past administration and global economic downturn.
“Let Mr
President and his party, the APC, be reminded that it took a smart and
experienced world-class economic team in the year 2010 to lead Nigerians
through a cushioned global financial meltdown and beyond. “The ‘change’
is really with them (APC) and their barrage of falsehood. They were
elected to further better the lots of Nigerians, and not to dish out
constant complaints on the situation which they mindlessly created with
its attendant consequences on our collective destinies. “It is therefore
high time they stopped this unnecessary grumbling and concentrate on
how to redeem our economy by providing good governance to the people.”
The
PDP said it joined other well-meaning Nigerians to felicitate with
Muslim brothers and sisters worldwide on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir
while advising the political and ruling class in the country, to emulate
“Father Abraham” for his willingness and total obedience to the will of
God by agreeing to sacrifice his only son.
The
statement, as reported by The Cable, added: “We want to use this
opportunity once again to celebrate and felicitate with all our Muslim
brothers and sisters in Nigeria and across the world on this occasion of
Eid-El-Kabir as instituted by Allah through Prophet Ibrahim. “We want
to also urge Nigerians to use this period and pray for the recovery of
our ailing economy, the unity and oneness of this Country and continue
making sacrifices for Nigeria to become great again.”
