Port Harcourt Airport Terminal Project Ours, PDP Parodies Buhari
Loading ...The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) parodies President Muhammadu Buhari
for trying to claim credit for the Port Harcourt Airport Terminal, even
when it is public knowledge that the project was conceptualized,
articulated and financed by the PDP administration.
The PDP said President Buhari’s theatrical commissioning of the terminal
built by the PDP administration is another failed media stunt to create
a false impression that Mr. President is performing, even when he made
no contribution whatsoever towards the execution of the project.
Nigerians were thoroughly amused when President Buhari’s handlers
brought him to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for the first time since his
inauguration in 2015, only to orchestrate another failed attempt to
claim credit for project executed by others.
If anything, the Buhari administration, in its incompetence, only
succeeded in delaying the completion of the project, which was perfected
by the PDP, including payments to contractors.
It is to say the least appalling that after three and half years, a
President, who is seeking reelection, cannot point to any development
project, initiated and executed by his administration in any part of our
country. Instead, our dear President has been moving around trying to
claim credit for projects executed by the PDP, all in a desperate
attempt to cover his failures in governance.
Only recently, President Buhari and his dysfunctional All Progressives
Congress (APC), to the chagrin of Nigerians, attempted to claim credit
for the Abuja Light Rail Project, even when it was public knowledge that
that project was conceptualized and policy-propelled by the PDP.
We know that President Buhari is eager to stuff up his false performance
claims ahead of election, but doing so with the achievements of others
is the height of desperation and deceit, which has already become
repugnant to majority of Nigerians and the international community.
The PDP therefore counsels President Buhari’s handlers to use the
remaining days of his failed administration to prepare him to get ready
to accept his imminent defeat in 2019, as Nigerians have already rallied
behind our candidate, Atiku Abubakar, whose performance credential is
known to all.
