The Labour Party has said It was no longer news that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration has built on the ruinous economic legacy left behind by President Muhammadu Buhari.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, said this in a telephone interview with our correspondent, in Abuja today.
He was reacting to the pronouncement by Governors of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), that Nigerians are hungry and angry, reports Vanguard.
Ifoh said, “The simple question to ask is, are Nigerians better off today than they were 10 years ago? What is the cost of living today? How much is the exchange rate of the Naira to major currencies especially the United States Dollars today?
“After so much talk, has corruption reduced? What about the security situation nationwide? We can go on and on.
“Today, it is an incontestable fact that more and more Nigerians are falling into the poverty trap today more than ever before in our nation’s history.
“Amidst all these problems, appointees of this government are helping themselves to our common patrimony.
“Nigerians are being treated to one financial scandal after another it is unfortunate. Instead of confronting these problems, the ruling party is dissipating energy fueling contrived crisis in opposition political parties.
“No true democracy can survive without credible opposition the type the Labour Party is prepared to continue to provide until we retrieve the people’s mandate in 2027.”
