The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has hit back at the Minister of Works, Babatunde Raji Fashola, for saying the PDP has nothing to offer Nigerians.
Fashola, a former governor of Lagos state was quoted as saying that the PDP was not thinking well and that come 2023, the major opposition party would be defeated again by the ruling party because it (PDP) has nothing to offer Nigerians.
Taking exception to the comments, the PDP deputy national publicity secretary, Diran Odeyemi urged the Minister to bury his head in shame, noting that in his two appointments, first as Minister of Power, Works and Housing and later as Minister of Works, “Fashola failed to justify his membership of the executive arm of government.”
According to Mr. Odeyemi, “If Fashola’s attack on PDP is a campaign strategy ahead of 2023, it has failed already. If it is to mask the incompetence of his All Progressives Congress, it is dead on arrival,” adding that having failed to deliver on the promises made to Nigerians, the ruling party was now doing everything to blame everyone but themselves for the woes bedevilling the nation.
“Even the Lagos/Ibadan expressway is taking them eternity to fix. As Minister of Power, Fashola would be remembered for the darkness his stewardship fetched Nigerians. Let’s remind shameless Fashola that the EndSARS protests were a clear demonstration of the failure of the government he has been part of since inception, to fix the challenges confronting us as a nation,” he said.
