- Atiku Abubakar’s criticism of Tinubu administration’s Lagos-Calabar project reflects PDP’s determination to scrutinize government policies and advocate for accountability
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains resolute in its commitment to closely monitor the policies and actions of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, despite facing internal challenges.
Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, affirmed that the party will not allow its internal crisis to hinder its oversight role over the government and hold it accountable for its decisions.
Recent remarks by Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, criticizing the Tinubu administration’s approach to the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project underscore the party’s determination to scrutinize government policies.
Amid calls from some APC members urging the PDP to address its internal issues rather than focus on government affairs, Ologunagba emphasized that it would be a disservice to the nation for the PDP to ignore pressing national concerns.
He stressed that the PDP, as a major opposition party, has a responsibility to address critical issues affecting Nigerians, such as the state of the economy and security challenges.
Ologunagba reiterated that the PDP’s criticism of the Tinubu-led government is not merely opposition for the sake of it but a reflection of the party’s commitment to advocating for the people’s interests.
He highlighted the importance of engaging with national issues, stating, “PDP cannot operate in isolation from the environment in which we find ourselves as a country.” He emphasized the need to address issues like insecurity and the struggling economy that impact Nigerians’ lives daily.
In conclusion, Ologunagba affirmed that the PDP will continue to prioritize the welfare of the people and hold the government accountable for its actions, regardless of internal challenges.
