PDP Has No Conscience, Must Not Be Allowed To Rule Nigeria Again, Buhari Advises

President Buhari receives in audience select Leaders from South East in State House on 16th Nov 2018

President Muhammadu Buhari is obviously angry with the leadership of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the government they operated for 16 years, saying that for them to be struggling to return to power in 2019 shows that they lack conscience.

The President, who spoke to a select group of Southeast leaders at a meeting in the Presidential Villa, Abuja today, made it clear that he would not be tired of speaking about the golden opportunity Nigeria lost during 16 years of the PDP.

“We earned money, which we didn’t use. The state of infrastructure we inherited was terrible – no roads, the railway was killed and power.  They lacked conscience because anybody with conscience will not do what they did.  We will report them to Nigerians.  Let anybody lead this country but not the PDP.  They were so reckless with the resources of the country.

“If you ruin the economy, send your children abroad to get education, won’t they come back? I said it 30 years ago that this is the only country we have.  We must stay here and salvage it together.”

He referred to the endorsement of the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, by Ohanaeze Ndigbo, saying that the split that later emerged within the Igbo socio-cultural group did not surprise him.

President Buhari said that the moment the so-called resolution was announced, he got calls from well-meaning leaders from the region asking him to disregard it as it was without any substance.

“From that moment, I knew that the resolution would not stand, and alas, there it was.”

The President stressed that his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), got it right from the very beginning that the major problems facing the country were mainly on security, corruption and the economy.

“We have done so much. Given the chance, we will do more.  Given every chance, we will tell Nigerians where we were in 2015 and what we have achieved up to now.

The leaders of the delegation, Engineer Emeka Ekwuosa and the National Chairman of the United Progressive Party (UPP), Chief Chekwas Okorie, informed President Buhari that the Igbos and South-easterners generally understand the good things he is doing for Nigeria which they said, had unfortunately been misunderstood.

They promised to mobilize support for him in the south-east, saying that his re-election will be a national consensus.
