The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
has said that the ruling All
Progressive Congress (APC) must
apologise for the lies it told against
former President Goodluck Jonathan
during the build-up of the 2015
elections.

In a series of tweets on Saturday,
the PDP also accused APC of not
fighting corruption but rather
‘sharing dollars in Central Bank of
Nigeria and doing illegal forex
deals’.

PDP said:

“Although Lai Mohammed has
openly admitted to talking too much
during the campaign, they must also
apologize for the lies they told
against GEJ.

“The APC and its members should
become sober and apologize to
Nigerians for all the lies and
propaganda they dished out during
the campaign. Boko Haram
Slaughtered 18 women during a
funeral service in Adamawa, the
government is yet to acknowledge or
issue a statement on it.

“They said they are fighting
corruption, has the employment
offer given to their children to
NNPC, CBN, PTDF, FIRS, HOS been
terminated?

“They tell you they are fighting
corruption but they are sharing
dollars in Central Bank of Nigeria &
doing illegal forex deals.

“They tell you they are fighting
corruption, they give their children
CBN, NNPC, PTDF, FIRS, HOS jobs
while you defend them here for
crumbs. FYI: the 350 people illegally
recruited into Federal Inland
Revenue Service (FIRS) are all
children of president Buhari’s
friends in APC.

“All the government has successfully
done in 1year is to shut down the
economy, ruin businesses, drive
away investors, then give excuses.

“It is important to remind Nigerians
that this Government has not
awarded a N10m contract since its
inception 1year ago except, helipad
in Daura.

“When President Jonathan started
the Abuja-Kaduna Fast Rail in 2011,
APC and its members said it was a
colonial LOCOMOTIVE. Is it not
ironic that ‘Buhari’ who cancelled
Lagos Rail Project initiated by
Jakande 3 decades ago will now
commission Abuja-KD Fast Rail.”
