The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Presidential candidate, Alh. Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday tasked the Muhammadu Buhari,
led administration to explain to what it achieved with the N13 billion loans it sourced in the last 3 years.
In a statement issued by the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization (APCO), on behalf of the party flag bearer, it urged the ruling party to name the real owners of the Ikoyi apartment alleged to belong a to an APC Stalwart,used in stashing billions of naira.
The former Vice President requested for initiatives put in place to address Nigeria’s 13.2 million children that are out of school, adding that it should name when the Ogoni cleanup will commence.
The statement read: “Name what President Buhari has done with the ₦13 trillion loans he has taken in 3 years (compared to the ₦6 trillion borrowed by the PDP in 16 years). Name the real owners of the Ikoyi Apartment billions.
“It has come to our attention that the Buhari government and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been very idle of late, which explains their abandonment of the vital duties of running the government in order to focus on hurling insults and false accusations on the PDP Presidential candidate.
According to him, Nigerians deserve the right to know issues that borders on their welfare, adding, we urge the Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) to take the #BuhariChallenge and answer the following questions:
“Name one project initiated, started and completed in the last three years by the Buhari administration, name one youth in President Buhari’s cabinet, name one campaign promise President Buhari has kept. Name one Southerner heading a National Intelligence agency under Buhari.
“Name one terrorist arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned by the Buhari administration, name one Buhari government official arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned by the Buhari administration over their many budget padding scandals, name one member of the Buhari administration fingered in corruption that was fired, arrested and currently facing trial.
“Name one former President or Head of State that has not been blamed by President Buhari for the precarious state of the economy he led us into, name one year that Nigeria’s GDP grew faster than her population under Buhari (for 16 years of PDP administrations, Nigeria’s GDP always grew faster than population growth).
“Name the initiatives the Buhari government has put in place to address Nigeria being named the world headquarters for extreme poverty under Buhari.”
The Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation, the statement stressed runs an issue based campaign where refined language and cerebral arguments founded on facts are used to disseminate the vision of its flag bearer which is why it call on the Buhari Campaign Organisation to waste no time in taking the #BuhariChallenge in clearing the air on these knotty issues bothering the minds of Nigerians.
