APC blames PDP for impoverishing 133m Nigerians

0 46



The ruling All Progressives Congress has exonerated the administration of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for the poverty level of over 133 million Nigerians.

This clarification was made by the APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, when he appeared on Sunrise Daily, a popular programme on Channels Television, on Monday.

While stating he could not dispute the recent statistics released by the National Bureau of Statistics, Ibrahim fingered the opposition Peoples Democratic Party for plunging the nation into a sorry state as result of bad governance.

The NBS had in November disclosed that about 133 million people, which represented 63 per cent of Nigerians were ‘multidimensionally’ poor.

The bureau further indicated that 65 per cent of the impoverished people live up the north, while the remaining 35 per cent are represented in the south.

But the APC publicity director stoutly defended the Buhari’s regime, saying it had no case to answer when it came to the impoverished state of the average Nigerian.

He said, “I am happy the NBS did not say it is the APC that impoverished Nigerians. This poverty that has taken control of Nigeria is as a result of the misrule of the PDP for 16 years.

“The APC, since it came into power, has been doing everything to uplift the standard of living, to take people to the place of their ambitions, and it promised to provide succour, and it is doing so.”

Continuing, Ibrahim applauded the current administration, which he said deserved accolades for producing more millionaire rice farmers since it was elected in May 2015.
