‘Insecurity, Hardship’ – PDP Says Tinubu Has Failed Nigerians

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said President Bola Tinubu-led administration has failed Nigerians.

The PDP stated this on Thursday in a statement in which it said the “Tinubu administration’s bad leadership has plunged Nigerians into unimaginable hardship, exacerbating the country’s already precarious economic and social conditions.”

According to the party, “Since assuming office in 2023, the APC-led administration’s policies and actions have only served to worsen the lives of Nigerians.

“One of the most significant hardships faced by Nigerians is the escalating cost of living.”

It emphasised that “The administration’s economic policy has led to a surge in inflation, making it difficult for Nigerians to afford basic necessities like food, healthcare, fuel, education, etc. The prices of staple foods have skyrocketed, leaving many families struggling to make ends meet.”

It noted that another area where the administration’s leadership has failed Nigerians is in the provision of basic infrastructure.

“The country’s power sector remains in shambles, with frequent blackouts and a lack of reliable electricity supply.

“This has not only hindered economic growth but also made life difficult for citizens who rely on electricity for their daily needs.

“The administration’s handling of the fuel subsidy crisis has also added to the hardship faced by Nigerians.

“The purported removal of the subsidy has led to a significant hike in fuel prices, making transportation and other essential services unaffordable for many Nigerians.

“This has had a ripple effect on the entire economy, leading to increased prices of goods and services,” the former ruling party said.

Furthermore, it said the administration’s failure to address the country’s security challenges has left Nigerians feeling vulnerable and unsafe.

“The rising incidence of terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping has made life difficult for citizens, who live in constant fear of attack or abduction.

“The healthcare sector has also suffered under the Tinubu administration, with a lack of adequate funding and resources leading to a decline in the quality of healthcare services. This has resulted in unnecessary deaths and suffering for many Nigerians who cannot afford basic medical care.”

The party stressed that the hardship faced by Nigerians under the Tinubu administration is a direct result of bad leadership and poor governance by the APC government.

“The administration’s policies and actions have only served to worsen the lives of ordinary Nigerians, who are struggling to make ends meet.

“This administration has failed in its promises to Nigerians and has failed to address the problems caused by its party in the eight years of the Buhari administration,” the party said.
