The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed concern over the exacerbating insecurity and dwindling state of the economy under President Bola Tinubu’s watch.
The PDP said this at its 99th National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting held on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to the party, it would consider the resolution of its South-East caucus at its meeting slated for June 30, 2025.
DAILY POST reports that the meeting, which was postponed multiple times due to various issues, was convened to address pressing matters within the party.
At the NEC meeting, the PDP leadership expressed serious concerns over the state of the nation under the Tinubu administration.
The communique read by the party’s Acting National Chairman, Iliya Damagum, highlighted the party’s critique of the government, which included worsening insecurity, economic hardship and alleged corruption.
“NEC expresses serious concern over the sorry and melancholic state of affairs of our Nation under the irredeemably exploitative, insensitive, and anti-people APC administration of President Bola Tinubu.
“NEC condemns the policy inconsistency, wholesale corruption, massive treasury-looting, budget padding, and diversion of public funds that pervade the Tinubu administration, resulting in infrastructural retrogression and loss of investors’ confidence in our system.
“NEC stands in firm resistance to the sinister plot by the Tinubu-led APC to turn Nigeria into a one-party totalitarian state, as evidenced in the desperate attempts to stifle and annihilate opposition parties through open siege, threats, and intimidation of opposition figures and institutions of democracy in Nigeria.
“NEC restates our Party’s belief in democracy, the Rule of Law, and the supremacy of the will of the people as expressed through their free and unhindered democratic participation in multi-party politics and governance,”;; the communique read in part.
