The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, claiming he has failed to improve the lives of Nigerians. According to the PDP, Tinubu’s policies have exacerbated the country’s economic and social issues, many of which originated during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
In a recent statement posted on their official X page, the PDP accused Tinubu’s administration of causing severe hardship for Nigerians. They argued that his leadership has deepened the country’s economic woes, making life more difficult for ordinary citizens.
The PDP highlighted several key areas where they believe Tinubu has failed. One major issue is the rising cost of living. Since Tinubu assumed office in 2023, inflation has surged, leading to higher prices for basic necessities such as food, healthcare, fuel, and education.
In a post on its X page, PDP wrote: “The Tinubu administration’s bad leadership has plunged Nigerians into unimaginable hardship, exacerbating the country’s already precarious economic and social conditions.
“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.
“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.
“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.”
PDP blamed the insecurity in the country due to increasing cases of kidnapping and banditry on Tinubu’s failure.
It added: “Furthermore, 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.
“In conclusion, 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.”
