“Don’t Return Us Back To Recession Again” – PDP Warns President Buhari

The Peoples Democratic Party has approached President Buhari to direly establish his bureau, cautioning that deferral may further influence the nation’s economy. The PDP likewise approached the President not to “run the nation into recession again with his know-it-all frame of mind”.

The National Chairman of the gathering, Prince Uche Secondus, said it was discouraging that the President had at this point to name his ministers over a quarter of a year subsequent to winning the presidential race. Secondus asserted that the postponement by the President in naming his ministers in 2015 added to diving the nation into recession.

He said, “We in the opposition believe vehemently that we won the presidential election. This is the reason we are contesting the outcome of the election at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.

However, having being declared the winner (of the February 23 polls), and also sworn in for a second term, the President ought to have realized his many mistakes of the past.

“By now the list of his ministers ought to have been submitted to the Senate for consideration. Nigerians should tell the President that he should not run the country into recession again. He did so when he assumed office in 2015. That time, he was behaving like a sole administrator, carrying on as if he was a military head of state.
