The ruling All Progressive Congress APC in Nasarawa state in central Nigeria has dismissed as non-issue the allegation of possible commissioning of fake projects by Mr President plan visit in May to celebrate second year anniversary in office of Governor Sule and President Tinubu.
The APC is urging the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Nasarawa state to concentrate on resolving its internal crisis rather than dissipating energy on lame opposition.
APC in a statement by the state publicity secretary, High Chief Douglas Otaru while reacting to a statement credited to PDP and its Chairman in Nasarawa State, Mr. Adamu Bako, advised the opposition party to resolve its crisis, than dissipate energy on criticizing the impressive impact the ruling party was making in the state in the area of projects execution.
It counsel the party to rather stay mute and face its crisis than embarrassed itself with non-issue just for the purposes of making public noise.
It would be recalled that the PDP and its leadership had in a statement by Jonathan Ipaa, cautioned President Tinubu ahead his invitation to Nasarawa to commission projects executed by the APC government in the state.
The opposition PDP had in the statement warned the president against coming to inaugurate what the party described as fake and inherited projects outlined by Governor Abdullahi Sule administration.
According to the statement by APC, “The recent statement by the PDP chairman, through its press secretary, Mr. Jonathan Ipaa, cautioning president Bola Ahmed Tinubu against visiting Nasarawa state to commission projects, is utterly ridiculous and unfortunate.
“Such a statement from a chairman of major opposition party does not only showed that the party and its leadership was on life support as well as surviving on falsehood and a clear example of propaganda from a party that has lost its way.
“It’s ironic that a party embroiled in various troubles and litigations would attempt to question the integrity of the legacy projects duly executed by the hardworking administration of His Excellency, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule. The people of Nasarawa State are aware of the progress being made under the APC administration, and they will not be swayed by the PDP’s desperate attempts to discredit the administration”, the statement added.
“The projects in question are real and tangible evidence of the government’s commitment to improving the lives of Nasarawa residents. We urge the public to disregard the PDP’s falsehood and malicious claims and instead focus on the positive impact these projects will have on their lives.
