THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the New Year broadcast made by President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday was depressing as according to the party, it completely failed to address serious economic and security issues confronting the nation and for which Nigerians earnestly expected answers from government. We knew their New Year message would heighten Nigerians’ despondency rather than providing us hope,” the statement said. The party also expressed disappointment that instead of accepting that it has failed, the Presidency attempted to appropriate and claim credit for the achievements of the PDP. “We challenge the APC Presidency to tell Nigerians which landmark project it has initiated, articulated and executed in its close to three years of governance. In a message of New Year felicitation to Jonathan, the party boss commended the spirit of statesmanship demonstrated by Jonathan within the party ranks.
