The PDP has described the N6.8 trillion 2016 federal budget presented by
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday as a big fraud and executive
conspiracy tailored towards mortgaging the future of the nation.
The opposition party described Buhari’s decision to borrow N2trillion,
the biggest in the history of the nation as the “height of recklessness
and deceit from a government that trends on propaganda”.
The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh,
berated the Government for trying to use their “bogus” welfare
programme and “phantom” capital projects as cover and conduit to syphon
the funds to satisfy partisan interests, particularly to settle huge
campaign debts.
“It is obvious that this budget is an extension of the campaign promises
of the APC government, presented as a manifesto filled with bogus
promises which implementation will be inconclusive, thereby allowing the
APC to once again deny their promises.
“There has never been any known economy in the world where government
deliberately mortgage the future of its nation by borrowing excessively
to finance partisan interests while hiding under bogus welfare
programmes. This is moreso important as the APC in reeling out their
bogus campaign promises never informed Nigerians that they would
mortgage their future through excessive borrowing.
“We have it on good authority that this is the first in the series of
APC borrowings which would leave the future generation of Nigerians
under the burden of huge debts after four years,” PDP said.
The PDP also said the budget clearly showed that after seven months in
power, Mr. Buhari and his party, the APC were yet to differentiate
between governance and campaign propaganda.
APC sources who reacted to the attack in a chat with
Leystradamus.Com.Ng
simply advised PDP to watch out as they would soon start seeing the
difference between a "stealing government" and a "sincere government"
that is working to change the lives and well-being of the majority of
Nigerians.
