We did not cause hardship – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has refuted claims made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, stating that opposition parties are responsible for the country's hardships. Speaking at a presidential campaign event in Kaduna, Tinubu accused the opposition of creating hunger and poverty. However, the PDP's National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, denied these allegations, asserting that the opposition, particularly the PDP, bears no responsibility for the nation's current challenges.

He urged the APC to shoulder its own responsibilities instead of engaging in political blame games. The PDP emphasized that it considers these statements as attempts to evade accountability and deflect attention from the pressing issues facing the country under the APC-led administration. Instead of blaming the PDP's 16 years in power, the PDP spokesman argued, the APC should outline its accomplishments and present concrete measures to tackle Nigeria's current economic issues.

The PDP firmly rejects any attempt to use the PDP's past tenure as a justification for the shortcomings of the current administration. The party asserted that Nigerians are seeking practical solutions, affordable food, economic stability, and improved security, not endless political arguments and blame-shifting. They remain confident that Nigerians will judge political parties based on their records, policies, and commitment to the welfare of the people.
