APC fumes as PDP accuses Tinubu of making false claims

The Peoples Democratic Party, on Tuesday, berated President Bola Tinubu for allegedly making false claims of achievements in his 64th Independence Day speech.

The opposition party claimed that Tinubu’s speech exposed the ruling All Progressives Congress’ insensitivity to the struggles of Nigerians.

But in a reaction, the APC described the PDP as a frustrated party seeking relevance.

In a statement released on Tuesday, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba described Tinubu’s speech as a “complete waste of time,” emphasising that it failed to address the pressing economic and security issues currently plaguing the country.

In his national broadcast on Tuesday morning, President Tinubu stressed the need for reform to ensure Nigeria’s progress and prosperity.

He warned against continuing with business as usual, which he claimed could lead to national collapse.

The President stated that upon taking office 16 months ago, his administration had prioritised reforming the political economy and defense architecture in light of the nation’s challenges.
