Don’t Blame Us For Your Failures, APC Tells Jonathan 2 weeks ago

administration of using the opposition party as
a weapon to divert attention from its
immeasurable failures and broken promises.

The APC said this in a press statement yesterday in
Abuja, signed by the media and publicity director of
its presidential campaign, Mallam Garba Shehu. The
party said it was confused by the allegations by the
PDP national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, that
the opposition is behind the current fuel scarcity in
the country.
According to Shehu, any ruling party that could lie
through its teeth in order to mislead Nigerians
automatically lacks the credibility to seek re-election.
He said the marketers accused the PDP government
of owing them N250billion in fuel subsidy, and
because they had run out of line of credit, they had
no choice but to stop the importation of fuel.
He further stated that the marketers also blamed the
currency devaluation, which they said, made
importation unprofitable.
Shehu said the APC is not in power and could not
have been responsible for the current hardships
facing Nigerians, including declining living
standards, erratic power supply, fuel scarcity,
poverty, unemployment and other harsh conditions
imposed on Nigerians by Jonathan’s administration.
The APC statement said that rather than looking for
someone to blame, Jonathan must find an urgent
solution to the current fuel scarcity, which is
complicating the existing hardships of ordinary
Nigerians.

It will be recalled that Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu has
played down the opposition party’s accusations,
insisting that accusing fingers should not be pointed
at the ruling party but rather at the opposition party.
