Since the 1967-1970 Civil War, Nigerians have not experienced a more traumatic national life as they do under the APC regime of President Bola Tinubu.

Nigeria’s major opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, noted that the incumbent president has left citizens in delirium, according to its New Year statement by its spokesman, Debo Ologunagba.

“The last 18 months have been the most excruciating period to Nigerians since the Civil War, with citizens now resorting to suicide and slavery mission aboard due to the hopeless situation foisted by the anti-people policies of the suppressive, exploitative and insensitive APC government, which continues to reject every appeal and suggestion for review of such policies,” said the opposition party.

PDP also accused Mr Tinubu of protecting APC stalwarts and government officials who allegedly plundered the national treasury.

“Mr President should come clean on his public commitment to fight corruption by ordering an investigation and recovery of the over N25 trillion reportedly stolen by APC leaders and officials in government,” said the PDP statement, “who have turned government agencies to automated teller machines to siphon funds for their benefit while other Nigerians wallow in abject poverty, hunger and starvation.”

More disheartening, according to the opposition party, “is that while Nigerians die of hunger and insecurity, APC leaders and officials in government continue to flaunt their luxury appetite and lifestyle in utter disdain to the feelings of millions of impoverished citizens.”
