The Peoples Democratic Party has described the 2021 New Year address by the President Muhammadu Buhari as empty, directionless and a confirmation that the country has no leader.
The PDP lamented that the speech by the President addressed nothing but only provided lame excuses and empty promises, the Party said in a statement obtained by Grassroots.ng
The party said the speech is an indication that compatriots need to come together to salvage Nigeria, adding that the country is fast heading to a failed state.
“As a president, President Muhammadu Buhari has not demonstrated the capacity to play his own part, as he claimed, having failed to find a solution for the security and economic challenges that pervade our nation under his incompetent and lethargic watch,” the PDP said.
“The myriads of lame excuses in Mr President’s address again underlines our national misfortune of weak leadership that is unable to resolutely confront and vanquish bandits, terrorists, kidnappers and vandals who are now holding our nation hostage, ravaging our communities, kidnapping and beheading our compatriots without restrain.
