National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Kola Ologbondiyan has said the country is now a “funeral parlor” under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ologbondiyan said this while hosting members of the party from his Kabba/Bunu Constituency of Kogi State at the party’s national secretariat on Wednesday.
According to him, “Nigeria is passing through perilous times. Today, our country is turning into funeral parlour by the APC. You need to let our people know the current state of the country so that they will not make the mistake they made in 2015 by voting for Muhammadu Buhari.
“We don’t need anybody to tell us that we are suffering. “It is unimaginable that while Nigerians are suffering untold economic hardship, including unpaid salaries, due to the misrule of the APC, governors elected on the platform of the APC diverted N150 million each, amounting to a humongous N3.6 billion to fund their wasteful national convention in Abuja.
“Recently, the Brooking Report shows that under President Buhari and APC governors, millions of Nigerians are daily dropping below poverty line.
“According to the report, Nigeria under Buhari has become poverty capital of the world. There is hunger and starvation everywhere, yet the APC stole N3.6 billion from public coffers to fund its national convention.
“Everybody knows that APC is a party of corruption. That is why their choice of a national chairman is an individual overburdened by allegations of humongous corruption and alleged stealing of public funds, yet enjoying presidential cover, even when the petition against him at the EFCC is in the public domain.”
