The opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) launched a scathing attack on President Bola Tinubu’s New Year’s address, labeling it a “harvest of deceit, false claims and empty promises.”
In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP described the speech as uninspiring and a waste of time, failing to address any crucial issues plaguing the nation.
“Nigerians were dismayed by President Tinubu’s reliance on empty rhetoric,” the PDP charged, “while neglecting critical issues like the biting insecurity, crumbling infrastructure, ailing manufacturing and productive sectors, the suffocating 28% inflation rate, the Naira’s freefall, alarming unemployment, and widespread poverty fueled by the reckless and insensitive policies of his administration.”
He added that Tinubu’s statement that his actions and policies are in the interest of the nation further confirmed that this administration is allegedly subjecting Nigerians to hardship as a way to suppress them to surrender to totalitarianism.
