The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) declared that the 63rd Independence Day Address by President BOLA TINUBU was empty, bereft of ideas, and merely aspirational in the wrong direction.

The PDP in a statement by its national publicity secretary, DEBO OLOGUNAGBA, said President TINUBU’s admission in his speech that his administration is responsible for the current unbearable hardship in the country validates its position that his government lacks the competence, capacity, required skills and humaneness to effectively run the affairs of the country.

The PDP insisted that Nigerians do not need to pass through painful hardship as excused by President TINUBU if the nation is run by a government that has the required vision and skills to utilize and manage Nigeria’s economic potential.

The main opposition party said that President TINUBU’s speech also had no clear-cut measures to revamp the critical sectors of manufacturing, agriculture, food production, transportation, healthcare, education, and other key sectors of life in the country.

On the welfare package announced by the President, the PDP asserted that there is nothing to cheer over such an unpleasant bare minimum.
