PDP Says Nigeria’s Economy Is Getting Worse Under President Tinubu
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised serious concerns about the worsening insecurity and declining economy under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. This was a key point during the PDP’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Tuesday in Abuja. The party also said it would carefully consider the South-East caucus’s resolutions at a special meeting scheduled for June 30, 2025. The NEC meeting, which faced several delays before finally taking place, focused on urgent issues affecting the country and the party.
In a statement read by Acting National Chairman Iliya Damagum, the PDP criticized the current government for what it called growing insecurity, economic struggles, and widespread corruption. The statement described the Tinubu-led administration as exploitative and out of touch with the people’s needs. It condemned inconsistent policies, corruption, budget misuse, and the loss of investor confidence, which have led to a decline in Nigeria’s infrastructure.
The PDP also accused the government of trying to weaken opposition parties by intimidating politicians and undermining democratic institutions. Despite these challenges, the party reaffirmed its commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and the people’s right to freely participate in a multi-party political system. The PDP made it clear that it will continue to stand against any moves to limit Nigeria’s democracy or create a one-party system.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
