The All Progressives Congress, APC, has slammed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, following the opposition party\u2019s governors meeting in Enugu on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that governors elected on the platform of PDP held a meeting in Enugu on Wednesday, after which they accused the APC of destroying the country\u2019s economy and institutions.<\/p>\n

The PDP governors were said to have come together to discuss the recent Supreme Court decision that granted financial autonomy to local government councils in the country and other national issues, including the economic hardship and food inflation being faced by Nigerians.<\/p>\n

APC, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the PDP governors are barefaced heirs of a legacy of sleaze and ruin, morally and politically unfit to point fingers.<\/p>\n

APC said governors of the opposition party lack understanding of<\/p>\n

their place and responsibility in our system of government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey do not understand<\/p>\n

the seriousness of the responsibility that they bear as chief executives of their states to justify the resources at their disposal to build and bolster their domestic economies for the good of their people.<\/p>\n

Rather, the PDP Governors speak and carry on as idle spectators and executive free-loaders while blaming the federal government for everything, including their<\/p>\n

spectacular failure to accomplish the most elementary service delivery to their people,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, on record, Delta State, governed by the PDP since 1999, is the highest recipient of federal allocation in the country but is emblematic of PDP\u2019s acute corruption, misrule and utter hopelessness, with piles of backlogs of unpaid salaries and pensions to hardworking citizens of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same PDP governors, many of whom have failed to pay the legal minimum wage to their workers, hurdled together, without any sense of shame, to accuse the President Bola Tinubu-led administration of delay in approving a new minimum wage for workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians do not need to be reminded of the PDP\u2019s inglorious 16 years of odious rule, during which the party built nothing that can be remembered or destroyed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe APC-led administration, through its award-winning Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), His Excellency, Barr. Nyesom Wike is only now completing and commissioning numerous road projects in the FCT awarded, paid for as far back as 2003 and 2010 but recklessly abandoned by successive PDP administrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe petroleum subsidy regime and parallel foreign exchange regimes sustained by the PDP for the reckless pillaging of our commonwealth blew a gaping hole in the nation\u2019s economy that the APC government continues to work assiduously to revitalise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe transient hardship occasioned by inevitable corrective policies will pale into insignificance in comparison to the enduring prosperity they will bring to all Nigerians,\u201d APC said.<\/p>\n
