The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared that President Bola Tinubu’s ‘poorly-implemented reforms’ is pushing millions of Nigerians deeper into poverty.
The PDP BoT also expressed dismay over the decision of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to postpone the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting three consecutive times.
The Chairman of the BoT, Senator Adolphus Wabara, spoke for the Board in his opening remarks at the ongoing emergency meeting held at the party’s National Secretariat, in Abuja.
Recall that the NWC announced a third consecutive postponement of the NEC meeting, the latest being one which was supposed to be held on November 28, 2024.
Wabara noted that the decision of the Amb. Umar Damagum-led NWC to continuously postpone such a crucial meeting erodes the confidence of party members.
“On the national front, the harsh economic policies of the President Bola Tinubu’s administration have exacerbated the sufferings of Nigerians.
“The skyrocketing cost of living, coupled with poorly implemented economic reforms, has pushed millions into deeper poverty.
“The promises of economic relief have proven hollow, leaving families struggling to make ends meet. “Let us reaffirm our commitment to the values of fairness, equity, and prosperity for all Nigerians.
“Internally, we must put our house in order. I want to use this platform to call for unity among our PDP governors. “The strength of our party lies in our collective resolve, not in individual pursuits. We cannot afford to let personal ambitions or differences overshadow our shared vision for a better Nigeria. “Our governors are the bedrock of the PDP’s successes across states, and their synergy is vital for our collective progress.
“Let us prioritize dialogue, collaboration, and a sense of shared responsibility as we navigate these trying times.
“The BoT will be relentless in seeking for peace and unity in our party as the conscience of PDP.”
