As the countdown to the December 9 elective national convention of the
PDP begin, former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday took the
Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to the cleaners, saying the All
Progressives Congress (APC) government is being run on lies and
propaganda.
Speaking in Abuja while receiving one of the aspirants, Jonathan said
the solidarity being shown to the party even though it lost election in
2015 is a pointer that “There is something in the PDP."
While pledging to speak up some day on the giant strides recorded by the
party in the course of its 16-year stewardship, the former President
took a veiled dig at a serving Minister who he said, once stated that
all it took a serious government to fix the power challenge was six
months.
“The PDP administration for 16 years did well and will continue to do
well but this administration has done nothing,” he said, adding that
“They deployed propaganda and lies at a professional level.
“In the power sector, we did well to revive it. A State governor
attacked our government, saying that any serious government should be
able to fix the power challenge within six months. Today, APC has been
in power for how many years now? Fortunately the then governor is in the
APC Government as a Minister,” Jonathan said, fighting a bout of
laughter.
