The Presidency has reacted to the criticisms of the main opposition parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), over the alleged anti-people policies of the President Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
The PDP and LP had accused the APC government of implementing policies that had made it difficult for many Nigerians to celebrate Eid-el-Kabir, a highly symbolic Islamic festival.
The opposition parties also lamented the worsening economic crisis, the astronomical increase in the cost of essential goods and services, the collapse of the purchasing power of citizens and the scorching economic distress on millions of families across the country.
They urged Nigerians to pray fervently for the triumph of justice and the will of Allah in the affairs of the nation.
However, the Presidency, in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, dismissed the allegations as baseless and unfounded, saying the PDP was envious of Tinubu’s achievements in three weeks, which surpassed what the PDP could not do in 16 years.
Adesina said Tinubu had taken courageous and decisive steps to reposition Nigeria for rapid economic growth and wholesome greatness, such as tackling insecurity, fighting corruption, diversifying the economy, creating jobs and improving infrastructure.
He said Tinubu was committed to fulfilling his campaign promises to Nigerians and delivering dividends of democracy to all.
He also congratulated Nigerians on the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir and urged them to continue to support Tinubu’s administration as it strives to make Nigeria a better place for all.Â
