The People's Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday took the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the cleaners over the Abuja/Kaduna rail project commissioned on Tuesday by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The party said that the APC government appropriated the project, which was conceptualized, awarded and constructed by the PDP's administrations.
The PDP, in a statement by its Spokesman, Prince Dayo Adeyeye derided the APC, saying that after one year of its administration, it had no project to commission except the PDP's Railway project.
The PDP explained that the Rail Project was conceptualized by the Obasanjo administration and successive PDP administrations of President Umaru Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan commenced work and built the Project to 99% completion.
It said that the only work done by President Buhari on the project was the Commissioning.
The Party said the usual rhetoric of the APC had always been that the 16 years of PDP's rule were years of waste, and asked if the Railway Project was also a waste?
"The truth which history will bear out is that the PDP, in its 16 years of rule, successfully completed numerous projects that substantively changed the infrastructural landscape of Nigeria. Everyone of those 16 years were years of great productivity, with remarkable landmark achievements.
This is very much unlike the APC which has already wasted one full year without even scratching one square meter of ground anywhere in the country," the party said.
The PDP said that "if the morning truly shows the day, then we can say that Nigeria is now really in the era of waste and stagnation."
