The People’s Democratic Party, PDP in Niger State, has mocked Governor Abubakar Sani Bello led All Progressives Congress, APC, over the visit of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to the state with no single project commissioned.
The PDP in a statement signed by its Chairman Barrister Tanko Beji and made available to Journalists on Sunday disclosed that “we expected a performing Government would line up projects for the Vice President to commission as he visits the state for a jamboree turbaning in Bida. But None!
“As usual, which is now part of the DNA of the incumbent APC led Government of Governor Sani Bello, funds are wasted on ceremonies without bearing on the lives of the poor masses”.
Beji while reeling out the level of dilapidation the roads are int he state said “Pitiable, Governor Sani Bello drove through Minna – Bida for over 4 hours to receive the Vice President in Bida, a journey of 84 kilometers which should not be more than 1 hour, but for the deplorable nature of the road.
“As though that is not enough undoing, the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo was not shown any project or land mark achievement by either the Government or the APC legislators to commission in Bida”.
Beji added that, the last time Vice President Osinbajo was in Niger, he commissioned an uncompleted drainage system that is still lying fallow till date.
“The PDP recalls with Nostalgia, how High ranking Government officials, leaders of thought and statesmen will visit the State to commission Gigantic, solid and impactful projects across the state when it held sway. This shows the decrepit level the state has descended into”, he added.
Furthermore, he said “the PDP will bring back the days of projects, development, vision and mission with clear cut articulate policies to reset the state back to its glory from 2023”.
