The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the argument on who is to take glory for the Abuja – Kaduna Standard Gauge Rail Line Project which was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari this week.
The party said that the project was conceptualized, awarded and constructed by the PDP’s administrations.
In a Statement by its spokesman, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, PDP said the Rail Project was conceptualized by the Obasanjo Administration and successive PDP administrations of President UmaruYar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, commenced work and built the Project to 99% completion saying that the only work done by President Muhammadu Buhari on the project was yesterday’s 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 asking 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.
“Every one 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”. Prince Adeyeye said.
The PDP Spokesman noted that ‘if morning truly shows the day, then we can say that Nigeria is now really in the era of waste and stagnation.’
