PDP Blasts Tinubu Over Insecurity, Economic Hardship

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has voiced alarm over the growing insecurity and worsening economic conditions under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership.

This position was made known during the party’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, which took place on Tuesday in Abuja.

The party also noted that it would deliberate on the recommendations of its South-East caucus during a meeting scheduled for June 30, 2025.

The NEC gathering — delayed several times due to internal challenges — was finally held to tackle critical issues affecting the party’s direction and stance.

At the meeting, PDP leaders strongly criticized the state of governance under the current administration.

The communique, presented by Acting National Chairman Iliya Damagum, outlined a range of concerns, including insecurity, economic struggles, and corruption within the government.

“NEC expresses serious concern over the sorry and melancholic state of affairs of our Nation under the irredeemably exploitative, insensitive, and anti-people APC administration of President Bola Tinubu.”

“NEC condemns the policy inconsistency, wholesale corruption, massive treasury-looting, budget padding, and diversion of public funds that pervade the Tinubu administration, resulting in infrastructural retrogression and loss of investors’ confidence in our system.”

“NEC stands in firm resistance to the sinister plot by the Tinubu-led APC to turn Nigeria into a one-party totalitarian state, as evidenced in the desperate attempts to stifle and annihilate opposition parties through open siege, threats, and intimidation of opposition figures and institutions of democracy in Nigeria.”

“NEC restates our Party’s belief in democracy, the Rule of Law, and the supremacy of the will of the people as expressed through their free and unhindered democratic participation in multi-party politics and governance,” the communique partly stated.
