The ruling party stated this while responding to the governors claim that the APC has destroyed the country’s economy and institutions.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has lambasted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors for blaming President Bola Tinubu for everything happening in the country.

This is as the party accused PDP governors of lacking full comprehension of their responsibilities as states leaders.

The ruling party stated this while responding to the governors claim that the APC has destroyed the country’s economy and institutions.

Recall that the governors held a meeting in Enugu on Wednesday where they discussed the recent Supreme Court decision that granted financial autonomy to local government councils in the country and other national issues, including the economic hardship and food inflation being faced by Nigerians.

Reacting to the PDP’s accusations via a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the ruling party accused the governors of being morally and politically unfit to point fingers.

APC said governors of the opposition party lack understanding of their place and responsibility in the system of government.

The statement read in part, “They do not understand the seriousness of the responsibility that they bear as chief executives of their states to justify the resources at their disposal to build and bolster their domestic economies for the good of their people.

“Rather, the PDP Governors speak and carry on as idle spectators and executive free-loaders while blaming the federal government for everything, including their spectacular failure to accomplish the most elementary service delivery to their people.

“For example, on record, Delta State, governed by the PDP since 1999, is the highest recipient of federal allocation in the country but is emblematic of PDP’s acute corruption, misrule and utter hopelessness, with piles of backlogs of unpaid salaries and pensions to hardworking citizens of the state.

“The same PDP governors, many of whom have failed to pay the legal minimum wage to their workers, hurdled together, without any sense of shame, to accuse the President Bola Tinubu-led administration of delay in approving a new minimum wage for workers.

“Nigerians do not need to be reminded of the PDP’s inglorious 16 years of odious rule, during which the party built nothing that can be remembered or destroyed.

“The APC-led administration, through its award-winning Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), His Excellency, Barr. Nyesom Wike is only now completing and commissioning numerous road projects in the FCT awarded, paid for as far back as 2003 and 2010 but recklessly abandoned by successive PDP administrations.”
