Leaders of the Peoples' Democratic Party have been linked to the failure of former president Goodluck Jonathan in the March 28 presidential election.

Chieftains of the former ruling Peoples' Democratic Party have come under heavy criticism for allegedly being responsible for the failure of former president Goodluck Jonathan in the March 28 presidential election.

Daily Independent reports that this remark was made by the executive secretary of Nigerian national submit group, Tony Uranta, on Tuesday, August 11.

He said that majority of the feats that are being appropriated to President Muhammadu Buhari by the All Progressives Congress and the spokesmen of the president were the ones achieved by the immediate past president.

Uranta is reacting to the statement made by the PDP leadership that the APC-led federal government is taking credit for Jonathan’s achievement. He said how can APC take the glory on steady power supply when the president is yet to appoint a minister of power .

He said: “The PDP failed Jonathan woefully as most of his enemies were in his own party. And most of the people that dug the hole that he fell into were his party leaders. I am not in the least interested in what PDP said. I have always maintained that neither the PDP nor the APC or in fact, any party in Nigeria has any ideological basis that is pro-people or for the common good. The people in the PDP are after what they can gain for themselves and how they can further increase their self-aggrandizement.

“But it is a fact that a lot of things are being claimed by the present administration or people speaking on behalf of the present administration that are things that are clearly attributable only to the former administration under Goodluck Jonathan.

“For example, refineries have come into action. Nobody in his sane mind can attribute that to the best intentions of president Buhari. Power has stabilized to a great extent. We all know that not only has Buhari not yet put a minister of power in place, but in the last few months, he has still not yet perfected his organs of governance. It is therefore impossible for these things to have come because Buhari has come into office.

“I want to in fact posit that President Goodluck Jonathan in his belief that he was going to come in for a second term had already put these things into place and was expecting tell Nigerians if voted into power and say ‘ You can see the things I have done for you. I have restored power, I have increased production of petroleum products.”
