The All Progressives Congress on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari would not be distracted by those criticising his style of governance.
The APC said the distractions being orchestrated by certain persons in the polity would not deter the President from his determination “to rescue Nigeria from the clutches of those who are holding the country by the jugular.”
In a statement on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the ruling party said no opposition can succeed by dwelling on bare faced lies.
It advised the opposition parties that only good research, strict adherence to the truth and a focus on real issues rather than frivolities could make them relevant.
The party said, “The people, including fringe elements, who have frenetically engaged in fault-finding with the Buhari administration, are those who either have a skeleton in their cupboard or those who are acting at their behest, for a fee.
“These paranoid and skittish people daily run to the media to disparage the Buhari administration. Grasping at straws, they condemn and criticise everything from appointments to the war against corruption and the battle against insecurity, even though the party they belong had 16 years to make things right for Nigeria but chose to suck the country dry, enthrone insecurity and pauperise the citizenry.
“Their design is simple: Make enough incoherent noise in the media with the hope that the administration will be distracted. Unfortunately for them, they have failed in their evil machination.
“This President can neither be deterred nor be distracted.While their dogs continue to bark, the caravan of the Buhari administration proceeds on its steadfast journey.”
The APC further said it wondered how the APC-led Federal Government could be blamed for the refusal of the immediate past administration to adequately equip the military to confront the Boko Haram insurgency, “when even an appointee of the administration confessed that he was the head of a military that lacked the relevant equipment and motivation to fight insurgency.”
The APC said in less than three months of its existence, the Buhari administration started off on a strong footing in many areas, citing the fight against insurgency, the battle against corruption and the reorganisation of the oil sector as some of his achievements.
It added, “The Buhari government ensured the the bailout of many states that could not pay the salaries of their workers, the revival of the Nigerian dream. It has also resettled Nigeria’s diplomatic relations with the rest of the global community and the overdue clean-up of the Niger Delta region, which was shockingly ignored by a President from that region.
“What achievement is there for anyone to appropriate from an administration that will go down in history as the most rapacious, incompetent and clueless in the history of our nation?
“With its efforts in all the listed areas already attracting national and international acclaim, does it not beggar belief that the same Buhari administration would be accused by the apologists of the failed regime of appropriating their dubious achievements?”
