Mr Chibuke Ameachi, Minister for Transportation and Director General
(DG) of Buhari Campaign Organisation, has said the opposition People
Democratic Party (PDP) was responsible for the current challenges
Nigerians were passing through.
Ameachi said this at the flag-off of Gov. Simon Lalong’s re-election bid on Friday in Jos.
According
to him, the hunger, poverty and under-development being faced in the
country was because PDP diverted huge monies meant for the public into
private use in its 16-year rule.
“If today Nigerians are hungry,
it is because in its 16-year rule, the PDP stole monies meant for
development of critical sectors of the economy.
“For 16 years, they gave us 3, 000 mega watts of electricity, today the current administration produces 7,000 mega watts.
“Because
they diverted huge public funds, we were importing rice, but today the
story is different and our local farmers are smiling to the banks.
“So, PDP is full of dishonest people and that is why they stole all our money,” he said.
Ameachi,
the immediate past governor of Rivers State, noted that to address
poverty, hunger and under-development, the present government is working
in that regard.
He urged Plateau residents to vote President
Mohammadu Buhari, and Lalong for a second term, adding that the
forthcoming polls would be a tussle between the “greedy rich versus the
poor masses”.
