The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of attempting to claim credit for the construction of a new terminal building at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, which was commissioned yesterday, Thursday, December 20.
The party in a statement through its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said Buhari in a bid to increase his ratings ahead of the 2019 Presidential election, engaged in a media stunt by trying to claim credit for a project his administration made no contribution towards funding and execution.
“It was derisory to see Mr. President and his handlers, comically swaggering and gleefully hugging the cameras at the commissioning of a project they made no contribution,” the PDP said.
“If anything, like the Port Harcourt Airport terminal building, President Buhari, in his flops, only succeeded in delaying the completion of the project, which concept and construction was perfected by the PDP, including payments to the contractors.”
The party said the current administration cannot point to any key development project it had initiated and executed since its inauguration in 2015, despite the huge resources its disposal.
The PDP stated that it was aware that President Buhari administration is desperate to validate its performance indices and that is why it has resorted to laying claim to projects
