PDP challenges opposition on Jonathan’s achievements

By Lawrence Olaoye

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday challenged the opposition parties to an open debate on the achievements recorded by President Goodluck Jonathan’s regime.

The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, said it noted the spirited moves mad by the opposition on its alert that there were attempts by some unpatriotic people to frustrate Jonathan’s administration by sponsoring insurgency in the country.

The statement read in part, “We wish to state categorically that we stand by our statement and restate our commendation to President Goodluck Jonathan for remaining undaunted and posting unprecedented achievements for the benefit of all Nigerians against all odds.

“It is an incontrovertible fact that Nigerians have witnessed a just and equitable allocation and distribution of resources and infrastructure across the entire zones under the present PDP-led administration and this is due to the forthrightness of the President and his vigorous application of his Transformation Agenda which has touched every segment of our national life.

“This is in spite of the enormous resources that have been channeled towards the fight against insurgency unleashed by the enemies of our dear country.

We challenge the opposition to a debate on the achievements of the PDP-led administration on zone by zone and sector by sector basis. The facts are there and the achievements are visible.”
