PDP Governors' meeting a waste of time - APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum meeting held in Ibadan, was a waste of time, with no substance.

Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, National Secretary APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

“Going by the communique issued by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors' Forum, at the end of its meeting on Monday, it is unfortunate that the PDP governors chose to engage in misplaced name-calling and abuses instead of seizing a golden opportunity provided by the meeting to offer meaningful and patriotic contributions on the review of the state of the Nation” he said

Akpanudoedehe said it was disappointing that the supposed PDP Governor's consultative meeting turned out to be a political jamboree and its outcomes a waste of time, with no substance.

He stressed that the efforts and records of the President Muhammadu Buhari government on revamping the economy, devolution of powers, upgrading the country's security architecture, governance and electoral reforms, addressing perennial farmers/herders clashes, public sector reforms is visible and unmatched.

Akpanudoedehe recalled that President Buhari on 20th May 2020 signed an executive order on implementation of financial autonomy of state legislature and state Judiciary which the same PDP governors have rejected.

He assured Nigerians that the Buhari-led government will continue to identify and partner with patriotic and well-meaning individuals and interests in our determined efforts to make the country better and address our challenges.
