The party pointed to President Tinubu’s admission in his speech that his administration was responsible for the current hardships in the country as validation of their position.

Lack of Solutions and Vision

The PDP expressed disappointment with President Tinubu’s speech, noting that it failed to provide concrete solutions to critical challenges facing the nation.

These challenges include security, the crisis in the electricity and petroleum sectors, and the continuous fall of the Naira against the Dollar.

The PDP argued that a serious government with vision and capacity would have presented a comprehensive plan to address these issues.

Economic Failures and Job Losses

The PDP further criticized the ill-planned policies of the current administration, stating that they led to a catastrophic economic failure with crippling effects on the productive sector and job losses.

Multinational companies exited the country, small and medium enterprises suffered, and the loss of jobs became widespread.

Lack of Reassurance on Security

President Tinubu’s speech was also criticized for its lack of reassurance regarding the security situation in the country.

The PDP pointed out that there was no mention of the mindless killings, abductions, and mass burials of citizens in various parts of the country under his watch.

Doubt Cast on Welfare Measures

Regarding President Tinubu’s welfare measures, the PDP expressed skepticism about the announced N25,000 per month for six months for average low-grade workers.

The party suggested that this could be a token gesture and raised concerns about the promised cash transfer programs to vulnerable households potentially serving as a conduit for corrupt practices within the APC.
