Buhari needs prayers to deliver, says PDP

After an evaluation of the first 30 days of President Muhammadu Buhari and All Progressives Congress’ administration, the Peoples Democratic Party says it has become obvious that Nigerians need to join hands in prayers to save the government from further inaction and dithering.

President Buhari assumed office on May 29, 2015.

The PDP said the call for prayers has become necessary given the fact that the Buhari administration is finding it difficult to locate its bearing and even take off and face the challenges of governance at the center.

It described the last 30 days when Buhari took over as “30 days of all motion and no movement.”

The former ruling party said this scenario does not augur well for the polity.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in a statement in Abuja on Sunday, said the enormity of the confusion surrounding the government and party in the last one month makes it imperative for Nigerians to pray as the success or failure of the Buhari administration will not only affect the President and his party but also the entire nation.

His statement said, “We urge Nigerians to join hands in prayers and offer useful suggestions to President Buhari and the APC because with what we have seen in the last 30 days, the present administration is finding it very difficult to get its bearings right while showing no inclination towards implementing its numerous campaign promises for which they were voted into office at the center.

“We are deeply worried that the President who promised to unveil his cabinet two weeks after his inauguration, has not been able to decide on key appointments such as ministers, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, a Chief of Staff and advisers in key sectors of the economy.
