Your Infrastructural Developments Only On Paper – FG Blasts PDP

The Federal Government claims that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has outperformed the government of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP.

The remark was made by Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, during a town hall meeting on Thursday in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, to address the destruction of power and other infrastructures.

The PDP’s successes, according to the minister, are only on paper, and that they had better possibilities to do effectively during their rule when the country was doing well.

He said, “It is an irony that those who are criticizing us today performed abysmally in terms of modernizing our infrastructure, even when they served at a time when our earnings were multiples of what we get today.

“Had they embarked on the kind of infrastructure development we are currently engaged in, perhaps there would have been no reason for us to borrow as much as we are doing now.

“For example, in their time, they claimed to have spent billions of Naira in building infrastructure but, as one can see, their infrastructure projects were only on paper.

“Today, we are still saddled with looking for resources to build the same infrastructure for which they claimed to have allocated huge resources.

“We will not be deterred by the antics of those who believe they can play politics with everything”.
