Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain and former Delta State gubernatorial aspirant, Sunny Onuesoke has compared the economy of Nigeria when it was being led by PDP to its state now under the All Progressive Congress, judging that Nigeria had a better economy under PDP.
According to him, “Under PDP, you had a government that listened, had rule of law and you could protest without fear. The cost of living was way better, unemployment was far lesser, insecurity was contained to an area, electricity supply and charges were way better.
“But today, you are dying yet can’t cry. You dare to cry, you end up behind bars. Egg of N20 now sells for N70-N80 naira. Indomie of N20 now sells for N80-N99. Pure water of N5 now sells for N20-N30. An electricity bill of N1, 500, is now N40, 000 with no light.”
Reacting to recent outburst by Transport Minister, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi against former President Goodluck Jonathan, Onuesoke said it was only an attempt to divert the people’s attention from the failure of this present administration.
Onuesoke wondered how it is possible that the money the ex-President left behind couldn’t sustain Nigerian for three weeks just as he queried where they saw money to sustain the economy for the past years.
He termed it embarrassing that a government that has ruled for two terms keep laying blames on a government that ruled for only one term, rather than stop the blame game and concentrate on fulfilling the promises they made to Nigerians.
The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, said the country would have been a better one without President Muhammadu Buhari
