Buhari has done nothing better, PDP tells Jonathan as he celebrates his 59th Birthday

Former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

The Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has congratulated former President Goodluck Jonathan as he celebrates 59 years on earth while counting his blessings.

However, the PDP said that President Muhammadu Buhari has done nothing better since he assumed office on May 29, 2015. 

According to the Spokesman of the PDP Caretaker Committee, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, in a congratulatory message to Jonathan, ‎said the electoral reforms for free, fair and credible elections for which the All Progressives Congress (APC ) rode to power has been eroded by the present administration.

He argued that instead of consolidating on the electoral reforms made by Jonathan, the APC has replaced it with inconclusive elections, electoral apathy, voter inducement, intimidation, harassment and unfair incarceration of judges and squeezing of opposition members at all levels by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

 "Your Excellency Sir, in less than two years of leaving office, Nigerians are yearning and crying for your return especially as your successor who won the 2015 presidential election on the altar of propaganda and lies against your administration has done no better since he took over from you on May 29, 2015.

 "This reversal of your achievements is also visible in all sectors of our economy as the vibrant and largest economy you left behind in May 2015 is today in great recession and near depression.

 "This is your 59th Birthday Anniversary, and so let us allow you celebrate rather than bothering you with the sick and comatose state of our economy," the party said.
