PDP Criticizes Nigerian Government Over $9m US PR Contract

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized the Nigerian government for awarding a $9 million public relations and lobbying contract to the US-based firm, DCI Group. The PDP expressed concerns over the lack of transparency and effectiveness in government communication strategies, questioning the decision to engage a foreign lobbying firm.

The contract renewal and the choice of a private law firm over the Ministry of Justice have raised suspicions about the government's communication management. The PDP urged President Bola Tinubu to prioritize the safety of Nigerians and address insecurity issues rather than relying on deceptive communication tactics.
