Wike's PDP Faction Demands Accountability from Tinubu

The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has rejected claims by President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) that previous administrations are responsible for Nigeria's current hunger and economic hardship. In a statement by National Publicity Secretary Jungudo Mohammed, the PDP accused the APC of evading responsibility for rising food prices, unemployment, and declining purchasing power.

This response followed comments from APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka, who blamed the PDP for the nation's economic difficulties. The Wike-backed faction urged the APC to stop the blame game and focus on providing solutions, emphasizing that Nigerians deserve clear answers on how the government plans to address food security, job creation, and other pressing issues.

Mohammed acknowledged some achievements of the Tinubu administration but cautioned that this should not be seen as an endorsement of all policies or an acceptance of responsibility for current economic challenges.
