"PDP Looted Our Collective Destiny, Jobs, Prospects" - Fashola Says

The Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola SAN, on Monday blamed the Peoples Democratic Party for abandoned Federal Government projects across the country. He stated this while inspecting the building project of the Federal Secretariat, Awka, Anambra State.

He described corruption during the PDP era as monumental, adding, “They looted our collective destiny, prospects, jobs and so on.

“That’s why the masses are suffering today. That’s why there are no jobs. But we (APC) are trying to bring back smiles on the faces of Nigerians.”

He said the 18-kilometre Umunya axis of the Onitsha/Enugu Expressway would be completed in May 2019, while the Federal Secretariat,  Awka, the state capital, would  be completed in the first quarter of next year. Fashola said the President Muhammadu Buhari government inherited those projects because past governments failed to complete them as a result of corruption.

“They awarded the contract without paying contractors and when you don’t pay contractors, you create problems down the labour ladder.

“For instance, the contract for this federal secretariat was awarded in 2012 by the previous administration without making funds available for its completion. If the money meant for it was not stolen, it would have been completed before now.

“We are bringing back what was denied the people in the past to them; that’s the difference between a development administration and a corrupt regime”, the minister stated.

He is really annoying. Pdp is 100% far better than APC. How many companies folded during pdp? Was there Mass sacking of employees in different sectors? How much did pdp borrow? Yet we can see their handy works. Please creep back into the same hole you came out from. Just so annoying. It's only gullible nigerians that keeps listening to APC trash talks on how bad pdp was.
