The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Tuesday, described the list of Ministerial nominees released by President Muhammadu Buhari as colourless and inspiring no hope in Nigerians.

In a statement issued via its verified Twitter handle, the party said that the list showed the regard in which the President and his All Progressives Congress, APC, hold Nigerians.

It said: “President Muhammadu Buhari’s Ministerial list presented to the Senate today is colourless, stagnant, uninspiring and do not convey any sense of hope or purposeful governance under the APC. 

“The party says that to the chagrin and utter disappointment of Nigerians, the list is replete with incompetent individuals who failed in their erstwhile Ministerial assignments and left their Ministries in a shambles.

“Indeed, such a Ministerial list can only come from a Leadership that does not have mandate of the people. It is a complete waste of time and cannot fulfil the expectation of Nigerians.

“The list has further shown President Buhari and APC‘s insensitivity and disdain for Nigerians and it does not in any way reflect their hope and eagerness for a better Nigeria.

“Furthermore, in recycling failed yesterday’s men for today’s assignment, President Buhari and the APC have left no one in doubt that they have no vision to move our nation out of the economic and security predicaments into which they have plunged us in the last four years.

“A committed and responsive Leadership would have widely consulted with Nigerians before compiling a ministerial list, given the current situation in the country.

“If, indeed, President Buhari and the APC mean well for Nigerians and are interested in revamping our critical sectors, they would not have ended up with a list of those who will help conceal the huge corruption in the Buhari administration in the last four years, as well as those who will assist in channeling funds to individuals and groups used by the  APC to rig the 2019 Presidential election.

“Strangely, the list has no space for the youths demography, those to whom the future is said to belong.

“The  PDP holds that with this development, it is clear that the only way our nation can come out of our present economic and security quandary lies in the retrieval of Atiku’s stolen Presidential mandate at the Tribunal,” the statement ended.
