The Peoples Democratic Party has called on
President Muhammadu Buhari to leave office
immediately.
But before quitting, the former ruling party asked
the President to return the country to how he met
it when he assumed office on May 29, 2015.
Spokesperson and a member of the party’s
National Caretaker Committee, Prince Dayo
Adeyeye, stated this in a statement he signed in
Abuja on Wednesday.

The former minister of state for works said that his
party was not happy with the state of affairs in the
country.
He specifically mentioned the statement credited
to the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun
that, “recession is a word”.
Adeyeye said, “Is this statement as a result of
ignorance, lack of patriotism or in-line with
President Buhari’s comment that his ministers are
noise makers?


“For the record, recession is characterised as a
period of negative economic growth for two
consecutive quarters, given rise to high rate of
unemployment, fall in output, increase in
government borrowing, etc.
“Following this understanding, Nigeria’s economy
is already near depression. The crass ineptitude
and lukewarm-attitude of this All Progressives
Congress government is no longer tolerable, and
therefore, we are calling on President Buhari and
his team to return Nigeria to its state of booming
economy before they assumed office in May, 2015,
and then quit immediately to allow other capable
leaders recover our ailing economy”.
Adeyeye alleged that about three airlines, local and
international, and some banks, have allegedly
suspended operations and sent their staff on
indefinite leave due to poor state of the Nigeria’s
economy.
He said that Nigerians were aware that the PDP
government invested heavily in most of the
nation’s airports, an action he said resulted to
alleged ‘facelift’ and improved operations through
remodelling, construction of new airports,
refurbishing and equipping of the local and
international airports to meet best practices in the
aviation industry.
