Former president Goodluck Jonathan has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Muhammadu Buhari as one that thrives on lies and propaganda.
Jonathan spoke in Abuja while receiving the campaign team of Professor Tunde Adeniran, one of the aspirants to the office of National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Jonathan said the solidarity being shown to the party even though it lost election at the centre in 2015, is a pointer that “there is still something in the PDP”.
He said “The PDP administration for 16 years did well and will continue to do well, but this administration has done nothing,” he said, adding that “they deployed propaganda and lies at a professional level.
“In the power sector, we did well to revive it. A state governor attacked our government saying that any serious government should be able to fix the power challenge within six months.
Today, APC has been in power for how many years now? Fortunately the then governor is in the APC government as a minister.”
Extolling Professor Adeniran’s qualities, Jonathan told PDP members not to forget that for the party to stand a chance to oust the APC in 2019, “we need a competent, reliable and a courageous national chairman who can lead the party to victory come 2019.”
