The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has berated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for suggesting that government activities be shut down on May 29.

The PDP has criticised the government ‘s plans to mark the third year anniversary of the Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed-led administration.

The APC in a statement by its Publicity Secretary,  Sulyman Buhari, said the third year anniversary of the administration “is a necessary condition for sustaining our democracy”.

The party said the anniversary will afford Ahmed the opportunity to render account of his stewardship to the people.

It added: “Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed will also inaugurate five General Hospitals in Offa, Ilorin, Omu-Aran, Share and Kaiama; Obo-Ayegunle Water Works, the Agunjin Electrification Project, Isanlu-Isin- Ijara-Isin road, Tsaragi market road in Edu Local Government, Oro-Ijomu-Oro road, among other projects.

“The anniversary is not synonymous to the party held in Kano by PDP leaders, few hours after 75 Nigerians were killed in the first Nyanya bombing.

“We do not expect the opposition PDP, which has clearly shown dearth of understanding on administration of local governments, to either hail or give a fair assessment of the APC led government in Kwara State.

“It is wrong for PDP to chronicle its failures at the national level – just to suggest that government activities should be shut down.

“It is a grave disservice to Nigeria for the clueless PDP to seek to gain from the abduction of over 200 Chibok girls, when it took the Federal Government 22 days to inaugurate a committee to determine the whereabouts of the missing girls.

“The APC has proffered 10 solutions to insecurity to the apparently inept PDP led federal government and advocated a non bi-partisan approach, improved intelligence gathering, de-radicalisation strategy, peace building process and economic development plan to end the Boko Haram insurgency.

“Three years down the line, we salute the visionary and focused leadership of the Ahmed-led administration, its achievements in security, education, employment and empowerment, infrastructural development, just to mention a few, are highly laudable.”
