The Peoples Democratic Party on Monday said
Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, misrepresented facts on the state of
the nation’s economy.
The party specifically faulted Osinbajo claim on the correct
status of the nation’s government debt stock.
It alleged that the misinterpretation was part of a ploy by the
incoming All Progressives Congress administration to discredit the PDP.
This was contained in a statement by the PDP National Publicity
Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh.
Metuh criticized the Vice President-elect for failing to be bold
and honest enough to also inform the nation that the bulk of the $63.7bn debt
was incurred by APC states.
He said, “It is indeed unfortunate that the Vice President-elect,
who has the details of the debt stock, chose to be economical with the truth
and to mislead Nigerians just to discredit the current PDP-led administration
and rationalize APC’s unpreparedness for governance.
“Prof. Osinbajo is aware that the $63.7bn is made up of external
and domestic debts belonging not only to the Federal Government but to federal
and state governments and accumulating since the 1960s. Yet, he deliberately
misrepresented the facts to give the unsuspecting public the impression that
the amount was exclusively incurred by the current Federal Government.
