Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has attributed the current
fuel scarcity to the mismanagement of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
after years of governance. Atiku who spoke to Journalists yesterday
after a private meeting with the President-Elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
at the Defence House in Abuja said that the hallmarks of PDP were
inefficiency and corruption, Vanguard reports.
He said that Buhari’s government would bring changes, but stressed it would be gradual.
“We just discussed private matters. Well, there is nothing unusual
in what is going on. That is PDP for you: corruption inefficiency and
what have you. Real changes will come. The president elect has assured
that but it will not just come over night. It has to be gradual.
Definitely there will be positive change in that matter but it will be
gradual”.
On the zoning of offices in the national assembly and the time it will be resolved, the former Vice President said “That
is too earlier. This is something the party and the leadership are
handling. I believe it would be resolved before the House reconvenes”.
However in a statement from his media officer, Atiku commended the
Nigerian military for rescuing some 293 women from Sambisa forest in
Borno state.
“While we rejoice in the rescue of the women and girls yesterday, we
urge that our military continues steadfastly in the operations until
all abducted Nigerians have been rescued and territories recaptured,” Atiku said.
Meanwhile, the former vice president also said that PDP-led Federal
Government adopted the wrong approach in tackling the power sector
crisis.
