The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) urges President Muhamamdu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo that cutting their salaries is not the only thing Nigerians are expecting from them.
The PDP states that Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), must strive to fulfil their campaign promises.
Chief Olisa Metuh, who is the PDP National Publicity Secretary, announced this in a statement on Tuesday.
The PDP said: “It is incontrovertible that instead of focusing on the promises you made to Nigerians and on policy thrusts that will move our economy forward, the ruling party has been made to be very high on propaganda, deceitful engagement and cosmetic governance.”
Metuh warned Buhari against celebrating what he called cosmetic governance.
“As the leader of the most populous black nation in the world, we believe you should not allow your Presidency to be pushed into the gimmicks of playing to the gallery and attempting to use the dramatisation of promissory notes and pledges by foreign interests, false and premature claims of victory against insurgency,” the party notes.
The statement said: “The dramatisation of salary cut and rejection of official cars, were done to gain cheap popularity and create an impression that the government is on course when in actual fact the new administration has not been able to locate its bearing since its inauguration in May.While we appreciate the symbolic gesture by Mr. President in ‘cutting’ his N14m annual basic salary by 50 per cent, it should be noted that Nigerians would not be swayed by the N7m annual donation and rejection of official cars, and forget their expectations for the implementation of his long list of campaign promises for which he was elected into office.”
