Emmanuel Yisa Orker-Jev, a legislator for the Benue North-West Senatorial District, criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday for using flimsy justifications to hide its egregious failure.
Orker-Jev, who was a guest on the Channels Television programme Politics Today, claimed the incumbent party had broken its election-year pledges.
The PDP leader emphasised that the turmoil now affecting the main opposition party would soon be resolved.
He claimed the PDP would help Nigeria overcome its problems in the upcoming year.
The lawmaker said: “In 2015 elections when APC was campaigning to take over, it said the PDP had misgoverned Nigeria and that it’s going to right the wrongs. It promised to solve the problems of poor economy, corruption, insecurity and others.
“Now eight years down the line, what we have seen is excuses. They claimed that PDP ruled for 16 years and they only spent eight years. You made promises when you knew you’re not going to stay in power beyond eight years.
“The management of resources in this country isn’t properly done. This administration said the oil subsidy is a scam. Nearly eight years down the line, it’s still a scam. They talked about refineries, nothing has happened. There’s no basis for comparison.”
