You are ignorant of the workings of the Presidency, APC slams PDP

For deriding the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government, the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), on Sunday, gave it back to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in a way it did not expect as it described as ignorant of the workings of the Presidency the former ruling party that many Nigerians, in spite of everything, have publicly declared as a big failure despite its continued transformation promises for the 16 years it laid its hands on the rulership of Nigeria.

Describing as an opinion the PDP’s call on the Muhammadu Buhari Administration to accept the challenges in the oil sector as a failure on its part, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the former ruling party, whose government’s monumental corruption of the past continues to be revealed, lacked understanding of the workings of the Presidency.

Abdullahi said: “It is their opinion since they think they know better how to run the Presidency. Are they saying the President does not have the power to appoint himself as Minister or what are they saying?

“That is the only thing they can think of as solution.  Are they saying the only solution is for the President to step down? That is absolutely their opinion. What they are saying demonstrates ignorance of presidential authority.

“The presidential power is vested by the constitution on only one person and that is the President of Nigeria. The President is not obliged to listen to them.”
