The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, CNPP, has said that the policies of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have been a toxic mix of incompetence, corruption, and callous disregard for human life.
CNPP stated this on Sunday in a press statement, while slamming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent broadcast.
The president had on Sunday morning addressed Nigerians in a nationwide broadcast, promising to roll out palliatives that will address the current economic challenges.
Signed by the CNPP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, James Ezema, the statement, according to the leadership of the conference, is a “grossly inadequate response” to the widespread protests sweeping the nation.
Describing the President’s address as a “masterclass in evasion, obfuscation, and blame-shifting,” they expressed concern at the alleged failure of President Tinubu to address the core issues driving the protests.
CNPP also criticised the President’s silence on concrete measures to alleviate the suffering caused by the removal of petrol subsidies.
“The President’s silence on acceptable measures to alleviate the people’s suffering is deafening,” CNPP stated.
The conference also condemned the APC government’s decision to float the naira without a full cabinet in place.
“It has exacerbated the economic chaos, leaving Nigerians to bear the brunt of the administration’s incompetence,” it stated.
CNPP added: “APC policies have been a toxic mix of incompetence, corruption, and callous disregard for human life.”
It also criticised opposition parties for their alleged failure to provide a united front against the APC’s misrule, stressing the need for them (opposition parties) to checkmate the ruling party.
“It is time for opposition politicians to stop hiding behind press releases and take to the streets to lead the protests against the government’s pain-inflicting policies or speak no more.”
