Nigeria’s opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto state has blamed Nigeria’s current economic downturn on the ‘immaturity’ of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Kabiru Aliyu, the state secretary of the PDP stated this on Monday, April 17, 2017.

Aliyu blamed the ‘poor performance’ of the APC-led government on the immature relationship between the executive and legislature.

He said: “Should the Senate and the Presidency be insensitive to the plight of the people and continue with the selfish fight among themselves? This is an act of immaturity. They do not have the people at heart.

“We expected the leadership of APC to take control of their ego by maintaining a smooth relationship between all arms of government, especially the legislature and the executive.

“The failure of the party to ensure this means that it is not in control. It has become a divided party.

“Nigerians are disillusioned by the poor performance of the APC administration across all levels of governments.

“People are suffering and in spite of the hope and trust that they had on this administration, they have been betrayed. Nothing has changed,” the PDP spokesman declared.
