The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rubbished the January 1, 2021 nationwide address by President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians, saying it was empty and directionless.
The opposition party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan declared the address as a confirmation that Nigeria has finally become “leaderless.”

Ologbondiyan wondered how the President was only able to offer a “regurgitated script full of lame excuses and empty promises that address nothing” to a troubled and frustrated nation on New Year Day.
The statement reads in part;
“As a President, Buhari has not demonstrated the capacity to play his own part, as he claimed, having failed to find a solution for the security and economic challenges that pervade our nation under his incompetent and lethargic watch.
“The myriads of lame excuses in Mr. President’s address again underline our national misfortune of weak leadership that is unable to resolutely confront and vanquish bandits, terrorists, kidnappers and vandals who are now holding our nation hostage, ravaging our communities, kidnapping and beheading our compatriots without restrain.
“The least Nigerians expected from Mr. President, in the New Year, was a decisive will to tackle our security challenges by reviewing his parade and heeding the demands by Nigerians to rejig our nation’s security architecture.”
