FG’s Transformation Agenda Has Deformed Nigeria – Governor Oshiomhole

Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has described the transformation agenda of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration as one which had failed to make any meaningful impact on Nigerians and the country.

Governor Oshiomhole, who spoke after a road walk tagged “March for Buhari” in the New Benin area of the state capital on Monday, ‎said rather than meet the aspirations of Nigerians for 16 years, in various sectors of the economy, the Peoples Democratic Party had “deformed the country.”

He also challenged those who wanted continuity with the present federal government and explained what the All Progressives Congress desired change stands for.

He said, “What are the issues? We have two items on the menu chart: one group insists that they want continuity; they even insist that Nigeria has been transformed and we have another group of people who say that Nigeria needs change, change to a better future.

“Now people are asking, ‘What is the content of this change? What are we changing to, what are we changing from and, like those who want continuity, transformation, what have we transformed?’‎ For those that say they want continuity, what is it we want to continue with? For 16 years, PDP failed to deliver on one of the most fundamental issues in the Nigerian economy – the issue of power supply.

“Without power supply, nothing will work. Who wants us to continue in the dark? Are they saying we should continue living in darkness? NEPA does not give you light for months and yet they ask you, a democratic country, a free country, to pay fixed charges even when they deliver fixed darkness. Who says we should continue with this condition?”

He also decried the continuous importation of petroleum products and the sale of Kerosene beyond N50‎, even when, according to him, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation had created a subsidy for the product.
