Sen. Olamilekan Adeola (Lagos West) on Saturday urged Nigerians to reject the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019, saying the party has nothing to offer the country.
Speaking with journalists at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat in Ikeja, Adeola said the PDP lacked the vision to govern the country.
He noted that the 16 years of PDP in power was a waste as they did little or nothing to improve the lots of Nigerians.
Adeola said the All Progressives Congress (APC) had put the country on the path of progress in the last few years, and would achieve much more in 2019.
“Nigerians should reject the PDP in 2019; they have nothing to offer. They were in power for 16years and they achieved nothing.
“in fact the three years of the APC administration are better than the years of PDP in power. It was 16 wasted years. PDP is a failure, they should be rejected,” he said.
The senator said one particular step that pointed to what he called the ineptitude of the PDP was the way they privatised the power sector.
Adeola alleged that the PDP sold power assets to friends and fronts all in the name of privatisation.
He said the hangover of the problem was still with the country till date.
The senator said electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) foisted on the country had done little to add value to the power sector, and Nigeria would be better with replacements.
Adeola said he had acquitted himself remarkably well as senator representing Lagos West.
