A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Kogi State, Mohammed Usman has criticised the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for lacking the vision to move the country forward.

Usman who stated this on Monday at his formal declaration of intent to contest the office of the National Publicity Secretary (NPS) in the December 9 elective national convention of the PDP, added that thus far, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has “demonstrated no actions but national neglect, greed and division,” in the governance of the Nigerian State.

The aspirant charged members and supporters of the party to hold the administration accountable, noting that what the PDP needs is a functional publicity division capable of evaluating the non-performance of the APC, thus “making them increasingly unattractive to the electorate in 2019.”

“One of the pressing responsibilities of this office is to hold, and continue to hold the APC government to its campaign promises which clearly they are unable to fulfil. I need your support to recreate a new and vibrant publicity machinery in the PDP which will bravely confront and distort the newly contrived corruption and organized graft that the APC has institutionalized in Nigeria.”

He promised amongst others, the “fostering of strategic media partnership with electronic, print and digital media organization” and the “Convening of a PDP annual media week/interactive session to evaluate and publicize the achievements” of political office holders elected on the platform of the party.
