Governor Kashim Shettima said the PDP bastardized Nigeria

Governor Kashim Shettima, the Borno state governor stated that the All Progressive Congress (APC) led government is rebuilding what the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had destroyed.

Shettima who doubles as the chairman of the Northern Nigeria Governors’ forum noted that Nigeria would have disintegrated if the PDP continued in power.

He stated this when he and governors of Niger State, Abubakar Bello and Jigawa State, Alhaji Badaru Abubakar visited Governor Rochas Okorocha in Owerri, the Imo state capital on Sunday, March 3.

Shetima said the fuel scarcity being experienced in the country would end in a couple of weeks, he disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari has put necessary machinery in place to get things right.

“The hiccups faced by the nation at the moment were expected, as the APC government is in the process of rebuilding the nation from the bastardized state it was left by the PDP.

“When PDP was misruling the country, the price of oil was hovering around 140 dollars per barrel. The price has now plummeted to less than 40 dollars per barrel.

“It is to the credit of President Buhari that the nation is still moving despite the decline in revenue. If the PDP had continued in power, the nation would have disintegrated.

He continued “The integrity of the president has earned Nigeria respect in the global community as corruption has reduced drastically and impunity is a thing of the past now.

“Nigerians should give President Buhari the benefit of doubt because he has shown sincerity in his de­sire to build a nation of our collective dreams and aspirations,”Shettima said.

He said the federal government has scored high in the fight against the Boko Haram terrorists adding that roads in the state have been opened for business.

In his response, Okorocha said there was enough evidence that Nigeria was almost going down the drain before the emergence of the APC government adding that God brought the party to save Nigeria from imminent collapse.

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party has zoned its presidential slot to the Northern part of the country ahead 2019 general elections.
