PDP Mocks APC: We Left Nigeria as Africa’s Top Economy

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has claimed that Nigeria was Africa’s top economy and the leading destination for foreign investment when it left power in 2015, accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of undoing the progress made during its administration.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, stated this during an interactive session with journalists on Wednesday, where he highlighted the contrast between the two parties’ records in government.

“We had an economy that was number one in Africa, and by the time the PDP left government in 2015, our economy was worth over $600 billion. Nigeria was the number one destination for foreign capital investment, and all of that has been rolled back in the last 10 years,” Ologunagba said.

He added that Nigerians are increasingly looking back with nostalgia at the PDP’s time in power, describing it as an era of democratic governance and economic development.

Ologunagba argued that the APC’s performance in government has fallen short, prompting citizens to reassess the two parties’ impact on national development.

He described the PDP as a party that upholds democratic principles, respects internal rules, and promotes open dialogue.

The PDP spokesman also emphasized the importance of the party’s upcoming national convention, saying it is crucial to sustaining democracy in Nigeria. He noted that Nigerians are closely watching the PDP’s activities to see how it organizes itself ahead of future elections.

“Nigerians, having experienced governance under both the PDP and APC, are now in a position to assess which party has delivered better for the country,” he added.
