PDP Campaign Accuses APC of Budget Manipulation, Fiscal Mismanagement in Response to Adeola
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign has intensified its criticism of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing the party of fiscal mismanagement and alleged budget manipulation while responding to recent remarks by APC leader and Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola.
In a statement, the PDP campaign alleged that the APC-led government has failed to manage the nation’s finances effectively, claiming that its economic policies have contributed to rising inflation, increased public debt and growing hardship among Nigerians. The opposition maintained that successive budgets under the APC administration have not translated into meaningful improvements in the living conditions of citizens.
The PDP also accused the ruling party of manipulating the budget process to serve political interests rather than addressing critical national development priorities. According to the campaign, public resources should be allocated transparently and directed toward infrastructure, healthcare, education, agriculture and job creation to deliver sustainable economic growth.
Responding to comments credited to Senator Adeola, the opposition insisted that attempts to defend the APC’s economic record cannot erase what it described as years of poor fiscal management. It urged Nigerians to critically assess the government’s performance based on economic indicators and the realities facing households and businesses across the country.
The latest exchange underscores the growing political rivalry between the APC and the PDP as preparations for future electoral contests continue. Both parties have continued to trade accusations over economic management, governance and public spending, with each seeking to convince Nigerians of its ability to deliver better leadership.
Political observers say the renewed war of words reflects the increasingly competitive political landscape, as major parties sharpen their messaging on issues of economic policy, accountability and national development ahead of the next election cycle.
