PDP lied on leaving $550bn economy - BMO

President Muhammadu BuharI. [Presidency]

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not leave behind a 550billion dollar economy when it lost power to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015.

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) said in a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke that the claim by the party’s leaders is at variance with facts on ground.

“While we know that PDP elements are used to pulling numbers from the air, we did not expect that they would cook up figures on the state of the economy in May 2015 to deceive Nigerians.

“It all began in December last year with former Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka dropping the cooked figure on PDP-era economy, before governors elected on the party platform jumped on it.

“Now it is surprising that the PDP Chairman Iyorchia Ayu who postures as an academic has also jumped on the bandwagon when he could have put his research skills into use.
