Executive Secretary of the Nigerian National Summit Group, Tony Uranta, has berated President Muhammadu Buhari for claiming responsibility for successes done by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Speaking during an interview with Daily Independent, Uranta accused the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for being responsible for Jonathan’s defeat in the Saturday, March 28, 2015 presidential election.
Reacting to claims by the PDP that the APC was taking credit for Jonathan’s achievement, Uranta said the same PDP leaders behind his (Jonathan’s) defeat.
He enthused thus: “The PDP failed Jonathan woefully as most of his enemies were in his own party. And most of the people that dug the hole that he fell into were his party leaders. I am not in the least interested in what PDP said.
“For example, refineries have come into action. Nobody in his sane mind can attribute that to the best intentions of president Buhari. Power has stabilized to a great extent.
“We all know that not only has Buhari not yet put a minister of power in place, but in the last few months, he has still not yet perfected his organs of governance. It is, therefore, impossible for these things to have come because Buhari has come into office.
“I want to in fact posit that President Goodluck Jonathan in his belief that he was going to come in for a second term had already put these things into place and was expecting to tell Nigerians if voted into power: ‘You can see the things I have done for you. I have restored power, I have increased production of petroleum products.”
