APC Slams PDP Over Criticism of President Tinubu’s Planned Visit to Nasarawa

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State has fiercely responded to the allegations made by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s planned visit to commission various projects in the state. According to the APC, the PDP’s claims of the projects being incomplete or previously commissioned by former President Muhammadu Buhari are nothing more than “blatant falsehood” and “propaganda.”

The PDP had accused Governor Abdullahi Sule’s administration of trying to mislead the president with uncompleted projects like the Shendam Road, the Lafia underpass bridge, and mass transit buses that had already been inaugurated by Buhari. However, in a sharp rebuttal, APC State Publicity Secretary, High Chief Douglas Otaru, described the PDP’s statements as “utterly ridiculous,” reaffirming that the ongoing projects are legitimate and indicative of the APC-led government’s commitment to improving Nasarawa’s infrastructure.

The APC’s response also highlighted that the PDP’s accusations were rooted in a series of false claims, including the suggestion that some vehicles coming from China were merely repainted in a warehouse in Abuja. Otaru dismissed these allegations, labeling the PDP as a “party on life support” and focusing on the positive impact the current government is having on the lives of Nasarawa residents.

This exchange between the APC and PDP reflects the ongoing political battles in Nasarawa ahead of President Tinubu’s visit. The president is expected to commission a number of key projects, including a newly completed secretariat complex, marking his second anniversary in office.

The APC’s stance is clear: despite the opposition’s baseless attacks, the party remains focused on delivering results and continuing the legacy of governance in Nasarawa State.
