Abuja-Kaduna rail: The only work done by APC, Buhari was the commissioning – Adeyeye

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has claimed that the Abuja-Kaduna rail project was conceived, awarded, constructed by the PDP administrations that have led the country, adding that all that the All Progressives Congress, APC, government of President Muhammadu Buhari did was the commissioning.

The party further accused Buhari and the APC of claiming to have achieved a project which was a total effort of the PDP. This was part of a statement issued yesterday by the spokesman of the party’s National Caretaker Committee , Dayo Adeyeye.

He said the commissioned standard gauge rail line was “conceptualised by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, and successive PDP administrations of President Umaru Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan commenced work and built the project to 99 percent completion.” “The only work done by President Muhammadu Buhari on the project was yesterday’s commissioning,” read the statement.

“The truth, which history will bear out, is that the PDP in its 16 years of rule successfully completed numerous projects that substantively changed the infrastructural landscape of Nigeria.

“Every one of those 16 years were years of great productivity with remarkable landmark achievements. This is very much unlike the APC which has already wasted one full year without even scratching one square meter of ground anywhere in the country.”
