The Tinubu Media Group (TMSG) has revealed the hypocrisy of the PDP governors describing them as chichidodos, a mythical bird that hates excreta but feed on worms that live in faeces.

The group made the remarks on Sunday in Abuja following the governors’ comments on the Tinubu administration.

In a twist of irony, the PDP governors who had feasted on the enormous allocations being generated by the Tinubu administration have turned to accuse the same government of non – performance.

The TMSG, in a statement signed by its Chairman Emeka Nwankpa and Secretary Dapo Okubanjo, noted that the PDP governors statement was down to insincerity and smirks of being arrogantly sanctimonious. Non-performing governors like those of the PDP are a burden on the country, the group emphasised.

“The governors elected on the platform of the PDP are in no position to advice President Bola Tinubu on governance or rate his performance in office because none of them has done anything worthwhile with the improved revenue they had been getting since Tinubu assumed office in the last one year.

The group said: “Going through the communique issued by PDP governors on sundry national issues at the end of their meeting in Enugu, we were not surprised that they took pot shots at President Bola Tinubu who has over the years been the nemesis of their party even before his assumption of office.

“But we find it shameful that state governors, with little or no real performance to their names in spite of a quantum leap in public funds allocated to them in over one year, are pointing fingers of blame at the President.

“We consider this as an act of hypocrisy, but we also recognize that they have to play the politics of opposition, which in Nigeria denotes abuse or canvassing false narratives.

“Just like President Tinubu, we acknowledge that the twin policies of fuel subsidy removal and unification of multiple exchange rates as well as high cost of living globally have exacerbated the high cost of living in the country but, it has also led to improved allocations from the federation account to all tiers of government which these governors enjoy.

“Our question for this group of governors is,what have they been doing with the public funds at their disposal to the extent that they themselves have had to raise posers on the ability of subnationals to pay the new minimum wage?

” The Federal government has also been extending support to state governments, regardless of party affiliation, but there are no signs of massive infrastructure projects in many of the states that are commensurate with the funds the governors have been receiving.

“And lest we forget, some of these governors are presiding over oil-producing states which incidentally have the highest number of people living in multidimensional poverty even after years of receiving enormous allocations tied to resources.

“Yet these are governors who chose to “express dismay at the management of the economy” rather than sit down and engage in a sincere peer review mechanism that will enhance performance in their respective States.

TMSG also wondered what the PDP governors meant by the good old days of the former ruling party.

“We found it laughable that members of a party that presided over multiple oil boom eras with little to show for it could engage in a revisionist ploy to hoodwink gullible Nigerians.

“This is a political party which plundered Nigeria’s hard-earned resources and squandered its national patrimony for a period of 16 years and ring-fenced hundreds of state-owned companies and investments through an opaque privatization process.

“It is easy for PDP governors to play the populist card by bringing up price of food items and the pump price of fuel but Nigerians have not forgotten the massive diversion of oil revenue into private foreign bank accounts as well as
the deliberate neglect of public infrastructure in the face of huge revenue earnings.

Recalling what Information minister Mohammed Idris told PDP governors sometime in February this year,TMSG said listed the many achievements of President Bola Tinubu.

‘The President and his administration recognise the unfinished business of revamping our national economy kickstarted by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari,’’ the group referred to the minister as saying.

The minister said the government has achieved breakthrough in such programmes that focused on large-scale infrastructure, social welfare, prioritizing the equipping of, and welfare of the military and security agencies. So also is the reclaiming of Nigeria’s strategic place in the comity of nations.’’

He added that Boko Haram and its affiliates, which were on the ascendancy in 2014/2015, have since been decimated, and similar bold gains are now being made with bandits and other criminals.’

“If a 16-year period marked by those harsh realities were the good old days the PDP governors were referencing, then our message to them is, Never again,” the pro-Tinubu group added.
