The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has told President Muhammadu Buhari that the victory of the Golden Eaglets at the FIFA U-17 World Cup clearly indicates that the nation’s youths are endowed with talents and should be encouraged to excel.
Describing the feat as a bold response by the Nigerian youth to the series of “uninspiring and negative utterances and actions of President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government,” the party accused the current administration of refusing to acknowledge the potentials of the nation’s youths.
The main opposition party, in a statement issued on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh held that, “The victory is a clear demonstration that Nigeria, as a country is endowed with enormous talents and potentials waiting to be exhibited to the entire world.
“The victory further expressed the resilient spirit of Nigerians despite a discouraging government that has not only shown an obvious inability to chart a clear course of governance and the future of the youth, but also refused to acknowledge the potentials in its citizens.
“The time has come for us to dwell less on our negatives but to showcase the positives, the talents and indeed the natural resources waiting to be harnessed and exhibited for foreign investments and participation in our economy.
“Finally, the PDP states that this victory should be a wake up call on President Muhammadu Buhari to recognise the hardworking spirit of Nigerians, our overflowing talents and well-developed natural endowments,” the statement concluded.
