The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) Bauchi State Chapter has called on the people of Bauchi State to be vigilant and not be swayed by the ongoing verbal fracas between the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
The PRP in the state noted that the members of both parties are birds of a feather that flock together and easily change camp in pursuit of their personal interests, prioritizing their pocket interests over public interests.
The party in a statement on Sunday by its state secretary, Abdulazeez Haruna, said “they are the same people who have failed to bring meaningful development to the state, and have instead engaged in white elephant projects and embezzlement of public funds without transparency or accountability”.
The electorate in Bauchi will on Saturday, August 17 go to the polls to elect new chairmen and councilors in the 20 local government areas in the state.
The PDP and APC while embarking on campaigns have accused each other of wrongdoings, with each claiming it will win majority of the seats in the coming LG elections.
Speaking further, the Bauchi PRP stated that “Under the current PDP government, Bauchi State has experienced unprecedented hardship, with hunger and poverty being the major problems facing the people. Despite having the opportunity to make a difference, the PDP government has failed to deliver on its promises, and has instead focused on pocketing public funds without transparency or accountability.
“Similarly, the APC government at the federal level has also failed to bring any significant development to the state except suffering through the adoption of anti-masses policies and brazen peculation of public funds. In fact, most of the current APC leaders were previously members of PDP and have only changed camps in search of personal gain, demonstrating their lack of integrity.
“The PRP Bauchi State Chapter urges the people of Bauchi State to reject these selfish and self-centred politicians who have no intention of helping them. We must know them for who they are, and not be swayed by their empty promises and false rhetoric”.
Haruna however, claimed the “PRP stands committed to protecting and promoting the interests of the people of Bauchi State with honesty, integrity, and transparency. We believe that it is time for a new approach to governance, one that prioritises the needs and aspirations of the people over personal interests.
“We urge the people of Bauchi State to join us in this struggle for a better future. Together, we can build a brighter tomorrow for our state”.
