The Peoples Democratic Party has sent a congratulatory message to the victorious Golden Eaglets for the Sunday’s World Cup victory.
The main opposition party described their victory over Mali as a bold statement by the Nigerian youths against series of, what it called, an uninspiring and negative utterances and actions of President Muhammadu Buhari, which it said had been de-marketing the nation in the international arena.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, in a statement in Abuja on Monday, said the victory was a clear demonstration that Nigeria, as a country “is endowed with enormous talents and potentials waiting to be exhibited to the entire world.”
Metuh said the victory further expresses 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.
According to him, “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 Buhari to recognise the hardworking spirit of Nigerians, our overflowing talents and well-developed natural endowments.”
