From Wole Balogun, Ado Ekiti

MINISTER of Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)  is not a credible alternative to the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Nigerians in the 2019 presidential election

Fayemi, who is also the former governor of Ekiti State listed the gains of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in the past three years in the saddle alleged that PDP’s plan to reclaim power in 2019 is a plot to continue to loot the country. He urged Nigerians not to use the current fuel scarcity to rate President Buhari’s performances.

“What we are witnessing is just a normal curve in the life of any administration. We will get over it and move on, but largely the president has not disappointed Nigerians.”

The minister described the panel of inquiry inaugurated by Governor Ayodele Fayose to probe his administration as a kangaroo one.

He added that it was an attempt to smear his reputation and render him unpopular by the PDP-led administration.

“They started with the probe of N852 million UBEC fund and when they knew they could not go far, they started concocting lies and said I looted N17 billion,” he said.

Addressing newsmen in Isan Ekiti in Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State yesterday, Fayemi said Nigerians would ensure that PDP did not return to power because of the high level of looting it perpetrated while in the saddle.
