Focus on solution, Murray-Bruce tells APC

The senator representing Bayelsa-East senatorial district, Ben Murray-Bruce, has slammed the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party for trading blames over national problems.

The senator said both parties were wasting time by criticising each other and thereby ignoring the solution.

Murray-Bruce, in a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle, said both parties should be busy seeking solutions to the fall of the naira and other economic challenges rather than engaging in constant criticism that would not solve any problem.

He said, “Both the PDP and the APC should stop the blame game. Don’t blame your opponent. Name your solution or die a natural death.

“Instead of both parties pointing accusing fingers at each other, let them point to solutions to lead us out of our economic mess where $1 now equals N260. If one has no shame, the other has no solution. The economy is dying while they exchange insults. Grow up! Nigeria is greater than parties.”

The senator said the Federal Government should not spend too much time responding to criticisms but should show Nigerians that it can live up to its responsibilities.

He said by constantly reacting to the PDP’s accusations, the APC was leaving the business of governance to the opposition.

Murray-Bruce, who is a member of the PDP, called on other senators to support his two bills which he claimed would guarantee constant power supply in the country and an efficient security system.

He added, “A government shouldn’t be reactive. Government is a demonstration of power, not talk. Otherwise, you would be in government and be governed by the opposition. If we weren’t busy finding fault, we could get solutions with the same intellect it takes to make ingenious excuses for failure.”
