The party says 'the statement is a violent assault on the sensibility of Nigerians and demonstrates the disdain with which the Buhari administration holds our citizens.'

The main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party has called for the resignation of the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, over his comments on the condition of roads in Nigeria.“The roads are not as bad as they are often portrayed. I know that this is going to be your headline, but the roads are not that bad,” he told journalists after the FEC meeting in Abuja on Wednesday.

A member of the House of Representatives and House Committee on works, Bamidele Salam, had earlier challenged the Minister to a 90-day road tour of the country to see how deplorable the roads have become.Meanwhile, the party asked the APC to stop dwelling on its 16 years of rule and deliver it promises to Nigerians. The APC constantly accuses the opposition party of not ruling the nation well while it held sway between 1999 and 2015.
