The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has challenged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari, saying the Nigerian under 17 – Golden Eaglets’ victory in Chile was a slap on the present administration, as it maintains, the feat was achieved despite the incumbent President alleged “De-Marketing” statements and affronts on the younger generation.

PDP in a statement issued Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, asserted that 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.

It said: “the victory further expresseddthe 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.
“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.
The opposition directed that the victory should be a wake-up call on President Buhari to recognize the hardworking spirit of Nigerians, “our overflowing talents and well-developed natural endowments”.
