National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, yesterday, said it would be difficult for Nigeria to survive another four years under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, if things continued the way they were in the country, saying there were several unanswered questions in the last governorship election in Ekiti.
Oyegun, who spoke in Benin City, said his party decided to concede victory to the PDP in the governorship election in Ekiti State because it did not want anything that could make the people react negatively and violently.
He, however, hinted that the party would challenge the trampling on the fundamental human rights of the members before, during and after the election.
Urging Nigerians to embrace APC as the new party with a different agenda to fix Nigeria, he said: “We are presenting our party as new, and different. We have done the studies as people who truly care. There is no way we can prove it to you because we have never ruled this country, but we can tell you to look at our states. We are not pretending to be angels. Politics is not a seminary, neither is it the Papacy, but what is important is what one is doing with the lives of the people. That is what is critical.
“Are you restoring hopes to their lives are you making their lives better? If not for themselves, do they believe that the lives of their children will be better? Are your policies concentrated on improving their lives? Are the sectors working in the interest of the ordinary Nigeria? Do we have power, do we have quality schools, do we have security, and do we have jobs? Can we continue in this kind of state? I have told people who are ready to listen that this country cannot survive another four years of PDP administration. There is no way it can survive it, so we need people who have plans to start taking care of these issues, and that is what the APC represents.”
Ekiti poll
He claimed that many persons who had no business in Ekiti State were allowed into the state while those with concrete reasons to be there were denied entry, insisting that was what the party would challenge.
“Ekiti election, to some extent is still a mystery. It still has aspects that we are trying to unfold but the first point is, because we are a party of change, because we are a party that wants to show Nigerians that there is a different way of doing things, that the party doesn’t have to be bitter, in-spite of all our reservations, the governor was advised to concede, inspite of our reservations for a lot of reasons,” he added.

ReplyDeleteStupid man. Nigeria cannot survive another four years under PDP because your party and their evil elements had vow to continue throwing bombs and sponsoring insurgency as long as Goodluck is in that seat. Your evil will surely find you out.
ReplyDeleteStupid man. Nigeria will not survive another four years under PDP because your party and their evil elements have vowed to continue throwing bombs and keep sponsoring insurgency as long as Goodluck remain in that seat. Is there any better way of making the state ungovernable for him as you devils promised him even before he warn the election. Your evil will surely find you out FOOLS.
ReplyDeleteNigeria will survive more than four years when we have the right leaders. Who made up the bulk of current APC? Are they not virus carrying elements from PDP? We need a dispensation of new leaders from a third party, Not PDP and neither is it APC. PDP and APC are the problems of Nigeria.
