A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and
governorship aspirant in Ekiti State, Hon. Bamidele Faparusi, has said
that the release of 82 of the captured Chibok Girls by Boko Haram
insurgents further confirm that President Muhammadu Buhari has not reneged
on his electoral promises to Nigerians.
He also condemned the statement credited to the factional
Caretaker Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Ahmed
Makarfi, lambasting the APC-led federal government for releasing some
BokoHaram detainees to bail out the girls from confinement.
Faparusi maintained that the comment, which he described as
caustic and inflammatory lent credence to the widespread belief that
the PDP was incorrigibly insensitive and callous to lead Nigeria.
He advised Makarfi to look inward and contrive ways to resolve the hydra-headed
intra-party squabbles that were tearing the party into shreds, rather than
making comments that would expose his naivety and callowness on issues of
governance.
The APC chieftain spoke in a statement he made available to
newsmen in Ado Ekiti , on Monday.
Faparusi, a member of the seventh House of Representatives,
said assurances of security for all, particularly the release of the
237 captured girls formed the APC’s cardinal electoral campaign
during the 2015 poll, saying translating the promises into
actions signposted that the party has not failed the country.
Faparusi said the hapless girls would have been rescued long
ago from Boko Haram captors, if the immediate past government of
President Goodluck Jonathan, had exhibited the political will
President Buhari brought to fore in dealing with insecurity in Nigeria.
“Electoral promises are like a social contract that needed to be honoured. In the countdown to the 2015 general elections, President Buhari hinged his campaign on two things, Corruption and insecurity.
“The APC government is virulently pursuing its anti-graft war and the litany of discoveries by EFCC about the looted funds by PDP Chieftains corroborated the fact that the war has been effective and well prosecuted unlike under PDP when there was looting spree causing Nigeria a rickety economy.
“When President Buhari came on board, the release of the girls from Sambisa forest looks bleak because of the scenario painted by the inept government of President Jonathan. But today, the parents of these girls are beginning to see a ray of hope that there would be a reunion with their daughters someday.
“I want to salute the Federal Government for living up to expectation. Meeting the people’s expectations often reinforced their belief in government and imbue their sense of patriotism. With this release, Nigerians wherever they live can be proud that they have a responsible and responsive government in place that is ready to secure the lives of its citizens”.
Faparusi , however, described as unfortunate , the comment
made by Makarfi lambasting the FG for swapping the girls with some Boko
Haram
detainees.
He said: “This shows that the PDP has no lesson to learn despite its abysmal crash in 2015 elections. The party is insensitive to the plights of Nigerians and what Makarfi did was evidence that the PDP is a party that will never succumb to moral and political rectitude.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
“The question to ask Makarfi and his ilk is that, would he have said this if his daughter was a victim? The PDP should stop playing dirty politics and come to realization that Nigerians can no longer be deluded by their antics, which nearly ruined Nigeria’s economy in the 16 years it was in the saddle”, Faparusi concluded.
