A chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has
stated that Saturday’s Federal House of Representatives by-elections held in
Katsina, Kwara and Bauchi States was an indication to the popular acceptance of
the APC and the rejection of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, by Nigerians.
According to Eze, the outcome of
the by-elections was a parable to the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki,
and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, that their
political reign had come to an end.
Eze, a former Spokesperson of the
defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said this in a statement he signed
and issued on Thursday.
Eze, who is also a former ally of
the duo National Assembly leaders, noted that the by-elections, held on the eve
of the upcoming general elections, was a divine instruction, intended to emphasize
that the APC had come to change Nigeria for good.
He said the victory also indicate
that those who used to determine the destinies of millions of Nigerians
negatively will no longer have access to public offices as the people are now
free to reject them without consequences.
By-elections were held on Saturday
in Katsina, Kwara and Bauchi; the home states of President Muhammadu Buhari,
Senator Bukola Saraki and Hon Yakubu Dogara respectively and the polls were all
cleared by the APC.
Eze’s statement reads, “”Most
importantly the APC success in these states signifies the general acceptance of
President Muhammadu Buhari as the true leader of our present generation and
eclipse of the political careers of some political heavyweights like the Senate
President, Dr Bukola Saraki and Speaker, House of Representatives, Barr Yakubu
Dogara who recently decamped from the ruling APC to PDP whose notoriety and
looting of our common patrimony with impunity led to most of the economic
challenges currently facing Nigeria.
“The All Progressives Congress
(APC) convincingly won the by-election into the Kankiya/Kusada/Ingawa federal
constituency seat of Katsina State; Toro Federal Constituency of Bauchi State
and that of /lrepodun/Isin/Oke-Ero federal constituency of Kwara State while in
Katsina, the APC candidate Abubakar Kusada polled 48,518 votes beating his
closest rival, the PDP candidate, Abdussamad Abdullah, who polled 20, 193
votes.
“APC also through Alhaji Yusuf
Nuhu, won the by-election in Toro Federal Constituency of Bauchi having scored
a total vote of 22,317 to lead his close rival of the PDP candidate, Alhaji
Shehu Buba who polled 18,235 votes to come second. In Kwara the APC’s candidate
Olawuyi scored 21,236 votes to beat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
candidate, Saheed Alatise who polled 18,095 votes.
“This demonstrates, not minding
all the PDP propaganda, that the electorate was still enthusiastic about APC
and the President Buhar’s administration. What the people of Bauchi and Kwara
have done to both Barr Dogara and Dr Saraki respectively is that they are going
to be politically buried come February 2019 and I am sure that both Saraki and
Dogara would be politically retired by the good people of Kwara and Bauchi for
having poorly represented their people and frustrated most of the good programs
of the APC administration.”
He, however, congratulated the
people of Katsina, Bauchi and Kwara states for once again demonstrating that
there are truly patriotic Nigerians, saying “kudos to the Minster of
Information and the current political leader of Kwara State, Lai Mohammed and
the entire Kwara people for freeing themselves from Saraki who have enslaved
them all these years, mis-mismanaged their economic and political rights over
the years.
“I urge Nigerians to continue to
support and keep faith with the administration of President Buhari as he is on
a divine mission to make Nigeria the great nation that God has destined her to
be.”
