APC Has Failed to Deliver, PDP Will Bring Relief to Ondo People, Says Chieftain | Ondo Politics

Faro, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Akure, said that the party was positioned as a viable alternative, and ready to take the power from the All Progressives Congress (APC). He said that the party would address the economic concerns of the people, and provide a better future for residents and indigenes of the state.

Faro described the duo of Agboola Ajayi, the PDP candidate and his deputy candidate, Festus Akingbaso (popularly known as ‘Fessy West’), as the best team to salvage the state from the “current state of mismanagement, poverty and underdevelopment.” He said that the duo possessed the vision, expertise, and passion to restore the state’s lost glory and bring prosperity to the people.

Faro, a PDP aspirant for the Akure South/ Akure North Federal Constituency by-election in 2021, said that the current economic hardship faced by Nigerians would deter the people of the state from voting for the APC in future elections.

“The APC-led government has failed to deliver on its promises, leaving Nigerians to grapple with unprecedented hardship.

“The people of Ondo State, in particular, have been severely affected, and they will not forget this, come election time.

“We, in the PDP, are poised to offer a better alternative and bring succour to the people,” he said.

The PDP chieftain described the APC’s actions as a betrayal of trust, hurting the people of the state.

“The APC has broken the trust of the people, and it’s time for a change.

“We, in the PDP, are committed to addressing the economic concerns of the people and providing a better future for all Nigerians. We will not disappoint the people of Ondo State.

“As the 2024 governorship election approaches, there is a growing discontent among Nigerians, regarding the country’s economic situation,” he stated.

Alhaji Abdulmajid Dan Bilki Commander, a Kano-based chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has disclosed that campaigning for President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election was the biggest regret of his life.

Commander stressed that in his entire life, there has never been any decision he regretted so much than campaigning for the former Lagos State Governor.

According to the ruling party chieftain, the President has failed many Nigerians who voted for him in 2023, given the performance indicators available to every Nigerian.

Commander, who claimed to remain an active APC member, regretted dedicating his time and resources to convincing people to vote for the party.

“It pains me, but it is the truth, and let the truth be told. I am an active member of APC, but I must admit that Nigeria’s administration under APC has failed Nigerians, and as an individual who had dedicated his time and resources in convincing people to vote for the party, I want to state here that I am regretting my action,” he told Daily Trust.

The Kano politician also declared that he must seek their forgiveness as a representative of the masses, given that the APC-led government has not delivered on its promises.

Commander added that Nigerians are suffering, and their expectations from the APC government have not been met.

“Nigerians are hungry and angry. Their security not guaranteed and governance lopsided, they couldn’t afford two square meals per day,” he said.

Another Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member of the House of Representatives, Rep. Salisu Koko, who represents the Koko-Besse/Maiyama Constituency of Kebbi State, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Amos Magaji, representing Kaduna’s Zango Kataf/Jaba Federal Constituency, defected to the ruling APC during Tuesday’s plenary.

The Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, who made the announcement on the floor of the house during plenary in Abuja on Wednesday, told the APC caucus to welcome Koko as one of them.

Abbas quoted Koko as attributing his defection to the protracted crisis in the opposition PDP.

However, the Minority Leader, Rep. Kingsley Chinda, raised a point of order, saying there was no ‘protracted’ crisis in PDP.

Chinda urged the house to acknowledge the consequences of defection without compliance with the provisions of the constitution.

Supporting the minority leader, Rep. Ben Etanabene amplified what he called the consequences of the defection, which, according to him, included the lawmaker’s vacation from his seat.

The speaker, however, overruled the point order, saying that the house had no powers to implement such constitutional provisions.

He, therefore, urged the aggrieved lawmakers to approach the appropriate quarters to address the issue.
