The national chairman of Labour Party (LP), Alhaji Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, has described the All Progressives Congress and its administration headed by Muhammadu Buhari as a failure.
Abdulsalam said the party had failed woefully since Buhari emerged as the country’s president.
The Punch reports that while speaking at a press conference in Abeokuta, Ogun state, Abdulsalam further accused Buhari of what he described as sectional appointment and development.
Noting that there was a terrible hunger everywhere in Nigeria, Abdulsalam also condemned the APC government over the recently constituted committee on new minimum wage arguing that salary increment cannot be feasible when many governors have not been able to pay salaries for months.
“APC has failed woefully. Let me tell you why APC failed. Buhari belongs to APC.
“Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his group belong to the Action Congress of Nigeria. Rochas Okorocha belongs to All Progressives Grand Alliance. Dr Ogbonaya Onu belongs to All Nigeria Peoples Party.
“So, you will discover that five political parties are operating independently. The other parties have been subjected to nothing.
“Only Congress for Progressive Change has been benefiting in sectional appointment and development, so to say.
“You can see now that Buhari is trying to mend fences with Tinubu. So, If I am to rate APC performance in Nigeria they won’t get more than five percent.
“When Buhari went to present 2018 Budget there were protests by the senators and members of House of Representatives and it took Saraki and Dogara some time to appease them.
“How could you have a budget for three years and you could not implement 20 per cent of the budget? Where is that done?
“In terms of healthcare delivery, they have performed woefully. If Buhari has headache, ear pain or nose, he would run to London. So, they have failed the country woefully.
“Everybody in this country today is hungry. There is hunger on the streets and there is anger on the faces of the people because APC has failed totally,” he said adding that the opposition party would not zone its governorship slot in Ogun state, would definitely win the election in 2019.
“We don’t support zoning here. That is what is killing the so-called big political parties. Anybody who comes and is acceptable to all of you and you elect him in the primaries, so be it,” he said.
