……THAT APC FAILED NIGERIANS: POOR RHETORIC THAT DOESN’T RESONATE -STALWART
BY ADEWUMI ADEMIJU ADO EKITI
The Chairman of Consumer Protection Council of Nigeria (CPC))- Mr Babatunde Irukera has rebuffed the comment circulating in some circles , that the ruling All Progressives Congress APC has failed Nigerians .
Irukera who is also a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Said the basis by which Nigerians should assess the administration of President Muhammiodu Buhari is how he (Buhari) met the country and what he has done since the inception of his administration, he described the president as a committed and credible leader with modest characters.
The APC chieftain spoke with New Telegraph at a public function at Egbe community, Yagba West Local Government area of Kogi State.
Irukera who was once a governorship aspirant in the state advised politicians especially in APC to shun do or die affairs with politics of bitterness ,urged them to always embrace whoever emerges in an electoral contest.
The Consumer Protection Council Boss said
‘’I once contested for governorship in the state ,it was like a normal electoral contest in which somebody must emerged, we have a governor now, we have to work together, electoral process still continues , what is most important now is that, we have electoral cycle coming up , as we approached 2019 general election , we need to manage the process to ensure our candidate wins the election’’
‘’I don’t agree that APC has failed Nigerians, that poor rhetoric doesn’t resonate at all ,in the sense that there is a record of what this administration has accomplished , there is a record of where the administration inherited the country and what it has done ,that record makes me optimistic of APC electoral success.’’
As 2019 general election is fast approaching, Irukera urged President Buhari to use the element of his modesty to speak to Nigerians what his administration has accomplished ,just as he advised the electorates to look at the record in their course of assessment.
‘’I want to urge the electorates before making electoral choices to look at the past record, what the APC administration inherited, what it has achieved and not what people, write or say ,its really someone’s commitment , credibility and the record of the accomplishment that should define what the electoral choices would be ‘’Irukera said .
