The All Progressive Congress, APC, has recently issued a press statement admitting that the policies put in place by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have resulted in the country’s seemingly constant growth in economic hardship.
The admission was contained in a press statement released by Barrister Felix Morka, who is the party’s National Publicity Secretary, while responding to a former national vice chairman North West, of the party, Salihu Mohammed Lukman.
Mr. Lukman who had reportedly berated the party for bad governance, added that former President Muhammadu Buhari and incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have failed to deliver on their campaign promises to Nigerians.
Mr. Lukman, has urged the opposition leaders to unite, and work hard to defeat the APC led government in 2027.
in another development, Mr. Felix Morka, while reacting in a statement on Tuesday argued that President Tinubu was taking audacious measures to reset the country’s “long broken economy”, explaining that his reforms have increased economic hardship in the country.
According to the statement read , “The APC led administration of President Tinubu is taking bold measures to reset our country’s long broken economy, improve national security and restore the country to wholesome and sustainable development.
Mr. Morka went ahead to state that the effects of these reforms are the increased economic hardship Nigerians are currently facing. He also added that the reforms had to be done since the previous administrations have been unwilling to engage in them, in order to address underlying issues from their roots.
According to Mr. Morka, President Tinubu would have easily imitated his predecessors, but He has chosen a different path.
“It would be easy and painless for President Tinubu to do as his predecessors have done, continue business as usual, kick the can down the road for future administrations to deal with while the rot and stagnation fester.
“But in keeping with the renewed hope agenda of his administration, he has chosen to tackle the country’s generational economic problems for the good of present and future generations of Nigerians. In the fullness of time, this President shall be vindicated for his vision and unwavering commitment to the national interest and the common good of all.”
Meanwhile Mr. Morka also spoke on Lukman saying: “Salihu Lukman’s hunger for attention is insatiable. Not even his frenzied political soliloquy in self-adulation has proved sufficient to fill his bottomless obsession for attention.
“Since his exit as a National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress , APC, Lukman has been sleepless in search of political relevance. He seems to have found for himself, for now, a new role as the chief discordant trumpeter for a cacophonous political opposition,” Morka’s statement added.
