APC Haunted by Buhari’s Performance CICERO/Report Not many Nigerians were convinced last week when a former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhol
Not many Nigerians were convinced last week when a former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress , Adams Oshiomhole, attempted to distance the presidential candidate of the party, Senator Bola Tinubu, from the lacklustre performance of President Muhammadu Buhari in the last seven years,The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress , Adams Oshiomhole, stirred controversy last week when he absolved the party’s presidential candidate, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, of the...
In 2007, he lost to another PDP candidate, the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. In 2011, he formed a new party, the Congress for Progressives Change , contested on its platform but lost to Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP. But ahead of the elections, the APC presidential candidate has come under fire on two fronts. While he is battling the key role he played in assisting Buhari to power, he is also facing criticisms for choosing a fellow Muslim and former Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.
Against this backdrop, many Nigerians have been wondering how the APC presidential candidate would convince the people to vote for the party given that President Buhari’s performance sheet is filled with red marks. More so, how will he reignite hope in his party without mentioning how he has contributed to the problems?
Many believe that Oshiomhole missed the point because during the party’s campaigns ahead of the primaries, Tinubu at a grand rally at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan in Lagos, promised Nigerians that he would deliver a united and banditry-free Nigeria if elected president. He told the gathered youths under the aegis of Progressive Youth of South-West who had declared their support for his presidential aspiration, that Nigerians were tired of excuses and lamentations of the past.
“More than 60 per cent of the population is below 30, a lot of them haven’t been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria is an oil-producing country, therefore, they should sit and do nothing, and get housing, healthcare, education free,” Buhari was quoted as saying at the conference.
