Saturday urged the Niger State Governor
Babangida Aliyu and his Jigawa State
counterpart, Sule Lamido of the Peoples
Democratic to keep their advice on how
best to run the country.
The party said the two governors were
not in a position to offer the incoming
government any piece of advice, adding
that they were part of those who tried to
resist change during the March 28 and
April 11 general elections.
In a statement issued in Lagos by its
National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai
Mohammed, the APC described the duo’s
advice as “ill-intentioned.”
APC said, “Nigerians have switched from
pre-election to post-election mode,
making the unsolicited advice and the
rehash of the vitriolic electioneering
campaign rhetoric from the two
governors totally out of tune with reality.
Our commitment to Nigeria is
sacrosanct, irrespective of the state of
the economy. Hence, we do not need any
cheeky advice from Governors Aliyu and
Lamido. We are not making any excuses,
but we will let Nigerians and indeed the
world know how much the economy has
been wrecked and the role of anyone in
bringing the economy to its knees.’’
The statement also accused the PDP
which the two governors belong of
dividing Nigeria along ethnic, religious
and regional lines, adding that the two
governors refused to join the APC when
it was leading the crusade for change.
“They made a wrong choice and lost out,
and they must live with the
consequences of their choice, instead of
continuing to snipe at some imaginary
enemies. The chance to be part of a
historic opportunity to rebuild Nigeria
was offered to the two governors on a
silver platter, but they chose to put their
personal interests above national
interest,” the party stated.
The APC stated further that despite the
state of the economy, it would redeem its
campaign promises.
However, it pointed out that the change
that Nigerians had voted for would not
come “overnight but through gradual,
painstaking and consistent acts of good
governance, discipline and
perseverance.”
It noted, “We are, therefore, calling on
our compatriots to give their unalloyed
support to the incoming administration
as it embarks on charting a new path for
the long-suffering nation, while
shunning the naysayers who, in their
own time, frittered away the opportunity
to rebuild Nigeria.’’
