In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said it is now logical to conclude that at this point, there is absolutely no hope for Nigeria and her citizens under this capricious government.
”A government that is unwilling to take any responsibility for anything, and one that is unwilling to recognize that its raison d’etre is to ensure the welfare and security of its citizens has simply abdicated its responsibility, and should not be counted upon to do all that is necessary to rescue the over 200 girls who were abducted under its watch,” it said.
APC said the insurgents who have inflicted so much pain on the nation would not have succeeded as much as they have if the government had believed – in the first instance – that it had any responsibility to the people, in which case it would have taken its responsibility very seriously instead of engaging in its pastime – blame game!
”If the Jonathan-led government is right, then anytime a country suffers from deadly flooding, for example, the people should rather blame the sea or the sea goddess instead of looking up to their government for succour. If the Jonathan-led government is right, then the US, Britain France, China as well as the UN, which have all been asking the government to do more to secure the homeland, are wrong and do not understand the concept of governance. Certainly, there is a problem somewhere,” the party said.
Meanwhile, the APC has said it will neither be browbeaten nor blackmailed into abdicating its own responsibility as a virile opposition party by keeping quiet even as the government continues on the dangerous path of running the nation aground.
”There seems to be a grand plot by the Jonathan Administration to silence all criticisms and sweep all ongoing corruption investigations and government incompetence under the carpet under the guise of uniting to fight terrorism.
”This is fraudulent as President Jonathan is only trying to profit from his own corruption and incompetence. While we are ready to partner with the Administration and join all Nigerians in the fight against terrorism, especially in efforts to ensure the safe return of the missing girls, we refuse to be cowed or tricked into submission and allow the looting of our resources and the bad governance to continue unchallenged.
”A government that is quick to accuse others of failing to sympathize with the victims of the insurgency that it had allowed to fester has no qualms campaigning aggressively for a second term of office for a President who has made a failure of his first term. A government that rushes to the media to condemn even an INEC-sanctioned rally, rather than the illegal rallies it engages in, has no shame running a daily advert, under the guise of the hitherto unknown Protectors of Nigerian Posterity, thus showing no respect for the mood of the nation.
”If the Jonathan and the PDP want to be taken seriously, they should ask their campaigners to apply the brakes out of respect for the mood of the nation. They should try to make a success of their yet-unfinished term of office before even seeking another.
”President Jonathan and the PDP cannot continue with their campaigns and then continue to blackmail us into keeping quiet. If anyone is exploiting the national tragedy, it is Jonathan and the PDP. If anyone is politicizing the insurgency, it is Jonathan and the PDP! Thankfully, Nigerians are aware of this double-standard of this feckless, clueless and incompetent federal government,” the party said.

ReplyDeleteYou bastard idiot since you already said its our money (south south) they are looting so why worry, why does it bother you and how does it concern you. If I steal my own money why are u the one drinking panadol? GEJ's govt is very commendable take it or leave it. Take a good look at the standards of our airports now and compare with before, take a good look at the federal roads now and before (benin/ore). The electricity is improving. ask your farmers in the north the big help or push he has rendered to them. useless goat I can go on and on since you are blind, may u be deaf as well. let thunder strike you and your generation unborn fool
DeleteSome ppl will just open dia mouth n talk, if u hve nt see anything good in dis gov. Dat mean u re blind n tell me wot apc hve done in getting back our girls fool. For apc i will advise u to join hand with pdp to bring back peace to dis country
ReplyDeleteY is this Mallam with this last post vexing? U r sure part of this bloody northerners that wants to grab power by force framing up GEJ through boko haram and covering up under APC. Bt ur plans won't work because we know this: all the boko haram sponsors are all APC members. Bye. Nobody is saying GEJ and south south ain't corrupt, but corruption has no comparison with terrorism. Infact if I am to say they all should just die from APC to PDP to APGA; give chance to fresh leaders not archaic scraps we have in government presently.
ReplyDeleteWhen will Nigerian politicians learn how to play politics? You don't neccesarily need to slander your opponents to get the position. You must understand that as a patriotic Nigerian,you must demonstrate your patriotism by respecting the mandate given to someone else. I am not a politician but if APC continues with this method of criticism of the present government, then so many people like me will not vote or support them. Jonathan may have his faults or weak points just like all men do,but he has accomplished more than so many of our past leaders. If you intend to do more than him,then you've got to wait until you get there. Are you aware he met 2500MW in d power sector,& today he has added 2000MW making 4500MW. And he hasn't stopped. Have you ever stopped to calculate the total number of roads projects either refurbished or constructed newly during his tenure,compared to those done by previous govts? My friend Nigerians are no more as ignorant as you think. If you don't spend more of your time making efforts to convince us you'll do better than Jonathan's government & telling us how you intend to achieve this,presenting very plausible thesis,then forget it,we'll vote Jonathan again even all the terrorists worldwide converge in Nigeria in 2015. Don't forget when we observe you are involving yourselves in activities that undermine the success of the present govt,we'll be left with no option but to consider you as an enemy to our democracy, therefore you may not likely get our votes. TAKE NOTE!
ReplyDeleteLier Mohammed again! You are fooling yourself not Nigerians
ReplyDeleteNorth make ur money and stop making trouble with our money. Anyhow we spend am no concern you. Infact every Niger Deltan should be paid 1million naira every month so that you people can hang urself or you vex go get ur resources. We don tire for the union. We are also suffering becos of u guys. After Jonathan let the country divide. Let's see what you will fight for. Jonathan is even trying to develop ur area with our money. As u see nothing good in dis administration, no need to do any project in ur area again and u people can develop urside with ur resources as you go ur way.
ReplyDeleteSorry my fellow country people, but I need answer to this simple question, who is coming out under the so call APC? The only way u APC can win is to bring Somebody from south, west or middle but if its from the north, PDP remain the best option.if una like make una go kill unaself, BUNCH OF FOOLSM
