A former Governor of Ekiti State, John Fayemi, has
apologised to the Nigerian people over the failures of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, over the years.
Fayemi, the immediate past governor of Ekiti state said the
APC has not done enough and has not been able to achieve “everything we
promised” the nation.
The APC chieftain, who briefly served as a minister under
the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, stated this on Channels
Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.
According to him, those who see themselves in leadership
positions, such as himself, should do better to move the country to a better
place.
“Oh, clearly, we all have reasons…we must apologize to the
Nigerian people. We have not succeeded in achieving everything we promised to
the Nigerian people.
“And that’s not just because we were incompetent, but
because there were other structural impediments that have made things more
difficult for us.
“But clearly we haven’t done enough to make life abundant
for the Nigerian people, and for that, I clearly would not hesitate to
apologize for that. We can do a lot more…”
The All Progressives Congress came into power in 2015 with
ex-President Buhari defeating the incumbent Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
government led by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Many Nigerians believe that things have changed for the
worse for them since the almost 10 years of the APC administration.
Buhari handed over to his party man and former Lagos State
governor, Bola Tinubu in May 2023.
Tinubu removed fuel subsidy on the very day of his swearing
in, an action that ultimately worsened the situation in the country, throwing
millions of Nigerians into abject poverty.
