A group, the APC Advocacy and Appeasement Group, has labeled the new opposition coalition party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as nothing but a band of political failures seeking to hijack the voice of the people.
According to the group, virtually all the political giants in the ADC, have been discredited and disowned by their people.
This was made known on Friday by Dr Gambo Bala Iggi, at a press conference at Agura Hotel in the heart of Abuja, the nation’s capital city.
Iggi said the spectacular performance and unprecedented achievements of Mr President is glaring only the mischievous and desperate wannabes cannot see them. He went on to list the president’s achievements such as the local government autonomy, the NELFUND student loan scheme, the civil service reforms, the infrastructural restructuring scheme and the economic stabilization policies among others.
Iggi, said President Bola Tinubu is trying to restructure the economy to resolve contradictions caused by decades of mismanagement and misrule.
Iggi said, “The rise in fuel prices, transportation fares, youth unemployment, inflation of essential commodities, infrastructural stagnation, and economic pain are all direct consequences of years of misrulen between 2007 and 2003, a time when the very people forming today’s so – called coalition chamenionically invading ADC, were in positions of power”
“These people are not strangers, the are former Governors, Senators, Ministers, and top party stakeholders mainly from the PDP and APC, who shamelessly betrayed the trust Nigerians gave them, pillaging Local Government joint accounts in the name of coordination as well as other systemic abuses such as institutionalized nepotism, impunity, imposition and the subversion of internal party democracy, thus threatening the foundations of our democracy “.
Speaking further, Iggi said the group has developed a proposal tagged, “Presidential Taskforce on Poverty, Indiscipline and Indisposed Public Awareness, PTF-PIIPA, designed to assist the president easily actualize his second term ambition. That it contains strategies to gain more than 20 million votes for his re-election and break the potential opposition margin.
Iggi, however lamented the inability to get the proposal to President Tinubu.
“Your excellency, we suspect growing internal conspiracy against your second term sir. In the cause of getting the proposal to reach you we experienced uncomfortable frustration from your system protocol which failed to respond to the letter and the proposal sent directly to your office and through the offices of the SGF, COS, some ministers and many of your appointed aide since April 2024.
“The failures begins to store suspicions in our humble minds that some opposition eye is widely working inside your office “.
He also called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to tinker with the Implementation approach and strategy of the renewed hope initiatives and programs to ensure it reaches more Nigerians especially those at the grassroot and fringes of the Nigerian state, to enhance his popularity and chances of re-election at the next general election.
