All Progressives Congress (APC) Chieftain Senator Alex Kadiri who represented Kogi East senatorial district from 1999 to 2003 has asked the party to apologise to Nigerians for having failed the people that voted for them in 2015 and again in 2019.
“We should not provoke the people to a point when they will react and that is a precursor to revolution.
“APC should ask Nigerians for forgiveness and leave the space let another party or any other person come. We cannot recycle any of those in the present Government.
“Any Government that is in power with all the spate of killings, kidnapping going on, has no right to ask for another mandate.
“I don’t have the right to go back to my constituency to ask that they vote for APC, I will be lynched. I would also not want a situation where my Party will get involved in thuggery or use of the military services to get power.
“The spate of killings, spate of insecurity, the spate of lack, a country where we produce crude oil how many hours one spend to buy fuel in a car?
“A country where we have refineries, whether they are producing or not, where we import refined products, yet we pay subsidy, which Buhari earlier said does not exist but is now paying in multiples. A country that is indebted, the debt we have today our great grand children will have to pay.
On whether he can say APC has failed, he said.
“Well if those of us from within the party are honest, in other climes nobody will vote for APC at the next election.
“Look at what is happening in the UK, Boris Yesin is doing very well over COVID-19, over Ukraine over BREXIT but because he did not obey simple rule of not partying during COVID the system want him out.
“There is going to be a vote of confidence against him, he may win but they have weakened him already. Why can’t we develop and do such a thing.
“They slaughtered people in Owo inside a church on a Sunday, what could be their offence
This is the same thing Ortom is suffering in Benue, is it because the Governor made a law against indiscriminate grazing.
“But Akeredolu, you cannot fight for your father’s throne if you are not a great person. What he did to drive them out was an act of bravery.
“If this is one of the repercussion, then it shows you that we don’t have a country where none state actors are deciding the fate of everybody. It is wrong.
“APC my Party must accept that things have gone out of control, we cannot control anything anymore, so why do we want to come back, why would people vote us back into power?
“No electricity, universities are under lock and key, no healthcare, no fuel to run our tickets vehicles, all the roads are death traps. This country must move a step forward.
“I shed tears watching CNN this morning, they show the massacre in Owo. As an adult watching all these and my Governor is helpless and they still want to come back.
