2023: It’s Only In Nigeria That APC Can Ask For Votes After A Complete Failure – Adebanjo, Afenifere Leader
Posted by Thandiubani on Thu 14th Jul, 2022 - tori.ngAdebanjo on Wednesday said the APC lacked the credibility to ask Nigerians for their votes again after eight years of disaster.
Leader of pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo has asked Nigerians not to vote for the All progressives Congress in the 2023 presidential election.
According to him, a party that has completely failed Nigerians should not be allowed to continue ruling the country in 2023.
Adebanjo spoke during an interview on Arise TV on Wednesday.
He said the APC lacked the credibility to ask Nigerians for their votes again after eight years of disaster.
He said, “What could be the reaction of APC, what credit has the APC got to come back to Nigerians again to say they should vote for them?
“It’s only in a country like that the APC will have the effrontery to come and ask Nigerians to vote for them after eight years of disaster, on what record? For the security they have given us? For the improvements of our infrastructure? For the improvements of our economy? On what measure of governance can they say they have a claim to be elected?
“The case of APC is mountainous for rejection, they have no cause to show their face at all, they are a complete failure and this country will be unwise to after I warned them not to vote for Buhari to go again for another Buhari party.
“What have they done to recommend them? is it your naira that has improved? Can you travel on your road? Can you sleep with your eyes twice closed? The security situation is worsening day by day.”
Speaking on the rotational presidency which led to controversies ahead of the presidential primaries of the ruling APC and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he said the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, did not have to contest again after past futile attempts to become the President.
He further stated that it is not the right of the southwesterners to lay claim to the presidency after producing a President for eight years and a Vice President for eight years.
“Atiku’s case is very simple, he did not have the right to come back again after eight years, just as I’m opposed to Tinubu for many reasons. It’s not the right of the south westerners to come and claim presidency.
“If you want peace in Nigeria, if you want equity and justice, if you want to be united, we are talking of rotation, you’re talking of federal character; it has gone to the north down to the south, should it come to the south with the same region that has had it with Obasanjo for eight years?
“Yemi Osinbajo with eight years as Vice President, south-south has had it with (Goodluck) Jonathan, is South-East not part of Nigeria?
“Anything that will cause disharmony, I’m against it. Those who are talking now are just talking about politics of convenience, politics of dollars and naira.”
“Any supporter of non-Igbo extraction to be president of Nigeria now, it’s not their privilege, it’s a constitutional right if you want peace and quiet in this country,” he added.
Pa Adebanjo said it is the lack of justice and equity that’s giving rise to agitations in the southern part of the country.
“It is the lack of justice under this constitution that’s giving rise to agitation be it IPOB (Indigenous People of Biafra), (Sunday) Igboho, be it anybody. If there’s no equity in any organization, there will be no peace,” he said.
He described Peter Obi as the candidate of Nigerians fed up with Buhari’s administration.
