APC Has Lost People’s Confidence, Sets To Crash – Tambuwal

GOVERNOR Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State has said that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, will collapse because it has lost focus and confidence of the citizenry.

The Governor further said that the decision of the Sokoto State chapter of the APC to boycott the March 27 local government elections in the state did not come to him as a surprise as the party had lost confidence and mandate of the electorate nation- wide.

According to Sources, Lagos and Ondo state chapters of the APC, in a quick counter lampooned Tambuwal saying that he was living in self-delusion and playing to the gallery. Efforts to get the national leadership of the APC to speak on the issue did not yield dividends. Secretary of the Caretaker Committee, Senator John James Akpan-Udoedehe could not take his calls and was yet to reply text messages as of press time.

De Erudite Media Team also learnt that Tambuwal while speaking to supporters of PDP during the Flag-off of Sokoto East Senatorial Zone campaign at Gwadabawa town in preparation for the council poll, said the APC-led Federal Government has failed to deliver or execute any meaningful developmental project since it came to power.

According to him, Nigerians would no longer support APC and as such it would collapse and its members would dissolve into other political parties. The governor used the occasion to appeal to Sokoto people to support and cooperate with security agents in their quest to provide security in all areas of the state.

Responding to Tambuwal, Publicity Secretary of Lagos APC, Mr. Seye Oladejo, said the governor is living in self-delusion. His words: “We believe Tambuwal indirectly predicted the fate of PDP as a political party as a result of its permanent implosion before the next national elections.

“Unfortunately, he won’t receive a prize for his pointblank prophesy because of the obvious crisis that is tearing PDP apart in the various zones and the mutual suspicion and the crisis of confidence among its national leaders. “The heart-warming performance of APC in different by-elections across the country and the increasing numbers on the floor of the National Assembly put a lie to Tambuwal’s assertion.

“However, I shouldn’t fault him for seeking comfort in self-delusion.”
