Buhari Govt Rudderless, Inept And Incompetent – New APC Faction (R-APC)
BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – A new faction within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), with the name REDEEMED-APC has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration of running a rudderless, inept and incompetent government that has failed to deliver good governance to the Nigerian people.
The R-APC also stressed that the APC administration has instead imposed dictatorship, impunity, abuse of power, complete abdication of constitutional and statutory responsibilities, infidelity to the rule of law and constitutionalism.
The faction led by Engr Buba Galadima, a founding member of the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari former political ally, said the new Party is to be known as and called REFORMED-APC (R-APC), adding that members of the group are the patriotic elements and the original founders of the Party that have found themselves in the opposing side of the charade.
Galadima told journalists at a press conference in Abuja that members of the ruling APC are sad to report that after more than three years of governance, their hopes have been betrayed and expectations completely dashed.
The National Chairman of the R-APC said the ruling APC Galadima further said; “It has failed to ensure the security and welfare of our people and elevated nepotism to unacceptable height. The APC has failed to deliver on its key promises to the nation. There is no evidence of any political will to reverse the decline of our party, while leaders who have created these circumstances continue to behave as if Nigerians owe our party votes as a matter of right.
“The APC government, has been a monumental disaster, even worse than the government it replaced. The political party that was a vehicle for enthroning the government was rendered powerless by manipulations and complete lack of due process in its operations.”
Galadima said that the R-APC includes all the progressive forces in APC, including most of the leading members of the defunct nPDP, CPC, ANPP, ACN and others, adding that the faction will work with like-minded political parties and groups to offer Nigeria qualitative good governance in 2019.
He further said; “Nigeria faces an existential threat arising from three years of near destruction of this country and the exacerbation of our ethnic, religious and divisive cleavages. We will in concert with others offer real change to Nigeria. Not fake change.
“It is clear that our party needs a leadership that will live by its founding ideals. We have therefore decided to legitimately lead those members to work to rebuild our nation more firmly on genuine democratic principles, to enshrine good governance and restore the faith of Nigerians in the possibility of the existence of a prosperous, secure and peaceful nation,” Galadima stressed.
