The immediate past Secretary to Katsina State Government, Dr. Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa has said that unless drastic measures to address the prevalent insecurity and hunger in the country are taken before the 2023 general elections, the ruling All Progressives Congress APC will suffer worse defeat than the Peoples Democratic Party experienced in 2015.

According to Inuwa, Nigerians, particularly from the Northwest are unhappy with the APC ruling party for the past seven years for failing to meet, in the least, the high expectations of citizens who voted for them against all odds in 2015.

The former SSG who disclosed this in an exclusive interview with Vanguard on Wednesday said the situation is quite unfortunate with cost of living on a steady increase and sources of income diminishing daily. He noted that the situation has made it more difficult for people to fend for themselves and their family.

Inuwa said: [b]“I interact with people on a daily basis in my house and in my office. Honestly, people are not happy with APC as a party and government both at state and national level. This is the truth.

I was past Chairman of the APC. I served as secretary to the governor (Aminu Masari) for over seven years. So naturally, I should want APC to succeed but the truth is, it is unfortunInuwa said: “I interact with people on a daily basis in my house and in my office. Honestly, people are not happy with APC as a party and government both at state and national level.
So naturally, I should want APC to succeed but the truth is, it is unfortunate really.

When APC came in as a government, there were a lot of expectations by the people. In fact, I would say unrealistic expectations. Many people believed that with PDP out and APC in, all problems were considered solved but unfortunately APC as a government experienced a lot of challenges.

Some internal, some global, especially issues to do with revenue. We relied largely on what we generated from the sales of oil and the price kept coming down.
“The issue of insecurity also persist especially in Northwest, North Central and to some extent, southern parts of the country. These affected personal commercial activities of our people. 

So honestly, APC was not fortunate. A lot of things turned out contrarily to what people expected. So, people are not happy.

“The life now, almost everything increases by three to four folds when you come to cost of living. Take for instance, the cost of a bag of rice, when we came on board, I think the 50kg bag was sold for about N8,000 per bag but now it is being sold at N33,000 in this area and at about N40,000 in Abuja axis. So, this is the same in almost every aspect.

“The sources of income have also gone down and people are not even getting money to buy things any more. It is one thing for cost of things to be high and people can afford it and it is another thing when things are high and unaffordable. So many people honestly live without food; they can’t take their children to school and can’t attend to their health challenges.

“All our commitments have become in many cases impossible to meet and the issue is even worst especially in this part of the country. In Katsina and other states in the northwest people have lost hope in the government and the security agencies to tackle the situation.

“So, honestly, people are not happy and unless of course something radical, something serious happens especially to do with this issue of insecurity, high cost of living from now till election, it will be extremely difficult for  for APC to win.”

However, contrary to expectations, the party has failed to impress and had instead plunged the citizens into more challenges. Under the APC government, many Nigerians have been battling hunger, insecurity and economic challenges hence there is a drastic need to address these challenges if the APC wants to win next year’s election

I interact with people on a daily basis..Honestly, people are not happy with APC as a party and government both at state and national level. This is the truth. I was past Chairman of the APC. I served as secretary to the governor (Aminu Masari) for over seven years. So naturally, I should want APC to succeed but the truth is, it is unfortunate really.

“So, honestly, people are not happy and unless of course something radical, something serious happens especially to do with this issue of insecurity, high cost of living from now till election, it will be extremely difficult for  for APC to win.”

This is a major chieftain of the APC in Buhari home state of Kastina talking. This is the reality Tinubu and his miscreants are joking with.

We biafrans don't want Tinubu , we can never move from rotten egg to bad egg

Without mincing words, APC has not only failed in its promises, but it has engineered a retrogression of the country, especially in the areas of security and economy. There are disturbing statistics on fuel, debts, unemployment, inflation, insecurity and others.

The unemployment rate was 8.19% in 2015 when APC took over, but now it is 33.3%. A US dollar is exchanged at N720 in the parallel market now. It was N198 in 2015. While the country’s debt status was N9.8 trillion in 2015, it stands at N41.6 trillion and the list is endless.

Tinubu’s APC cannot say Nigeria is fine under its rule, and Nigerians are waiting for the ruling party at the polls, and it is the party that Tinubu formed as a platform to achieve his lifelong ambition

These are the extent of damage that the APC has wrecked and Tinubu is using the same platform for his campaigns. It is with keen interest that the Nigerian people await the campaigns to commence. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/09/tinubu-apc-and-the-hurdle-of-aggrieved-nigerian-youths/

Fixed.
Let Nigerians decide.
Citizens of online country have no business with who becomes Nigeria president.

LeoDeKing:

Funny how zombidients now hinge their hopes on comments by abokki.

I thought pandora hoebi's imaginary success is because all Nigerians love him due to the "huge success" recorded during his tenure as governor of Anambra state.

Besides, know it now, abboki can never vote Emeka.

But for the the winner between Atiku and Tinubu, only Nigerians will decide and that isn't the business of citizens of online country.

zombieHUNTER:


As expected,
No sense
No substance
Nothing upstairs to contribute aside tribalism, religious bigotry and name calling..

bloody liars and con men chanting change

LeoDeKing:

Okay, go search for another abokki or one random Yoruba comment and upload again.
Pandora hoebi's success is based on those comments, not that he isn't a blockhead who is not qualified to be a primary school monitor.

lhordspy:
Lol.
Mr INUWA is a former kastina SSG.
Not even a SSG to the fed. Gov. Or former.
Not even a Governor, or a fomer.
Not even a Vice Governor or a former.
Not even a Vice President or a former.
Not even a President or a former.
A man who couldnt win a simple APC gubernatorial primary of a state, out of defeat he shamelessly started romancing with PDP and resorts to wailing endlessly about how bad APC government is. The same APC he just lost a gubernatorial primary election.
There is deference between analysing poilitics and crying. This right here is premium tears.
Cry me a river, baby.

We Nigerians will decide who takes over from Buhari in February 2023.

And it is between Atiku and Tinubu, but for now, we are more interested in voting Tinubu because of his past as the governor of Lagos State.

Asiwaju did excellently well.
