The All Progressives Congress, APC, said it is only God that has the capacity to solve the loads of problems confronting the nation in record time......Read The Full Article>>.....Read The Full Article>>
APC asserted this on the back of censure that trailed President Bola Tinubu’s nationwide broadcast on Sunday bordering on the ongoing hunger protest.
Replying the critics through its National Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, the ruling party hit back at those tearing into Tinubu’s speech saying, “Even if we don’t say kudos to the President for what he has done, he doesn’t deserve condemnation. We should appreciate what he has done. When you look at the opening part of his broadcast, the President said he was speaking with a “heavy heart.” I don’t know if the problem is that people don’t understand English or they simply are expecting leaders to play God.
“The problems of Nigeria cannot be addressed in 30 minutes. The President’s nationwide broadcast was less than 30 minutes and he talked on so many issues. It is only God who can address the problems of Nigeria in probably less than 30 seconds. No human being can do that. Anyway, I am not expecting anything different from the opposition or expect them to show appreciation. This is because the man in question has beaten them at the poll, in the court and public opinion survey.
“Therefore, the only thing they can do is to cast aspersions and condemnation on what is being done. But instead, he has taken the responsibility as a champion to lead the country by example.
What else do they want him to do?
Opposition in developed democracy is to play constructive criticism, not destructive and reckless ones. But here, they don’t see anything good. Yet, Nigerians gave them a chance to show their competence for 16 years. Rather, they proved to be incompetent. They were the ones that put the country where it is today.”
