The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted reacted to the advice by former military president, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida that Nigerians should vote out President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
Ibrahim Babangida, in a lengthy statement on Sunday listed reasons President Muhammadu Buhari should not bother returning to power in 2019.
Reacting, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi in a statement to the Nation said it will respond to the content of the letter if there is need to do so after studying it.
“I don’t have any comment because I have not read the letter. After reading it and there is the need to respond to it, I will do that.”
Similiarly, in a statement signed by its National secretary, Dr.James Okoroma, the Action Democratic Party aligned with the former President in appealing to President Buhari not to seek re-election in 2019.
Okoroma said the former President was, “clinical in his presentation by touching on the economy, pervasive insecurity, bloodletting across the country , devolution of powers, community Policing and restructuring.
“Babangida’s declaration that restructuring can no longer be wished away shows that there is hope for Nigeria. Those who thought that Buhari’s actions and segregation had the blessings of the entire North, can now heave a sigh of relief with a serious opposition coming from another Northern leader of Babangida’s status.”
“Babangida was one of those who fought to keep Nigeria one, he cannot keep quiet while Buhari destroys the country through divisive and nepotistic leadership. Today, we are losing our Country on a account of Buhari’s misrule which has set the Country backward.”
“Babangida’s advice that the war against Boko Haram be taken to the inner recesses of Sambisa Forest should be hidden.
“Babangida spoke as a Patriot. He offered solution to every problem he identified in his statement. He has spoken as one of the Fathers of modern Nigeria. The issues he has raised should engage the attention of all Patriots.
“History will be kind to IBB for speaking up against the leadership failure under President Muhammad Buhari. From all indications, the Buhari Government is a monumental failure and a disappointment to all Nigerians”.
