Over 14 political parties from the opposition, under the umbrella of Credible Alternative Alliance, CAA, have warned President Muhammadu Buhari against seeking foreign assistance.
The parties under the aegis of CAA, include the Social Democratic Party, Peoples Redemption Party, Fresh Democratic Party, Nigeria Advance Party, Peoples Salvation Party, Change Advocacy Party, United National Party for Development, Peoples Progressive Party and Action Party of Nigeria.
Frontiers of the group, former Governor of the old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, elder statesman, Dr. Tunji Braitwaite and former Minister of Finance, Chief Olu Falae, gave this charge at a press briefing read by the National Coordinator of CAA, Dr. Damian Ogbonna, on Thursday in Abuja.
According to them, while they wish the new administration well, “its ability and readiness to meaningfully govern Nigeria remains in doubt.”
The parties said, “We note that APC appears to want to cultivate and rely too much on the support of foreign governments. This is not good for the sovereignty of our nation. CAA calls upon APC to rely less on foreign support.
“The party should do more to cultivate domestic support from political parties in the country. You cannot govern effectively when you do so alone; its not sustainable.
“Both the President and other leaders of APC have been in government for decades to warrant knowing exactly what they want to do and how they want to do it. Even those of us here at CAA, with less than a year into our formation, do have bold and visionary plan upon which we predicate our drive to govern Nigeria”.
