PRESS STATEMENT
APC SUMMIT; A GATHERING OF FAILURES ENDORSING THE GRAND COMMANDER OF FAILURE (GCFR).
Nigerians yesterday watched with utter disappointment the embarrassing gathering of failures in Abuja.
The APC Summit was a gross insult on the intelligence of Nigerians as the grand-failure, Bola Tinubu, was praised to the high heavens despite the untold hardship, mass poverty, and several neoliberal attacks the regime has launched against the people. One would only wonder if these men and women in APC really live in this space like the rest of us.
No one in Nigeria today needs a degree in Economics to understand the magnitude of hardship the policies of the regime have caused, as the economy falls off the cliff. Under this Naira devaluation and floating regime, the Naira is now so worthless than a used toilet paper. The Naira floats between 1500-1700 per dollar with many businesses that rely on Forex struggling while many have folded up already.
On security, violent attacks have become a daily occurrence, and all the promises to secure lives and properties have proven to be empty words. From the Plateau, to the Southeast, North down to the Southwest, no one can sleep with their eyes closed.
The rule of law has also suffered badly under this grand failure. Under the watch of the grand failure, the once revered judiciary has become an object of mockery. “Go to court” is now the popular innuendo when Nigerians want to express how disappointing and unreliable the justice system has become. This is without dwelling so much on the poor human rights record of the regime. Journalists and critics now live in fear of being arrested and charged under a wicked CyberCrime Act.
In spite of all these, the same political class that has crippled Nigeria continues to recycle itself under different banners. This is why Nigerians must divorce themselves from this crop of failed leaders and prepare to wrestle power through the revolutionary and people-oriented politics of the African Action Congress (AAC).
The so-called opposition under the Labour Party (LP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) should not be taken seriously. They are of the same identity: looters, opportunists, and defenders of the status quo who are only interested in switching positions, not changing the lives of ordinary people.
Nigeria needs a clear break from the old. That break will not come from summits of failures or alliances of the corrupt. It will come from the organized power of the people rising through genuine revolutionary platforms like the AAC.
We condemn the APC gathering of failures in its entirety, describing it as insensitive and irresponsible. We state that it’s time to reject deception. It’s time to build real change.
