Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has described the
crisis being faced by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as a
show of God’s anger against the party for its role and that of its
government in impoverising Nigerians, promoting election rigging and
looking the other way while Nigerians are being killed in their
thousands.
Fayose, who was reacting to the APC crisis in which three people are
claiming to be the Acting National Chairman, said “the party has been
displaying power arrogance and treating Nigerians with contempt. This
is just the beginning, their matters will be made worse with time.”
In a statement on Thursday, by his Spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, the
former governor said for Nigeria to return to the path of progress
that it was before the APC took over power, “more confusion will still
hit the party till it goes into oblivion.”
He pointed out that no one can validly lay claim to the office of the
APC National Chairman, in whatever capacity, adding that the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must be mindful of
being seen as helping the APC to uphold its illegalities.
Fayose, who lamented the killings by bandits, in the North especially
Katsina, Kaduna, Zamfara and Sokoto States, added that “God will never
be happy with a party that its government is doing nothing to stop the
bloodshed, raping of women; including children and destruction of
people’s sources of livelihood going on in the country.”
He said; “It is on record that more than 300 Nigerians have been
brutally murdered by bandits in the last three weeks and the APC
government has done nothing. Rather, Nigerians who raised concern are
being insulted by the APC government while those who protested are
being arrested and detained.
“God can also not be happy with a party like APC, that its government
has not only impoverished Nigerians, but with its inept presidency,
plunged the country into debt that future generations will have to
pay.
“Most importantly, will God be happy with APC after seeing how
elections were rigged since 2015, the latest being in Kogi and Bayelsa
States?
“Definitely, their matters will be made worse with time because for
Nigeria and its people to return to the path of peace and progress,
the APC house of lies that is being nurtured with the blood of
Nigerians must collapse.”
