Governor
Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State has said that the unimpressive performance
of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will be an added
advantage to the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to regain
power in 2019.
According to him, the APC government
under President Muhammadu Buhari has not been faithful to Nigerians as
many of its campaign promises have remained fulfilled.
Governor Mimiko spoke on Saturday, May
14, 2016, at the South West zonal congress of the party which held at
the International Conference Centre in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
He said PDP members should brace up and
strengthen the party to take over power in 2019 as the APC government
has disappointed Nigerians with the pains it has inflicted on the people
through its anti-people policies.
He said the future of the PDP depended on the action and inaction of the present members as the future of the party is bright.
Mr. Mimiko noted that PDP in the zone
occupied strategic position in Nigerian political realm. He said the
southwest remained the leading light of politics in Nigeria, calling on
the leadership of the party to stand up for what is right and be
consistent with the history of “progressivism” that the zone was known
for.
He also appealed to the leadership of
the party to stand firm because of the tedious task ahead of them,
calling on other members of the party to be united and committed to its
success in the future elections.
In his remarks, the Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, said the party would do well if all members come together as one.
He also cautioned the judiciary not to allow itself to be used by those who want to cause disunity in the party.
“There are people who cannot win elections, but would want to attain power through the use of the courts,” he noted.
He also accused the federal government
of reversing all the achievements of the last administration, arguing
that the country’s fortunes had dwindled after the All Progressives
Congress, APC, took over.
