"Nigerians Elected Us To Do Impossible Things" – APC Deputy National Chairman
The Deputy National Chairman (South) of the All Progressives Congress, Segun Oni, has said the party was elected to do the impossible.
He, however, said Nigerians should be patient with the APC-led Buhari administration because it could only do its best by contributing it’s quota to national development.
Oni said this in an interview with newsmen at the party secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday.
He argued that the economic difficulties currently being experienced by Nigerians would have been
worse if the Peoples Democratic Party had returned to power.
The former governor of Ekiti State also accused unnamed politicians, whom he described as “money bags,” of sponsoring criminals under the guise of herdsmen to destabilise the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
According to him, even though Nigerians have every right to expect “magic” from the APC, the reality on ground is that there is no magic wand to make Nigeria’s problems disappear overnight.
He said, “The economy was traumatised by a government whose only agenda was to win another round (of elections). Therefore, everything that they could put into trying to win a second round, even bastardising the economy, was done and we are all here.
“The reality on ground is that, if the previous government were (still) in power by now, Nigeria would have virtually packed up, maybe many of us would have become refugees by now.
“Yes, we are elected to do the impossible; we will do our best. I just want to plead that people should give us more realistic expectations.”
