The immediate past governor of Ekiti state, Kayode Fayemi, has admitted that the All Progressives Congress, APC, has performed way below the expections of Nigerians.
This is even as he apologised to the Nigerian people over the failures of the APC over the years, a situation that has put the country in a far worse state than the party met it.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Fayemi said the party didn’t fulfil all its promises to the people.
The APC chieftain, who briefly served as a minister under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, attributed the party’s failings to structural hindrances.
He implored people in leadership positions, such as himself, to do more to move the country to a better place.
“Oh, clearly, we all have reasons…we must apologize to the Nigerian people. We have not succeeded in achieving everything we promised to the Nigerian people.
“And that’s not just because we were incompetent, but because there were other structural impediments that have made things more difficult for us.
“But clearly we haven’t done enough to make life abundant for the Nigerian people, and for that, I clearly would not hesitate to apologize for that. We can do a lot more…”
The All Progressives Congress came into power in 2015 with ex-President Buhari defeating the incumbent Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, government led by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Many Nigerians believe that things have changed for the worse for them since the almost 10 years of the APC administration.
Buhari handed over to his party man and former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu in May 2023.
Tinubu removed fuel subsidy on the very day of his swearing in, an action that ultimately worsened the situation in the country, throwing millions of Nigerians into abject poverty.
