A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC told THIS DAY that his party will likely lose the upcoming governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states because of President Muhammadu Buhari's anti-corruption stance.
The APC chieftain who spoke anonymously said, ''Yes, President Buhari and our party want to fight corruption; we want to do things differently from the previous government led by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but we must not forget that many well-meaning Nigerians and their friends put their money down for our elections. They want to be appreciated by one way or the other''.
''The president may have good intentions for our country going by his current efforts to reposition our nation, but good politics goes beyond fighting corruption. There are other things he can start doing that will benefit our party members and Nigerians as a whole, along with fighting corruption''.
''Look, two governorship elections are coming up in Bayelsa and Kogi States, and with APC controlling the centre, we thought the elections would be a walk-over for us. But that is not the case, as many of our leaders and their followers are not happy with us. As the president continues to preach the gospel against corruption, there is mounting fear that those who invested hugely in our last general election might not get anything. For many of us, this is not good politics at all.’’
