Nigeria - The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Niger State governor Babangida Aliyu and his Jigawa counterpart Sule Lamido of being bitter against Buhari because they didn’t defect to the APC when they had the chance.
The two governors had recently vowed to hold newly elected officials under the APC to their promises, advising them to fulfill their campaign vows.
But Lai Mohammed, the spokesman of the APC in a statement faulted their public outburst, saying they’re still stuck in the pre-election mode.
“Nigerians have switched from pre-election to post-election mode, making the unsolicited advice and the rehash of the vitriolic electioneering campaign rhetoric from the two governors totally out of tune with reality.
“Our commitment to Nigeria is sacrosanct, irrespective of the state of the economy, hence we do not need any cheeky advice from governors Aliyu and Lamido. We are not making any excuses, but we will let Nigerians and indeed the world know how much the economy has been wrecked and the role of anyone in bringing the economy to its knees,” it said.
“Governors Aliyu and Lamido are so bitter and traumatised that they have forgotten it was their party, the PDP, that divided Nigeria along its ethnic, religious and regional fault lines. They have forgotten that it was their party that cleaned out the commonwealth in its desperation to win at all cost, at a stage shunning the Naira for US dollars and helping to crash the value of the local currency.
“Governors Aliyu and Lamido are also imagining where they would have been now, had they not betrayed the G7 of which they were original members, seeing the group up to the starting line but cunningly refusing to take off when the race was flagged off. They made a wrong choice and lost out, and they must live with the consequences of their choice, instead of continuing to snipe at some imaginary enemies.
“The chance to be part of a historic opportunity to rebuild Nigeria was offered to the two governors on a platter of gold, but they chose to put their personal interests above the national interest. The fate they have now suffered is a direct consequence of their shortsightedness and selfishness, and they must accept the full blame for that,” the party said.
