Former Governor of Edo State and the National Legal Adviser of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Professor Oserheimen Osunbor, has slammed the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on Monday while resuming his duties, the former governor said the misrule of the APC has placed Nigeria’s democracy is under serious threat.
He accused the APC of leading Nigeria with lies and deceit and plunging citizens into penury day after day.
According to him, Nigerians who are dejected and frustrated now see the ADC as their only beacon of hope.
He said: “The level of poverty is very high, and people are looking up to ADC to rescue Nigerians from the unfortunate situation in which we find ourselves. Our hard-won democracy is being seriously threatened by the government in place.
“So we are very mindful of this onerous responsibility that Nigerians expect us to play.”
He called on Nigerians to work together to enthrone an ADC-led federal government and also ADC being in control of many states of the federation in 2027.
Osunbor said: “We are not in this race just simply to remove APC from the position they now occupy as if they are conquerors of Nigerians, but we offer credible leadership. We know that the government should cater to the welfare and well-being, and security of the people, which is now very lacking.
“We are very mindful of what we should be doing to put a smile back on the faces of Nigerians. We know very well that Nigerians are suffering, and we know that Nigerians are looking up to us to take all necessary steps required to ensure that the government is all about people and not about personal aggrandisement or just lining your personal pocket with money. The wealth, the resources of Nigeria must go to the benefit of Nigerians, not a few.”
