WICKED APC IS NOW AFRAID OF THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE

WICKED APC IS NOW AFRAID OF THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE  We read with amusement a statement issued on Sunday by the national secretariat of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) attacking Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for saying what is an obvious truth that the 2027 general election would be a contest between the APC and the people of Nigeria. Democracy is about politicians meeting the people at the polls. Why is the APC afraid of meeting the people at the polls in 2027? A party that has been doing the will of the people would thank Governor Makinde for pairing it with the people. But the sinner will run when nobody is pursuing them. The APC is that sinner. It shall not go unpunished.  We believe that the APC statement was very unnecessary, wrongly directed and wrongly themed. if the APC and its Federal Government are doing well and the people are happy with them why would they see Makinde's statement as an attack on their government?  It is our belief that...
