Those opposed to President Buhari's administration will fail - APC

APC APC

All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that those trying to bring down President Muhammadu Buhari's administration through the back door will not succeed.

The party declared on Thursday through the party Secretary, APC Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee, John-James Akpanudoedehe during an interaction with an affiliated body of the party, APC Professionals Forum at the party's National Secretariat in Abuja.

Akpanudoedehe said some disgruntled elements were pulling people together, to know that there is insecurity in the country to bring down the government of APC, "but their plans will not work."

He insisted that the Buhari-led administration can't be judged, based on social media comments and “artificial” security situation in the country.

"President Buhari will be judged by security and other achievements but the issue of security is not going to be artificial security situation in Nigeria.

"There are some bad eggs in the Police but we must also understand that the police has a system within its organization, to try and dismiss and convict any misbehaved Police officer just as we have in the Army and the Navy.

"It seems that people are now paying attention to blackmail in the social media. In the social media, a lot of educated young people were misled to believe that SARS was an evil organization inside the police, and today we are having pockets of insecurity everywhere because the effects of SARS have really weakened the morale of the Police," he said.

The party secretary urged the new Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali-Baba to get back the spirit of effective policing by reenergizing the Force to defend Nigerians not minding what happened, during the #EndSARS protest.

Earlier, the National Coordinator of APC Professionals Forum, Akeem Akintayo said it was midway into the second term of President Buhari and the forum believes it is the best time to reel out outstanding achievements and performances that will ease APC campaigns and messages towards 2023 general elections.

"As we move towards the next general election, APC Professionals Forum appreciates the leadership of our great party ably represented by the ever committed and dedicated National Secretary of our great party, for the support of this project to provide a noble platform like this for accountability of stewardship for our performing appointees and elected officials to tell Nigerians what they have done on behalf of the party," he stated.
