APC has dragged Nigeria 50 years backwards - Governor Nyesom Wike

• Governor Wike blasts APC

• Accused them of been a failure to the country

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken Nigeria back by 50 years.

This he said is as a result of their poor performance in governance.

He made this known when the Vice President of Rotary Club of Port Harcourt, Obiageli Ejezie, led other leaders of the association to the Government House, Port Harcourt, to confer on him the “2019/2020 Good Governance Award” for his outstanding achievements in project execution in Rivers state.

According to Governor Wike, the APC in 2015, promised the people of Nigeria a better governance but have since taken office failed to fulfil their promise.

''There can’t be good governance without security and this is based on rule of law. All of us are living witnesses in 2015 when it was alleged that the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan could not perform. So Nigeria needed a change. What has happened to the change? They have taken Nigeria back by 50 years”.

Now, you wake up every morning, students are being kidnapped in so and so state university, people have been killed in so and so state. So, it has become a norm.

Just wake up in the morning and the first thing you will see on the front page of dailies is 10 people have been kidnapped in Niger State; 20 have been killed in Zamfara State, 5 have been killed in Imo and this happens virtually every day. So, where are we heading to?” he asked.
