All Progressives Congress has
admitted to taking some steps that has
affected the country.
Vanguard reports that the party took
responsibility following a meeting with
the Senate president, Dr Bukola Saraki
and the National Working Committee of
the ruling party.
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun who is the
chairman of the party admitted that the
APC took some decisions that resulted in
problems.
We took wrong steps when we came into power
– APC takes responsibility for Nigeria’s problems
He said: “Unfortunately, it is clear that
there were first steps since we came into
office which created problems and the
very nature itself of the amalgamating
parties, created its own issues all of
which has tended, up till now, affected
the mode of operations and the level of
interactions between the various arms of
government and the party. So, we have a
unique, God-given opportunity to take a
look at ourselves, take a look at the
National Assembly, look at the party and
look at the way we all interact among
ourselves and the governed and it is my
hope that this will be the very best of this
high level interaction.
“We will at the very end of it all, present
to the Nigerian public, a government, a
party and a National Assembly that are
working all in the same direction.
“The economy is tough, as a result,
people are going through hard times and
it is certainly not acceptable. The people
who are looking up to us, want to find us
concentrated, determined, focused on
programmes that will ameliorate not just
the economy but the condition of living
of the ordinary Nigerian. It is hoped that
after this interaction, the public will
begin to see a new party, National
Assembly and of course focused
governance of the people.
“It has been a very rewarding meeting.
As far as the party is concerned, we
commended the senate and the entire
National Assembly for the way they have
worked so far with the Executive. We are
determined and we concluded that we
must work closely together to address
some of the glitches that still exist, the
relationship between the National
Assembly and the executive.
have started the process, but there are
issues to be resolved and there is no
question at all that we are a family and
when things have gone wrong, we accept
that things have gone wrong and we are
determined to right those wrongs”.
