Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has said the All Progressives Congress (APC), has failed to fulfill its campaign promises as well as restoring hope to the people.
Jonathan made this known while receiving leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state capital, on Friday, February 16, 2018.
He said: “I believe that PDP will return to power in 2019 if we continue to build confidence especially as the ruling party has failed to meet up their promises and give hope to the people.
“Propaganda may help you win elections but can’t help you govern and that is what APC has seen in the last 32 months.”
The former president also expressed support for the amendment of the sequence of 2019 election saying: “Holding presidential election first will affect the quality of persons that will emerge in other polls because of the bandwagon effect.”
“The ruling party the APC should see it from national and patriotic interests since laws are not meant for persons in power at a particular time.”
Jonathan criticized Buhari over herdsmen attacks
Jonathan had criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for dragging his name into the ongoing Fulani herdsmen crisis, saying his administration treated them as terrorists.
Jonathan criticised the presidency for the inaccuracy of the figure released and the attempt to trivialise the current crisis.
The former president also defended his handling of the killer herdsmen during his tenure and explained how he curbed their menace and prosecuted offenders who were convicted after trials.
