Tinubu won’t reverse policies despite hardship – APC

“Pray for Our Troops, Leaders”: Tinubu’s Christmas Plea to Nigerians

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has insisted that President Bola Tinubu-led government will not reverse its reform policies despite the prevalent economic hardship in the country.

The APC said this in response to calls by the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for President Tinubu to reverse some of the policies to lessen the burden on the Nigerian masses.

The ruling party also described as baseless the claims by the opposition that it rigged the recent governorship election in Edo State as part of a grand plan to enthrone a one-party system and install totalitarian rule in the country.

Recall that the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) had on Thursday, October 10, 2024, alleged that the ruling party manipulated the Edo election to achieve its plan of turning Nigeria into a one-party state.

At a press briefing held after its meeting at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja, the BoT chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, expressed concerns over the country’s deteriorating socio-economic situation, which he blamed on policies of the APC-led government.

APC rejects PDP’s call for policy reversal

Reacting to the allegations on Friday, the APC Director of Publicity, Alhaji Bala Ibrahim, said the ruling party had no intention of jeopardising the country’s democracy.

“The APC as a ruling party is not intending to foist on the country anything that is going to injure democracy.

“The APC is a progressive party; it is a party that is out to bring changes that will bring about dividend of democracy to the people. Democracy is only vibrant when there is opposition, but let the opposition be constructive, not destructive.

“The country had been bleeding heavily under the leadership of the PDP; they mismanaged the country. So Nigerians are still watching and beginning to understand what change means,” Ibrahim said in a telephone interview with Daily Trust.

The APC publicist explained that the current government’s policies were not anti-people but aimed at uplifting their socio-economic well-being in the near future.

He urged the opposition to perish the thought of policy reversal and support the government’s effort to set Nigeria on the growth path.
