The Great Nigeria4Obi-Datti, a political support group backing the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has taken a swipe at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for using Aso-Villa, the nation’s seat of power as venue for official launch of its presidential campaign.
The group said in a statement issued in Awka, Anambra State on Wednesday, that the use of the presidential palace for the inauguration of the Tinubu/ Shettima Women Presidential Campaign Team was an insult to Nigerians.
The statement issued by the publicity bureau of the group read: “We, at the Great Nigeria4Obi-Datti totally condemn the frivolity known as the inauguration of the Tinubu/ Shettima Women Presidential Campaign Team, held on Monday 10th October, 2022 at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja. We condemn the continued use and abuse of our common trust to fleece the Nigerian people.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has openly continued to party while Nigeria burns. We must remind the APC party, and their top brass of their massive indifference to the reigning penury in the land.
“That while ASUU is on strike, and our children are not going to School, Parents/Workers are unpaid, new Jobs remain unavailable, insecurity everywhere, Food prices and inflation rising exponentially, Nigeria hemorrhaging workers to foreign lands, and our currency losing its value, yet the APC top brass found a way to continue the ‘Ariya’, spending whopping Millions of Naira replete with Troupes, Assorted Uniforms, Banners, Colorful Decor, Chandeliers, Dances, Music, Catered Food, Ushers, high powered Security to hold a Women’s jamboree at the Aso Rock.
That an indifference to the suffering masses in Nigeria! The Apple certainly rots from the top.
“The Ariya jamboree must end. At the Great Nigeria4Obi-Datti we call for a commitment to the issues bothering on the common Nigerians, including attention to Education, Job creation, Salary payment and security. The APC has to go! Probity, is everything. Nigerians have to sweep the APC out with their own broom.
A call to accountability is in order. Stop the Frivolousness! We have taken a stand” the group stated.
