ABUJA – A
member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Congress (APC)

efforts to reduce the economic hardship in the country, lamenting that Nigerians are fast losing patience with the administration.
efforts to reduce the economic hardship in the country, lamenting that Nigerians are fast losing patience with the administration.
This was even
as he alleged that about three serving ministers in President Buhari’s cabinet
were saboteurs who had opposed his presidential bid even before the last
general elections. Speaking with journalists Wednesday at the national
secretariat of APC in Abuja, Akamukale, who is the only APC caucus member from
Delta state said, “if by 2019 the (APC) dream is cut short by Nigerians many
people you see today, some who are ministers and others will go back but some
of us will still remain, many people will go back and look for a new government
to take position. They will tell you that they are technocrats because they
have nothing to lose.”
He said, “If you really ask me, I think Nigerians are
becoming impatient with us because it is now about two years into this
government, so it is for Nigerians and not about me or about APC members but
for Nigerians to know what this government will do to benefit them. “I think
beyond what Buhari should do to APC members; this is not about APC members, it
is about Nigerians; what is the percentage of APC members? How many of us
voted? The percentage of r
eal APC members could not have made Buhari a
president. So, it is actually Nigerians.
So, I think the president should bring
on board those who believe in the change mantra, those who yearned for change,
that could assist Mr. President in delivering the dividends of democracy to the
masses of this country because in the end, the people that lose or gain are
Nigerians. Nigerians voted for us and there are things they are expecting from
us”. (VANGUARDNGR)
