Why Nigerians Will Vote Out APC In 2023 – Wike

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has revealed that Nigerians will be compelled to vote out the All Progressive Congress (APC) from the central government in 2023 because of its inability to tackle corruption and insecurity in the country.

Wike also said Nigerians have realized they made a terrible mistake voting for APC in 2015 considering the nose diving economy and worsening insecurity in the land.

Wike made this disclosure when he visited the Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri on Friday.

He said Nigeria’s poor ranking in the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index also confirmed the humongous corruption in the current administration, adding that the government’s anti-corruption campaign has been misleading.

“Are Nigerians happy? The answer is no. If Nigerians are not happy, what is the expected result you get? Obviously, Nigerians would want the APC not to govern them in 2023. I believe Nigerians are now realising they have made a mistake and want to correct that mistake by voting PDP and no longer APC.

“What you see in the so-called anti-corruption crusade is vindictiveness. Today, if I want to leave PDP and go to APC, I will no longer be corrupt. The moment I remain in PDP, I’m corrupt. So corruption is based on the party you belong to. That is their definition of corruption and that is why everybody is disappointed.

“Let me speak on my visit to Adamawa, I am shocked, overwhelmed with what I have seen here. I was asking him (Fintiri) where he was getting the money from. The kind of construction going on is as if Nigeria’s economic problem does not affect Adamawa State.

“And that is what we have always said, whatever opportunity you have, whatever the privilege you have, you try to make your people happy by providing them with the basic infrastructure.”

“Don’t be distracted, don’t be bothered with what people will say. Continue to focus on infrastructural development because that is what can drive the economy of Adamawa State,” Wike said.
