Orker-Jev hits on APC for failing to keep its campaign promises

The lawmaker representing Benue North-West Senatorial District, Emmanuel Yisa Orker-Jev, on October 10, berated the APC for failing to keep its campaign promises.

Orker-Jev stated this when he appeared in a Channels Television Programme, Politics Today.

The lawmaker said: “Now eight years down the line, what we have seen is excuses. They claimed that PDP ruled for 16 years and they only spent eight years. You made promises when you knew you’re not going to stay in power beyond eight years.”

The Senator’s position tallies with the views held by many concerned Nigerians. The APC government had assumed leadership in 2015 with a clear-cut promise of majorly addressing insecurity, corruption, and revitalising the economy.

Unarguably, the present condition of the country is a remarkable contrast to the many promises it made before the ascension to power.

It is left for Nigerians to decide whether to retain the APC government as 2023 polls approach, or vote them out, if they feel disappointed with its leadership.
