PDP's chieftain, Mr Michael Adegbola has expressed his worries concerning APC saying that the party has failed to learn from the achievements and mistakes of the PDP, adding that the party has also reneged on the delivery of its electoral promises to Nigerians. The Lagos PDP governorship aspirant in the last general elections, stated this while reacting to the delay in the appointment of ministers by President Muhammadu Buhari’s led administration, over a month after his inauguration. The medical doctor expressed worries that this would slow down the pace of governance in the country. “It is something that nobody expected, going by the vigorous campaign of the APC and President Buhari and the promises they made of change. All Nigerians expected this change and the expectation is very high. But, unfortunately, what we are getting is the reverse of our expectations. “Buhari and the APC had more than four years to prepare for this governance that has been entrusted on them. They have been in opposition for the past 16 years and they have been very critical of many decisions of the PDP-led federal government, telling Nigerians that they can do things better if given the opportunity. “So, Nigerians expected them to hit the ground running upon their taking over of government. But, unfortunately, they seem to have nothing to offer. They have also failed to learn from the achievements and mistakes of the PDP. Obviously, Buhari and the APC are not prepared for governance. It is obvious that they are confused. “They made outlandish promises during the campaign that anybody who has some political experience will know that some of the promises were irrational, unrealistic and only intended to deceive Nigerians to vote for them. “Like promising to pay N5,000 monthly stipend to all unemployed Nigerians and elderly ones. How is that possible with our current economy and the falling price in crude oil? “I can’t remember any government in this country that stayed one month in office without appointing ministers. Instead of settling down to government, they are busy fighting both in the party and the APC-controlled National Assembly. “So, Nigerians shouldn’t expect anything spectacular from the APC-led federal government. By the end of four years, Nigerians will have realized that they made a mistake voting this government in,” he prophesied After over a month at the helms of affairs, President Buhari is yet to decide on his cabinet members, which has increased the tension within the political circle
