Nigerians Will Beg APC TO Govern Them In 2019:APC Chairman
Former minister of Information, and erstwhile National Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Prince
Tony Momoh has declared that within a year or two, Nigerians will be celebrating the Buhari-led administration, adding that by
2019, APC will be begged to continue to lead the country.
Momoh was speaking in an interview with the Daily Sun on Thursday.
He said, “If you see what has happened, what Buhari said he will do, he will fight corruption, he will create jobs, he will face
agriculture and of course, he will fight insurgency.He said the President was a very
predictable person, adding that the country was safe under his watch.
He added, “He will secure this country. He will do anything to secure this country. In
other words, he will fight insurgency, he will fight hostage taking, he will fight armed
robbery; he will fight anybody who wants to undermine Nigeria’s economy.”
“He will even fight those cattle rustlers and other people who are undermining other
communities by destroying their hosts.”
Momoh noted that only a secured country will be making development plan, adding that stabilizing the country through infrastructural development had been
difficult due to multiple security issues.
He said, “Security, plus stability will give us prosperity. There is no magic about it and that is what Buhari has been doing.
“When he started, about 14 local
government areas were in the hands of Boko Haram. Now, the Boko Haram is not in control of any local government area.
“Secondly, you will see how much is being given to capital expenditure. I don’t know if we ever gave that much to capital expenditure in our recent history.
He also noted that the war on corruption has been massive as well as productive.
The APC leader pointed out that due to the involvement of some persons in oil industry,the sector has not done really well, adding that a cartel had been diverting and sharing the country’s money, which according to him, called for the removal of the fuel subsidy and liberalization of the down stream sector.
