APC should be holding apology rallies, not campaigns — Utomi

Professor Pat Utomi, a member of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Advisory Committee, has asked the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop its campaigns and instead organise apology rallies across the country.

Utomi, the leader of the Big-Tenth, a political consortium pushing for the election of Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, disclosed in Abuja that “considering the abysmal and woeful performance of the APC, the party ought to be organising rallies to apologise to Nigerians, rather than grandstanding and positioning itself for another electoral contest.”

He also accused the APC administration of failing to adhere to its manifesto, saying it “shamelessly jettisoned it without any form of remorse.”

He said allowing APC to continue in power, or allowing the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to take over power in 2023  “will definitely be a disaster for Nigeria.”

Utomi said: “The Nigerian people have spoken; they have said they are tired of this old order. They (APC) will wait for us to release our manifesto then they will copy it, add some things and come out and shout, “This is our manifesto’, but in their heads, they have no plans to implement them.”
