ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS, APC
IMO STATE.

Press Statement

*Resist the Temptation to Join the Proposed Protest, Imo APC urges Youths*.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Imo State chapter, ably led by Hon. Sir MacDonald Ebere, PhD, is compelled to caution our youths on the danger of the proposed nationwide protest, which we believe poses a significant threat to the security, economic development, and democratic stability of our great nation, Nigeria.

In view of the prevailing economic and security situation of our country, we urge Nigerian youths to resist the unfounded and mischievous lure and temptation to join this ill-conceived protest, which is designed to discredit and undermine the efforts of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

While we are not unmindful of the genuine concerns of the Nigerian populace over the economic situations in the country, we are delighted that the APC-led federal government has put in necessary measures in place for a sustainable turnaround of the economy anchored on the renewed hope agenda of administration of President Tinubu.

It is a truism that sustainable economic development requires a long-term approach, focused on building strong institutions, investing in human capital, and promoting economic diversification. This is exactly what the President Bola Tinubu administration is doing through its various initiatives and programmes. A sustainable economic development must transcend beyond the rhetoric of quick fixes!

We must not forget the devastating consequences of unrest and protests in our nation’s history. The proposed protest has the potential to lead to chaos, destruction of property, and loss of life. We must not allow our nation to be plunged into chaos and instability. We urge Nigerian youths to prioritize peace, security, and economic growth over selfish interests.

We believe in the power of constructive engagement and dialogue in addressing the challenges facing our nation. We therefore appeal to Nigerian youths to engage with government authorities and other stakeholders to address their grievances and work towards meaningful solutions. The APC government is committed to listening to the concerns of all Nigerians and working towards a better future for all.

Our youths must be cautious and wary of those who seek to deceive them with false promises and misinformation. The proposed protest is not about the welfare of Nigerian youths but about the selfish interests of a few individuals who seek to undermine our nation’s progress. We must not allow ourselves to be deceived by their antics.

Finally, we advise our youths to resist the temptation to join the proposed protest and instead engage in constructive dialogue and engagement with government authorities and other stakeholders. Let us work together to build a better future for ourselves and for generations to come. We must prioritize peace, security, and economic growth over selfish interests.

Long live Nigeria,
Long live APC.

Signed,

*CAJETAN DUKE, JP*

Presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, has claimed that the political ambitions of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s have crumbled.

Onanuga believes Atiku’s proposed coalition is falling apart due to the defection of key allies to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

In a post on X, Onanuga criticized the coalition efforts being led by Atiku, which includes a former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, ex-SGF Babachir Lawal, and Labour Party’s vice presidential candidate, Yusuf Baba-Ahmed.

“Atiku’s political future looks bleak. The coalition that he, El Rufai, Babachir, and new member Baba-Ahmed are cobbling together has disintegrated.

“Potential allies, including former running mate Ifeanyi Okowa and defunct CPC members, are giving his leprous group a wide berth. Atiku is a loser again,” Onanuga stated.

Onanuga’s comments followed a similar post by fellow presidential aide Tunde Rahman, who noted that PDP’s internal crisis had deepened with the defection of former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and incumbent Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to the APC.

Rahman described the development as “the biggest shocker ever” for Atiku, whose 2023 presidential bid fell short.

Nollywood veteran and political commentator, Kenneth Okonkwo, has expressed strong disapproval of the recent wave of defections from opposition parties to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring that those making the move will come to regret it within a year.

Okonkwo’s remarks come in the wake of the high-profile defection of Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, his deputy Monday Onyeme, and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, along with several commissioners and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders, who all officially joined the APC on Wednesday.

Reacting via a post on X, the actor-turned-politician did not hold back, accusing the defectors of abandoning their parties for selfish reasons—chiefly to evade anti-corruption scrutiny and secure personal benefits rather than serve the Nigerian people.

According to him, the ruling party’s alleged incompetence and corrupt practices will worsen economic conditions, increase hunger and suffering, and ultimately lead to widespread discontent among citizens.

“Mark my words,” Okonkwo wrote, “Before one year from now, these spineless, shameless, and corrupt members of the opposition parties who are running into the APC now to escape EFCC and for stomach infrastructure at the expense of the Nigerian economy and Nigerian people will regret their actions.”

He further asserted that the ruling APC’s misgovernance would be so glaring that the 2027 general election would no longer be a typical party contest but a showdown between the Nigerian people and the APC government.
