Packaging Buhari Like ‘God’ Caused APC’s Failure – ADP Chairman

National Chairman of Action Democratic Party (ADP), Yabagi Sani, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) missed it when it presented President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians as “God” and “the solution” to the country’s problems.

Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, Sani said the APC forgot that President Buhari was human and has his “short-comings” as an individual.

The ADP chairman equally took a swipe at National Chairman of the party, John Oyegun, saying he’s only relevant during elections.

“That is the mistake APC made, they were shouting Buhari, Buhari like it is the solution, Buhari is not God, he is a human being, he has his short-coming as a human being, instead of selling programmes, they were selling images to people,” said Sani.

“That is why they cannot stand, the system cannot stand, everything surrounding individual, it doesn’t work that way.

“The only time Oyegun is relevant is when they want to go for elections, they can’t even have a board meeting, they don’t even have board of trustees.”

“When this APC came you can’t even identify with the leader, even the national leader they don’t have. Is Tinubu a chairman of the board or leader? Nobody assigned anything to him,” he said.

On agitations for the country’s restructuring, Sani said, “Federalism is not only peculiar to only Nigeria. We borrowed it from America.

“America has a way of running this system that allows every state to achieve its potential to the maximum, what is lacking in our own situation is that we fail to respect or observe those parliamentary – acts of parliaments in the various sectors of the economy to implement them the way they are supposed to be implemented.

“We do not respect the law that is the problem we have in Nigeria,” he said.
