Former Nigerian politician and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has taken aim at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), questioning the party’s impact on the lives of ordinary Nigerians amid a surge in political defections.
Speaking during an interview on Sunday, George challenged the APC to show tangible results that have positively affected Nigerians, asking, “What has APC done to put smiles on the faces of Nigerians?”
Defections and Political Instability
Bode George highlighted the wave of defections from the APC to other parties, including his own PDP, suggesting that the mass migration is a reflection of dissatisfaction with the ruling party’s performance.
He accused the APC of failing to deliver on key promises made to Nigerians during election campaigns.
Call for Accountability and Results
The former senator emphasized that political rhetoric and party slogans are not enough.
According to George, the APC government must demonstrate concrete achievements in sectors like economy, security, and infrastructure to regain the trust of Nigerians.
Political Engagement and Future Outlook
Despite the criticisms, George expressed optimism that through collective effort and accountability, Nigeria can overcome its current challenges.
He encouraged Nigerians to be actively involved in the political process to ensure their voices are heard and that leaders are held responsible.
