The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) wants the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, to stop his incessant, unguarded attacks on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Felix Morka, the APC National Publicity Secretary, in a statement, described El-Rufai’s attack on President Tinubu’s administration at a meeting in Sokoto as “another outburst of a failed politician”.
The statement urges El-Rufai to rather present viable policy options for national development.
“Beyond baseless headline attacks against the present administration and the APC, El-Rufai and his cohorts have not presented and, quite frankly, cannot present policy prescriptions with potential for more effectiveness than those already being implemented by the Tinubu administration, with strong indicators of success.
“All three major contestants in the 2023 presidential election campaigned to remove fuel subsidy and harmonize multiple foreign exchange regimes in recognition of the urgency and seriousness of the country’s economic challenges.
The statement expresses surprise that the opposition has not presented policy proposals to restore fuel subsidy and tell Nigerians how to finance the resultant massive deficit that would ground the economy to a devastating crumble.
It describes President Tinubu as one of the most detribalized and patriotic Nigerians alive.
The statement also expresses confidence that Nigerians will sustain their support to the Party and renew President Tinubu’s mandate come 2027, to consolidate on what now looks to be the most outstanding first term record of achievement of any President in the nation’s history.
