Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, said on Thursday that the All Progressives Congress government led by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), had failed Nigerians.
Ortom, who was the guest of Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State in Ibadan at the inauguration of the Moniya-Ijaiye-Iseyin Road, said Nigerians all over the country were in pain due to the collapsing economy and insecurity.
He said the failure was obvious to everybody, because the country’s security and economy were much better before Buhari took over in 2015.
Ortom said the APC lacked the capacity to turn around the situation of the country, adding that the ruling party should be changed in 2023.
