Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has urged his counterparts in the All Progressives Congress not to shy away from accepting the fact that the APC-led Federal Government has failed Nigerians.
Wike said it was not enough for members of the Progressives Governors Forum to acknowledge the worsening security situation across the country without admitting to the failure of its federal leadership.
Wike said, “I hear the Progressive Governors Forum saying that there is insecurity. Who is responsible? They should come out openly and say that the party in power has failed. Nigerians gave a mandate to APC at the Federal Government level and therefore, they must own up that they have failed Nigerians.
