The former governor of Akwa Ibom state, who stated this in an interview with Thisday, said that rather than focus on how to fulfil its campaign promises to the Nigerian people, the ruling party spent two years blaming Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for its failure to perform. Senator Akpabio advised the APC to stop the blame game and focus on delivering its campaign promises to Nigerians He said: ‘’I believed that if it were PDP–between 2015 and 2017, we would have made more significant progress. ‘’A lot of plans have been outlined but, not much has actually been seen in terms of progress and delivering of campaign promises; most of the campaign promises have actually not been met. ‘’But from a politician’s point of views, I am just imagining that probably, we could have handled the recession better, if it were PDP and that is how I looked at it.’’ PAY ATTENTION: Read the news on Nigeria’s #1 news app Akpabio accused the APC of lacking focus and experience adding that they were never prepared for the task before them. His words: ‘’Before you go into government you must do a critical analysis of what you intend to do. You can’t go and promise free education when you are not sure of whether you are ready. ‘’Before you make promises to the people you must have done not just the detailed analysis of the economic situation of the government, but a review of the economic policies of the government. ‘’So, if they say they underestimated the mess created or left behind by the PDP that means they, on their own part, were not prepared for governance.’’ He advised the federal government to place little emphasis about what happened in the past, turn things around and stop blaming the past administrations, saying there was no need for blame games. ‘’We must accept that we have not been able to get the policies right. It is one thing to have the policies and it’s another to implement them well’’, he added. APC national chairman, John Oyegun and the party members have always insisted that the party has done well He continued: ‘’The summary is that many things have not stopped till today, a lot of unnecessary waivers are still being given by the federal government; importation of so many things is still going on. We cannot be producing rice in Sapele and importing rice from Thailand and expect the rice factory in Sapele to continue to work. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads ‘’I think one of the things they have not done right, is the fact that, they are wasting human resources. We have so many reservoirs of experienced people who could have assisted the government.’’ READ ALSO: Nigeria inching towards another civil war – Pastor Tunde Bakare Akpabio accused APC of not running an inclusive government and by extension not been able to follow strictly the issue of federal character to ensure that they tap the brains of all sections of the country.
