Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has remained unrelenting in his criticism of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Addressing the media in his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State, the ex-president said that the party was taking “Nigerians for fools”.
He alleged that the APC has further impoverished Nigerians since coming to power in 2015 and urged them to vote it out during the 2019 general election.
He said, “The APC, as a political party, is still gloating and revelling in its unrepentant misgovernance of Nigeria and taking Nigerians for fools.
“There is neither remorse nor appreciation of what they are doing wrong. It is all arrant arrogance and insult upon injury for Nigerians.
“Whatever the leadership may personally claim, most Nigerians know that they are poorer today than when the APC came in and Nigeria is more impoverished with our foreign loan jumping from $3.6bn to over $18bn to be paid by the present and future generations of Nigerians.
“The country is more divided than ever before because the leadership is playing the ethnic and religious game which is very unfortunate.
“And the country is more insecure and unsafe for everybody. It is a political party with two classes of membership.”
