The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has said it is disgrace for the military to celebrate the recapture of Chibok from Boko Haram.
Chief Oyegun made this proclamation on Monday while receiving completed expression of interest and nomination forms from Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar in Abuja.
He said “Today, we are celebrating a victory, how disgraceful? A country like Nigeria? 170 million people, Boko Haram drives you out of Chibok then you manage to reinforce and come back and drive them out and you are celebrating? What is there to celebrate?”
He charged Atiku and other APC Presidential aspirants to salvage the nation.
He said “That is the extent to which this nation has degenerated and that is the responsibility that falls on your shoulders.
“Have it in your heart, and at the back of your mind that you are dealing with a nation that needs salvaging, with a nation that needs redemption, with a nation that is virtually at the edge of the precipice and we are dealing with a party that just does not care, and even if they care, they don’t know what to do to get this nation out of the precipice.”
He also said the APC is proud of all its presidential aspirants for running a mature campaign for the ticket.
