The Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi has confessed that his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and President Muhammadu Buhari, have failed to deliver all the campaign promises to Nigerians.
Fayemi said APC leaders must take responsibility for the failure to deliver on their campaign promises in the areas of security, anti-corruption, and economic growth, insisting that some of the country’s issues were on ground before Buhari’s government.
Fayemi said: “I’m not going to shy away from the expectations people had before we came to office. I was a leading player in the campaign that brought my principal (Buhari) to power.
“We promised Nigerians quite a number of things, particularly centering on security, anti-corruption, and on economic growth. Have we been able to attain all of what we promised? Obviously not.”
Fayemi’s statements cannot be made unconnected to the fact that the country has been experiencing serious security challenges with the resurgence of banditry and kidnapping, especially in the Northern part of the country.
Amid the security challenges, Nigeria had slipped into recession twice in the last six years under Buhari’s administration.
