A former Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives and the governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) in Ogun State, Rt. Hon. Dimeji Bankole says the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have nothing to offer to Nigerians.
Bankole, who rose to political prominence under PDP’s platform said both the main opposition party and the ruling party lacked the capacity to provide job opportunities for the teeming population of unemployed people in the country.
The ADP gubernatorial candidate stated this while addressing his supporters and party members during a tour of Ijebu-East Local Government Area of the state, stressing that both parties had nothing to offer the people of Ogun State except disappointment.
His words: “I was once a member of the PDP but when I discovered the party cannot be relied on, I decided to find my way out of the party and I am happy. It is very glaring to all Nigerians that the APC and PDP have no plans for the populace.
“Instead of these embattled political parties to be planning for the betterment of Nigerians, they are busy with arguments at the detriment of Nigerians. The APC and PDP have been battling with various issues over their parties’ primary elections without considering the people they are representing.
“They are unable to provide job opportunities for the people and care for the well-being of the people. I know you are aware of the problems and disagreements among the parties.
“It shows that they are not for the betterment of the people. The members of APC are not in good terms with one another. Also, some members of the PDP are not in good terms with one another.
“Ogun State people should not be distracted. Members of ADP have no disagreement among themselves. ADP will not mislead the people, we are to lead you well and solve the challenges you are facing.
“We have good plans for the people. When we win, apart from employment opportunities, we are going to give way for local government autonomy where the local governments can have their say so that the problems they are having will be solved.”
