Why we may not vote APC, in 2019, Abuja natives warns

By Ateko Usman-Ejima

Natives of the Federal Capital Territory have said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) should not approach them for votes in 2019, if their pressing needs were not channeled to President Muhammadu Buhari for immediate attention.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Friday, the spokesman of the group, Ahmadu Yunusa Yusuf, said the natives under the aegis of Abuja Indegenous Association (AIA) have already lost confidence in the APC-led administration for failure to address their challenges, especially failure to give them a ministerial slot. ￼The group expressed disappointment at their political leaders for not protesting to President Buhari when they were denied of Ministerial slot.

He said: “the natives had expected that by now the FCT party stakeholders would team up and make a protest visit to the president, seeking a ministerial slot for the people of the territory.”

They urged their political leaders to take action or risk protest against the APC government the shortest period of time.

“We can’t imagine that none of these council chairmen has ever gone to the media asking Mr. President to appoint an FCT indigene as minister. And we want to make it categorically clear that we will not vote APC come 2019 election,” he added.

““The armed forces are not neutral,” he said, adding, “They collude with the armed bandits that kill people, kill Nigerians. They facilitate their movement. They cover them. If you are depending on the armed forces to stop the killings, you will die one by one. The ethnic cleansing must stop in Taraba State. It must stop in all the states of Nigeria, otherwise Somalia will be a child’s play. I ask everyone of you to be at alert and defend your country, defend your territory, defend your state. You have nowhere else to go.””– Former minister of defence, General T Y Danjuma speaking at the maiden convocation ceremony of Taraba state university in Jalingo, Taraba State.
