Ise-Ekiti – In a strongly worded statement, a concerned citizen, Wole Akindele, has criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) for what he describes as a catalogue of betrayal and national suffering since the party came into power.
According to Akindele, Nigerians were promised change but instead have been subjected to worsening economic hardship, deepening insecurity, and widespread corruption under APC’s leadership. He lamented that the nation’s economy has deteriorated drastically, with the naira losing value, inflation skyrocketing, and basic food and transportation costs becoming unaffordable for the average citizen.
“The APC didn’t just fail; they betrayed the Nigerian people,” Akindele said. “They promised to fix the economy, but today millions can’t afford to eat. Hunger has become the new normal while the elite continue to enrich themselves.”
On security, Akindele noted that the APC came into office on the back of promises to end terrorism and restore safety, but instead, Nigeria has become more unsafe than ever. “From the North to the South, kidnappings and killings have become daily headlines, while the government issues empty statements without action,” he stated.
He further expressed disappointment over the state of the power sector, describing the billions spent as wasteful. “Generators have become louder than ever because power supply remains epileptic despite all the noise and promises.”
Akindele also accused the APC-led administration of selective anti-corruption campaigns, alleging that only opposition figures are targeted while party members accused of corruption go unpunished.
On the contentious removal of the fuel subsidy, he criticized the decision as poorly executed and damaging. “Fuel prices tripled overnight without a workable plan in place. Transport costs soared, businesses collapsed, and the masses were left to bear the brunt,” he said.
He also condemned the rising debt profile of the country, citing massive loans taken without tangible improvements in infrastructure. “Trillions have been borrowed, yet there are no visible results. We don’t see the roads, hospitals, or schools—just more suffering.”
Akindele concluded that the APC government has presided over a period of national pain marked by incompetence, insincerity, and a lack of accountability. “Nigerians deserve better. We were deceived and abandoned. The people must never forget this era of betrayal,” he said.
The statement has since sparked conversations in political and civil circles, reflecting growing discontent with the current administration.
