According to Alhassan Doguwa, majority leader of the House of Representatives, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will need more than eight years to “clean up the mess” left by the Peoples Democratic Party’s administration (PDP).
Doguwa was interviewed by Channels Television on Tuesday.
The APC launched its presidential campaign in the north-west geopolitical zone on Tuesday, with a rally at Kaduna’s Ahmadu Bello stadium.
On the occasion of the flag-off, Doguwa stated that the people of the northwest are “indebted” to the country for electing Muhammadu Buhari, a native of the zone, as president.
He stated that the people of the northwest will “payback” by supporting Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate from the country’s south.
The fact is that President Muhammadu Buhari cannot be expected to do everything at the same time,” he said.
Eight-year tenure of office cannot be enough to put back the messes and problems we had encountered during the PDP misrule. We need more than eight years to finish up those things.
The fact here remains that you now have another Buhari — a master strategist, master planner, somebody who can think ahead of time, somebody who is connected internationally, and someone who had an example of good governance when he was governor of Lagos state.
So, the belief now is that APC to be taken over by asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will definitely consolidate and build on the gains already made by President Muhammadu Buhari.
PDP was in power from 1999 to 2015.
