A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has dumped the party for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Eze announced the development in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday.
He said the decision was informed by what he described as the brazen ineptitude of the current regime led by the APC and President Bola Tinubu.
Recalling his roles in championing the APC during its formative years, Eze said he regrets being among those who spoke to the conscience of Nigerians to accept the party.
He said the APC has lost direction and has been reduced to a congregation of minions and puppets of Tinubu.
Eze said, “We promised Nigerians that we. will improve the value of our local currency to the Dollar, but the Naira has maintained a free-fall trajectory and abysmal performance in the international money market.
“We promised to erase insecurity in Nigeria, but instead the party and the government in power has turned the country to a graveyard where no Nigerian is sure of life; the party promised sufficient food for all Nigerians, instead the government is building Internally Displaced People (IDP) Camps to house farmers as bandits raze the homes and villages in North East and North Central zones that are food basket of this nation; we promised quality education for our children.
“Today, education is flat on its back, beaten into a prostrate position which has made those who knew the standard that existed before this time to shake their heads in sorrow and dismay.
“We promised to make our democracy one of the most outstanding in the world, instead we have turned our democracy not only a huge joke but a laughing stock as the country under Tinubu is being forced into a one party system; We promised to erase corruption but succeeded in making corruption and embezzlement of public funds a way of life under the current regime.
“Our dear President Tinubu promised Nigerians of uninterrupted power supply and if he fails nobody should vote for him or the party but he succeeded to give Nigerians darkness but scheming to be reelected.”
