Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Governor of Benue State, Senator Gabriel Suswam, on Tuesday, said the current administration under the All Progressives Congress, APC, doesn\u2019t have a direction.<\/p>\n

Suswan claimed that all the policies, including economic and social, have fallen flat on their faces.<\/p>\n

The former governor stated this while fielding questions on Arise Television\u2019s News programme.<\/p>\n

He suggested that Nigerians need a viable alternative, which is achievable with serious and focused leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had President Olusegun Obasanjo who did very well and handed over to late Umaru Musa Yaradua, who unfortunately died, and his tenure was completed by his Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. Unfortunately, Goodluck Jonathan lost the election to the All Progressives Congress, APC; he lost to Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe lost that election because of what\u2019s happening today, there was a lack of discipline in the party at that time, coupled with the massive propaganda and lies by the current party in power now. We couldn\u2019t make any headway and we lost the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuhari came in making promises of change. Buhari\u2019s eight years have come and gone, and it\u2019s left for Nigerians to frankly determine if they were better off or worse than then.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe this country nosedived and changed for the worst. Because if we look at the economic parameters that were left by Jonathan and what happened during Buhari\u2019s time, most Nigerians say they would have preferred Jonathan\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, we thought would win that election. Nomination was done, and then a crisis started after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was nominated to carry the flag of PDP. Some Governors felt they were short-changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s obvious that the APC under the current leadership doesn\u2019t have a direction. All the policies, whether they are economic, political or social have fallen flat on their faces. And so, Nigerians need a viable alternative, which is achievable with serious and focused leadership, something I can provide.<\/p>\n
