The youth leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Asiwaju Adekola Adeoye has issued a red card to the ruling government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at both federal and state level as a result of their abysmal performance since they assumed power.
Adekola made this statement in Ibadan when he featured as a guest on "Community Today" online TV program of CEOAfrica. He stated that, APC has failed Nigerians in all aspects as they have brought untold hardship on the people despite the massive votes they enjoyed during the last polls.
The Oyo PDP youth leader frowned at the inability of APC to fulfil the plethora of promises made to Nigerians during their electioneering campaigns. He went further to mention some of the promises of the APC which they are yet to fulfil. This include: making the Nigerian currency equal to the dollar, reversing the pump price of petrol to forty naira, employing three million Nigerians on annual basis.
