The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Yakubu Dogara, has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure that it delivers on its promise of change as this will make reelection in 2019 a walk over for the party.
The Speaker said this when he received a delegation from Delta State APC under the umbrella of Delta APC Contact Committee in his office on Wednesday, according to a statement issued in Abuja by his spokesman, Turaki Hassan.
Dogara noted that nothing could sell the party faster and wider than providing tools of empowerment for Nigerians to thrive in their businesses and daily lives through provision of infrastructure and other needs as promised by the party.
While commenting on how Delta and other opposition states can be captured by the APC in 2019, the speaker explained, “a better way of getting there will be for APC states and the APC controlled federal government to deliver on promises. If we are able to do that, you may not even have to suffer or pool resources and you may not even have to campaign, because the people will know that those in APC are serious people who will deliver on their mandate and because it’s been done elsewhere, if they are given the opportunity in Delta State as well, they can replicate that.”
“We know that rebuilding infrastructure is key because only free, empowered citizens can actually contribute in a democracy. That is what democracy is all about, freedom to pursue happiness and how do you pursue happiness when you do not have the tools to do that? And so I believe that as soon as the budget gets underway, the kind of pains that we see right now will lessen and we should be able to deliver on the promise of change, which will also lift Delta APC to a new pedestal.”
