In other news, a former governor of Jigawa state, Sule Lamido, had decried the governance pattern of the APC in Nigeria.
Lamido said the way the APC is handling the affairs of the country is appalling as the party seems to have failed in terms of performance.
He further described the ruling APC as a barren party that is unable to deliver good governance for the country.
The former governor noted that the APC is power-driven and lacks the capacity to bring about the desired change Nigerians are demanding for.
