The PDP chieftain said:

It’s the usual APC way. I am not surprised. Buhari blamed Jonathan for eight years, and Tinubu is doing the same. It’s all about blame games and not ready to take full responsibility for their actions and policies.
The greatest mistake we made as Nigerians was voting for APC in 2015. The mistake is now very hard to correct, but I strongly believe that one day, we will flush APC out of the system.
A serious government that is in charge of security is bound to do everything to make life easy for the citizens. Sadly, this government is more of using propaganda to run every government ministry and agency while the common man is suffering.
They want Nigerians to endure while they are enjoying. It’s so sad, and I urge Nigerians never to allow the APC to control their minds. APC is a disaster and can never drive this country forward."
