Failed APC campaign promises

A House of Representatives aspirant for the Kabo/Gwarzo constituency of Kano state, Shehu said his decision to dump APC is a result of the party's failure to fulfil its campaign promises to Nigerians.

The former APC youth leader also accused the ruling party of sabotaging the overall development of the country.

He said that the APC has also failed to give opportunities to the teeming young Nigerians across the country and in the diaspora.

His words:

“Presently in the country, there are no jobs, ASUU is on strike, there are security challenges, lack of health care facilities, poor economy and lack of youth inclusion in governance."
