Former presidential candidate, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has called on Nigerians to come together across political, ethnic, and religious boundaries to save the nation from what he termed the ineffective leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement released on Monday, Olawepo-Hashim accused the APC of damaging the economy and exacerbating national divisions.
He stated that the APC-led administration has thrust Nigeria into unprecedented levels of debt, increased poverty, and overseen a rise in insecurity that has left the nation "bleeding profusely."
According to him, the policies of the ruling party have resulted in economic contraction, widespread hardship, and a significant decline in Nigeria's global standing.
"Nigerians must come together to combat the evil that the APC has come to symbolize, irrespective of party affiliations, ethnic backgrounds, or religious beliefs," he asserted.
"The reckless policies that have led to increased poverty, high inflation, and economic decline are affecting all Nigerians equally, without regard to whether one is Christian, Muslim, or adheres to traditional beliefs," he emphasized.
Olawepo-Hashim further stated that the APC's decade in power has devastated the national economy, claiming that Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has plummeted from $574 billion in 2014 to less than $259 billion.
"The APC's ten years of consistently misguided policies have devastated our national economy. They have reduced our GDP from $574 billion in 2014 to less than $259 billion today, a catastrophe unmatched in our economic history," he concluded.
