APC Has Become An Embarrassment To Nigerians, Says Osifo

Hon. Dr. Isaiah Osifo, flagbear of the Labour Party (LP), in the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State, has described the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party full of embarrassments to the people of Nigeria.

Dr. Osifo at a press conference, he addressed in Benin City, also expressed dissatisfaction over the choice of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as the governorship’s candidate of the APC over alledged N700m EFCC fraud case.

Dr. Osifo said it is a show of shame for the party that prides itself as the one fighting corruption to have fielded a candidate who is currently standing criminal trial in court over money laundering to the tune of N700m.

“We think this is an insult on the anti-corruption policy of the federal government under the leadership of President Buhari,” he said, adding “APC should stop taking Edo State voters for granted.

“Behavioural science is committed to two aspects of any individual or organizational behaviour. The “Act” and the “intent”.

“What should be the intention of APC, the ruling political party in Nigeria that is loud on its anti-corruption crusade in chosen a candidate that is undergoing criminal trials on money laundering?.

“The rules in all responsible public service, including the rules in Nigeria public service require a public servant undergoing criminal inquiry to step aside until the final resolution of the matter”, he said.
