The Senator representing Ondo South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Nicholas Tofowomo, has declared that the ruling All Progressive Congress is not sellable ahead of the 2023 election.
Tofowomo said this at Ile Oluji area of the state during the training, empowerment of youths on ICT and distribution of laptops in his  senatorial district.He said that pressures were being mounted on him to defect, stressing that he would rather quit politics permanently instead of decamping to APC.According to him, “Since the coming on board of APC in 2015, it has been sordid and sad tales of events for Nigerians.”
Armed robbery and banditry are now an integral part of Nigeria. Nobody is safe, it is as bad as that. So, APC has failed the nation. APC doesn’t have an agenda.”Than to go to APC, I’ll leave politics because APC is a dead party in Nigeria. They have wrecked the economy of this country. So, it is over my dead body, I can never decamp.”
For me, it’s PDP in the morning, afternoon and at night.
And if I leave PDP, I’m going back home. If you look at APC, it has ruined Nigeria’s economy, they have scored zero in that aspect.”
Look at the Nigeria Police, they have continued to allow them to work in terrible workplaces.
The police stations ought to have been refurbished. When you talk about Nigeria Army, the Boko Haram upper legislative chamber would be strict in oversighting revenue agencies in 2022 as government could not afford to run on deficit.He expressed optimism that if waste was curtailed with more funds coming into the coffers of the Federal government, it would lessen the level of external borrowings.
