PRESIDENCY: APC will be here for the next 200 years

Despite the economic and political situation in the country has been subjected to under the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Presidency on Tuesday said that the party has done very well and will rule the country for the next 200 years.

This was stated by Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Okoi Obono-Obla at the national secretariat of the party Tuesday in Abuja during the official presentation of his book entitled, “APC: The Making of a Change Agent.”

He said, “I said in the next 200 years APC will be alive. Yes, why not? Because we have done very well and we are going to remain in power for as long as we continue to do well, we believe Nigerian people will always vote for us.”

Obono-Obla also at the ocassion said there was nothing wrong with the invasion of The Sun Publishing Company by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.

He said, “EFCC has not gone after the media. What happened is that The Sun Newspaper was under an order of interim forfeiture, so they (EFCC) went there to look at the property; the property was not taken away and not deprecated, and nothing is wrong with that.

“They didn’t go there because The Sun published a news story that is consider against EFCC or government, they went there to do their work as part of their mandate to fight financial crimes, and you know that the media house is owned by a former governor who is under trial; as we are talking now, he is under trial and if your are under investigation, EFCC has a power to go to court and get an order of interim forfeiture pending the hearing of the case against you.”

Recall that like Obono-Obla, a former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, once boasted that PPD will rule Nigeria for 60 years.
