The All Progressives Congress (APC), Kwara State chapter has called on the people of Kwara State and Nigerians to vote out President Goodluck Jonathan on February 14 in order to salvage a profusely bleeding Nigeria.

The APC said the call is imperative because Mr President has nothing more to offer in his present capacity.

In a statement issued on Monday in Ilorin by its Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari, the party described the presidential rally of PDP in Ilorin as celebration of failure".

"The presidential rally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ilorin was a celebration of failure.

"We had expected the Presidential Candidate of PDP, Dr Goodluck Jonathan to tell Kwarans why he deserves re-election and also offer solutions to the challenges of Nigeria but surprisingly, President Jonathan chose to waste the ample opportunity of the rally on political commentary.

"Kwarans should note that since President Goodluck Jonathan failed to tell them why he deserves re-election during his scantly-populated presidential rally in Ilorin, Kwarans have the responsibility to massively vote him out of office.

"Anyone who carefully listened to Mr President's speech would mistook him for an inexperienced comedian who struggled in futility to impress his audience.

"Despite the disbursement of millions in Naira by President Jonathan's foot-soldiers and Abuja politicians to induce Kwarans to attend the rally, the scantly populated rally shows that Kwara State is a no-go area for the PDP.

"It is no longer news that President Jonathan is yet to fulfil any of the electoral promises he made to Kwarans in 2011. It is also apparent that Mr President has no achievement whatsoever in Kwara State and we do not expect Mr President to lay claim to false assertions or take credit for non-existing projects.

"However, rather than his political commentary, it would have been of interest to the people of Kwara State if Mr President had used the avenue of his presidential rally to tell them when he will refund the over N4billion the Kwara State government used to execute and rehabilitate the Ilesha-Baruba-Chikanda international border road and federal road projects across the state.", the statement read.
