APC has not fulfilled any campaign promise since assuming power – Ekweremadu

Nigeria's Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu on Thursday says the governing All Progressives Congress, APC, got into power on the wings of propaganda and had not fulfilled any of its campaign promises.

''Unfortunately, the chicken has come home to roost sooner than anticipated,'' he said at the rebranding conference of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja Thursday. ''No campaign promise, I repeat, no promise made by the present APC administration has been kept. They promised to scale up the exchange rate of our currency by making one naira equal to one US dollar. Have they kept this promise? They promised to bring back the Chibok girls in three months. Have they brought back the Chibok Girls? They promised to pay N5,000 to 25 million unemployed youths. Have they paid a kobo to any youth? They promised free meals to our children in the schools. Have they given any? They recently promised to end the Boko Haram insurgency in December 2015. We earnestly hope and pray that this particular promise is kept in the overall interest of our nation.''
