The Minority Leader of House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has described the remarks made by the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku that about 90 percent of protesters campaigning for the release of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted from Chibok, Borno State, were members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as admittance of leadership failure.

Gbajabiamila in a statement signed by his Research Aide, Wasiu Olanrewaju-Smart in Abuja said: “Mr Maku the information minister is damn right!”

Gbajabiamila posited that Maku’s remark was a tactical admittance of leadership failure and Federal Government is only losing confidence of many Nigerians it has failed to protect.

“I am particularly chuffed that the PDP government has finally woken up to smell the coffee and has admitted that APC is a movement and that 90 percent of Nigerians are APC because as far as I know that is the exact percentage of Nigerians that are criticizing government over the handling of the terror crisis”, he said

The lawmaker advised the Federal Government to retrace its step on handling of insecurity in the country and face reality. “Conscience is like an open wound and only the truth can heal it. Good job Mr Maku”, the lawmaker said.
