Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi | credits: File copy

Chieftains of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti blamed the Peoples Democratic Partys 15 years of misrule for the poverty and insecurity in Nigeria.

They spoke at the official presentation of the APCs flag to Governor Kayode Fayemi by the interim National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, ahead of the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti.

The criticism followed the spate of blasts in the country and the abduction of over 200 pupils of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, by the Boko Haram Islamic sect.

Reports said no fewer than 150 people died in the Tuesdays blasts in the ever-busy Jos Terminus Market, Plateau State.

On Thursday, two schools in Bauchi State were attacked while Kano was bombed on Sunday.

A minute silence was observed at the rally in honour of victims of attacks of insurgency in Nigeria.

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, who called out governors of the APC to present their endorsement letters to Fayemi, lamented that Nigeria was going through a very difficult moment.

Referring to the Tuesdays bombing, he said, Many may not agree that today Nigeria is going through a very difficult moment. Let me say that a nation like Nigeria that is facing extreme danger of daily bombings, killings and blood letting should better seek the wisest cause of action and not of mourning.

The governor, who said the party initially considered canceling the rally because of the unfortunate incident, said the gathering was for the love of democracy and to celebrate excellent performance and visionary leadership of Fayemi, and to ensure that Ekiti people did not fall victims of misrule.
