Ability Bemoans APC Leadership for Decades of Backwardness in Nigeria

By YM Bina

People’s Democratic Party Board of Trustees Member and Senatorial Candidate for Niger North Zone’C’ Hon. Yahaya Ability (HYA), has spoke passionately about what he described as the troubling state of the nation under the leadership of the All Progressives Congress APC led administration in the country.

Yahaya Ability in a provoking interview in Minna, lamented that Nigeria has been drowned decades backwards through excessive borrowing without corresponding development, sequel to the deteriorating infrastructure, rising corruption, unbearable living costs, and an alarming escalation of insecurity across the country.

On Niger State and particularly the Niger North Senatorial Zone, he expressed deep concern that communities continue to live in fear despite increased allocations to states and various constituency intervention funds.

According to him, the foremost duty of any state Governor is the protection of lives and property, yet many citizens still go to bed uncertain of their safety.

He emphasized that leadership must be measured not by promises or ability of deceitfulness but by the security and welfare enjoyed by the people.

The 2027 PDP Niger North Senatorial candidate pledged that if entrusted with the mandate of represent them in the Senate, the issue of security would never be treated as a side discussion but would remain a top priority on the floor of the National Assembly.

Yahaya Ability vowed to be a relentless voice for vulnerable communities, down trodden and the voiceless to ensuring that their cries are heard where decisions are made for consideration.

He explained that Nigeria must move beyond commemorating democracy and begin to build a nation that genuinely works for all devoid of regional, tribal, religious or any other sentiment.

Marking Democracy Day in Nigeria, he argued that the occasion should transcend celebration and become a moment of national introspection, a day for honest reflection on the country’s challenges and a renewed commitment to fixing them.

“The true test of democracy,” he implied, “is not in the ceremonies we hold, but in the safety, dignity, and prosperity experienced by the people.”
