A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano, Alhaji Abdulmajid Dan Bilki Commander, has expressed deep regret over his decision to campaign for President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election. He described it as the worst mistake of his life, citing the administration’s failure to meet the expectations of Nigerians.
Commander, who remains a member of the ruling party, stated that he had never regretted any decision as much as supporting Tinubu’s candidacy. He lamented that many Nigerians who voted for the president had been let down, given the current state of the country.
“It pains me, but it is the truth, and let the truth be told. I am an active member of APC, but I must admit that Nigeria’s administration under APC has failed Nigerians. As an individual who dedicated his time and resources to convincing people to vote for the party, I want to state here that I am regretting my action,” he said.
Despite his continued affiliation with the APC, Commander declared that he felt the need to apologize to Nigerians, especially those who voted for the party based on his influence. According to him, the ruling party has failed to deliver on its promises.
He emphasized that Nigerians were struggling with economic hardship, insecurity, and poor governance, which had left many citizens disillusioned. “Nigerians are hungry and angry. Their security is not guaranteed, and governance is lopsided. They can’t even afford two square meals per day,” he added.
