Hon. Olumide Jones, a PDP chieftain in Ogun State, has used Nigeria’s Independence Day to call for calm, saying the country will overcome its challenges, especially in security and the economy.
He expressed disappointment with the federal government’s performance, describing it as poor and not effective.
Hon. Jones also condemned the rising insecurity in Kwara South, stressing that it is the duty of government to protect lives and property.
He faulted the APC-led federal government for focusing on politics and intimidation instead of good governance.
As Nigeria marks 64 years of independence, Hon. Jones urged citizens to keep praying for the nation and get ready to vote out the APC in the 2027 general elections.
As an aspirant, he said he is positioning himself to represent the Ifo/Ewekoro Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
Jones noted that Nigeria has made little progress since independence, saying the federal government has failed in almost all areas.
