The philanthropist said, “The APC administration has failed Nigerians woefully in harnessing its abundant human and material resources and has instead resorted to various undemocratic economic policies that affect the downtrodden.

“The security situation in the country, the uncertainty in the polity, and the worsening economic downturn which are consequences of poor leadership entails that Nigerians should return to God for help and direction.
