Rev. Richard Peters, a senior priest in the African Church, has warned his followers not to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) because of the current fuel crisis and the lack of new Naira banknotes.
He asserted that the party was to blame for the people’s current financial struggles.
He emphasized that anyone who votes for the APC in the upcoming elections does not have Nigeria’s best interests in mind.
The cleric urged them to vote for every other party in the upcoming presidential and National Assembly elections instead of the APC during the Quinquagesima mass yesterday at his church in Uyo.
He said the level of hardship people are facing due to fuel and Naira scarcity is unprecedented; therefore the electorates should use their PVCs to change the status quo.
According to him, “They promised us that they were going to change the situation but instead of changing, they are making the situation very difficult for the people.
“You have money in your account, you cannot access it; so many ATM points are not paying any money, even the POS centres you cannot withdraw despite the high charges. They are returning us to days of crime where people will go to people’s houses just to steal food.
“APC should just return the country to how it met it so that the new government will continue from there, they met the country when the price of fuel was N85 per litre, when a bag of rice was between seven to ten thousand naira and our Naira had value.
“Nigerians are looking for a way to come out of the quagmire and they are bringing another person who will worsen our situation, so you people should rise to the occasion.”
