Senate Deputy Minority Whip and ex- Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Senator Biodun Olujimi, has described the All Progressives Congress, APC’s change mantra as empty and without substance, saying that no meaningful change has occurred in the country in the last six months of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.

Olujimi, who is representing Ekiti South senatorial district, added that Nigerians have not witnessed any relief since Buhari came on board, describing the much touted change mantra of the APC as mere political gimmick targeted at garnering votes during the 2015 general elections.

The senator spoke, yesterday, while delivering a lecture entitled: Journalism: A Catalyst For The Real Change in Nigeria, to mark the 2015 lecture series organized by the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ekiti State Council.

Olujimi said Nigerians could now realise that APC has nothing to offer them, in view of the alleged lacklustre performance of the party at the centre.

She said: “I know the change mantra of the APC at the federal level must have influenced this topic. But it is now clear to all Nigerians that the change mantra was used as election gimmick to garner votes during the 2015 presidential polls.

“A catchy phrase it was, but with APC being six months in power, whether the change is truly change is for all Nigerians to assess.”
