Leader of the National Consultative Front, Prof Pat Utomi, has declared that the All Progressive Congress, APC is a criminal construct structure.
Describing the Buhari-led administration as unfortunate, Pat Utomi revealed that the People’s Democratic Party, PDP administration led by Good Ebele Jonathan, was better.
The business mogul, politician, and academician said the APC government has failed Nigerians and turned political parties into infrastructure for state capture.
“A group of people gets together, hoodwink another group of people to found an instrument to use to capture the state for their own material benefits and call it a political party,” Utomi was quoted by reporters.
Claiming that both the APC and PDP are one, he faulted his belief in APC, hoping they were going to do better than the Jonathan-led administration, which he condemned.
“But unfortunately, the APC is now worse than the PDP government that it replaced. So, Nigeria seems to be in a desperate race to the bottom.
“It just gets worse by every regime. What Nigeria needs to do, is to recognize that there is a fundamental structural problem to governance within the country that makes governance difficult.
“The main reason is state capture. We have to purge ourselves of state capture,” he said.
According to the professor, he has never been invited to any meeting, and he alleged he was also part of those who founded the party.
“APC had never invited me to any meeting since the party was founded. So, it was a criminal construct to use people to capture the state for the abuse of few individuals.”
