The National Democratic Coalition has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his judicial victory, urging him to now prioritise the implementation of the manifesto of his party, the All Progressives Congress.
The Chairman of the APC-USA, Prof. Tai Balofin, levelled this allegation in a statement in Lagos on Sunday.
In any case, this is what can raise the Coalition from its moribund posture – to make the people to begin to think, because those who actually did not even understand democracy, and did not work for it have now come to eat where they have not sown; and they are everywhere.
