APC Loyalist Igbokwe’s Frustration Mounts

In a sobering post on social media, prominent APC supporter Joe Igbokwe has alleged that the solution to Nigeria’s crises has not yet been born. Igbokwe, known for his impassioned support of President Bola Tinubu during the election season, expressed deep concern about the country’s cost of living crisis, notably the high cost of a bag of rice.

Igbokwe, who served under virtually every Lagos governor since 1999, appears to be diverging from his previous unwavering support for Tinubu and the APC government.

Citing the rising cost of electricity as an example, Igbokwe questioned the impact of such policies on businesses and everyday life, asking Tinubu to review the situation.

As a once fervent champion of the APC administration, Igbokwe’s shift in tone may signal a growing frustration among some Nigerians with the pace of progress under the current leadership.

The mounting economic difficulties and perceived lack of progress on key issues may be driving Igbokwe and other ardent supporters of the APC administration to reevaluate their positions.

While his recent critiques may suggest a loss of faith in the administration’s ability to turn things around, it could also be seen as a call for more urgent action from the government to address the pressing needs of the people.

Igbokwe’s change in stance is emblematic of a larger trend in Nigeria’s political landscape. As the economic situation deteriorates and public dissatisfaction rises, it becomes increasingly difficult for even the most ardent supporters of a regime to maintain their unwavering loyalty.

The government’s response to this discontent will be critical in shaping the future of Nigerian politics. If the administration fails to address these issues effectively, it could face growing opposition from within its own ranks, including former allies like Igbokwe.
