He opined that the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to fulfill the promises they made to Nigerians in the 2019 general elections.

Gana said the country is nosediving and needs urgent rescue from the Buhari-led government.

He asserted that there’s no government In Nigeria, asking the PDP to take over Niger and the country and salvage it from the deflated state that it is under the ruling APC.
