A former member of the All Progressive Congress APC and senator representing Benue North-West Senatorial District at the Red Chamber, Emmanuel Orker Jev, said he was full of regrets campaigning for President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling party to achieve power in 2015.
The lawmaker who dumped the APC for the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in August 2018, made the disclosure while featuring on Channels Television programme ‘Sunday Politics’ monitored by SurgeZirc NG.

According to the lawmaker, APC has done worse things of what it accused the PDP was doing and has also failed to fulfill its promises to Nigerians.
In his words; “APC has proven to be a party of deceit and I take responsibility for that. I preached APC and I have my reason why I was supporting Buhari’s candidature then.

“I believe that considering that his old age and when he came and presented himself as president, I thought it wasn’t because he wanted to amass wealth or not because of any other reason but to move Nigeria forward. That was my expectation. And I am not God.
“I preached that but somehow he came and they are not doing exactly what they promised to do. In fact, they have disappointed Nigerians. Everything they accused the PDP of doing, they have gone from bad to worse.”
Recall Orker Jev defeated George Akume in the 2019 general elections for the Benue North-West Senatorial District by polling 157,726 votes to the Akume’s 115,422.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari assured Nigerians he would fulfil all the promises he made to them in 2015.
The president gave the assurance at State House Abuja when he hosted members of the Muhammadu Buhari and Osinbajo Dynamic Support Group earlier this year.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Group was in the Villa to officially present to the president their book titled – A Compendium of 5-Year Achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Administration from 2015 – 2020.
