He advised the leadership of the opposition party to commit

its energy into something more productive, like putting its

house in order instead of wasting it antagonizing President

Jonathan-led administration.

Speaking further, Shagari, noted that those unnecessary

attacks would not help promote the unity and progress of

the country.

The deputy governor expressed optimism that APC would

be a thing of the past after 2015 general election because

the party does not have any solid programme that can

transform the wellbeing of Nigerians.
