Tabansi noted that infrastructure and economic situation might affect Soludo’s programmes and policies.

The politician said the poor state of roads and others were factors that could slow down the speed of the incoming government.

“In spite of building an airport, it was wrong for the present administration to neglect other sectors, especially the roads.

“In addition to fixing the roads, the payment of workers’ salaries, among other compelling needs, will be waiting for him,” he said.

Tabansi observed that there were public expectations that the problems would be solved within one year.

He, however, said “I don’t expect much because the nation is experiencing economic downturn.”

The pronouncements by the Acting National Chairman have no foundation as no organ of the Party (including the NWC), individual or group has the power to cancel, overrule, veto or vary the resolution of the National Executive Committee (NEC),” the statement read.
