“APC Supporters, Examine Your Conscience” – Dele Farotimi Challenges Nigerians Amid Hardship

As millions of Nigerians battle rising costs of living, human rights activist and lawyer Dele Farotimi has delivered a bold message to supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a strongly worded post shared on his official X handle, Farotimi urged APC loyalists to reflect deeply on the role they play in the country’s current suffering. He called on them to summon their conscience, reminding them that beyond politics, everyone will one day face accountability before God.

“If you support the APC; examine yourself. Summon your humanity and conscience to conclaves, be reminded of your mortality, imagine your immortal soul before the throne of God, and remember that you were told; you are an accomplice to evil,” he wrote.

A Call to Conscience

Farotimi’s words cut through the political noise, touching a raw nerve at a time when inflation, unemployment, and insecurity continue to weigh heavily on Nigerians. His message is not just political—it is moral and spiritual.

He challenged APC supporters to look beyond personal interests and face the human cost of governance failures, stressing that history and posterity will judge every choice made today.

Why This Matters Now

The statement comes at a time when ordinary Nigerians are grappling with:

• Soaring prices of food and fuel.

• Worsening insecurity across several states.

• High unemployment and mass migration of young talents abroad.

By holding supporters accountable, Farotimi pushes the conversation beyond leadership alone, asking every Nigerian to reflect on their complicity or silence in the nation’s struggles.
