Elder statesman Chief Mike Ahamba, a distinguished Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) since 1992, offered a thought-provoking perspective on the rise of banditry, terrorism, and secessionist movements in Nigeria. He pointed out that these troubling phenomena were not prevalent before the emergence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) into power. Ahamba urged members of the APC, comprised of fellow Nigerians, to engage in introspection and ponder what actions may have contributed to the proliferation of these challenges.
According to what Mike Ahamba said in the report by the Nigerian Tribune, "Since the All Progressives Congress (APC) came to power at all levels of the country, we have not known comfort and peace. This question of bandits, or you call them terrorists, or you label them anything, or secessionists, was not there before the APC came to power. APC is made up of Nigerians; they should sit back and ask themselves: What have we done wrong that has initiated all these things? I’ve always told people that political parties are masquerades wore by human beings, so if you’re looking at political parties when you’re voting, you’re making a terrible mistake."
