In a statement in Abuja today the APC,appealed to Nigerians not to lose hope, despite the daunting challenges they were currently facing in "this atmosphere of contrived chaos", saying help was on the way.

APC said, "In a few daysâ€Ö time, President Jonathan will hand over to President-elect Muhammadu Buhari. Never in the history of our country has any government handed over to another a more distressed country: No electricity, no fuel, workers are on strike, billions are owed to state and federal workers, 60 billion dollars are owed in national debt and the economy is virtually grounded.

APC said while the "Jonathan administration has arrogantly told Nigerians that it remains in office and in power till May 29, all it has been doing was sacking people and making new appointments as if it has been deprived of the opportunity to do so in the past six years".
