Speaking on Political Paradigm an interview programme on Channels Television on Tuesday, the seasoned politician said the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress Parties have failed the nation, and that was why the nation’s youths are queuing behind the ObiDatti candidacy with the expectation that it would bring the desired change in the country.

Ireti, who was wife of the Vice Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Secretary to the Government of the Federation Ambassador Babagana Kingibe said the Labour Party would when it comes to power shut its doors against politicians who have soiled their hands and have helped themselves to the nation’s funds, adding that though they may be welcomed to join the party, but would not be allowed to hold any political office or given any further access to the nation’s funds.
Speaking on AMAC, the seasoned politician said she is prepared to give AMAC better representation.
