A Tale Of Two Flag-offs - By Peter Obi
On Tuesday, the 5th of January, 2015 the All progressives Congress (APC) flagged of its campaign in Port-Harcourt, where it attempted to showcase what it has to offer Nigerians. Like I said in my recent intervention in media after the event, it was nothing but empty declarations about what the party ‘would like to do’. The APC had nothing to offer in terms of real understanding of the problems of the nation and any detailed plans about how to solve them.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), on the other hand, flagged off its campaign in Lagos, the supreme headquarters of the APC yesterday the 7th of January, with clear and loud statements about its understanding of our national problems, the steps it is taking in dealing with them and how it will continue to steer the ship of state towards sustainable development, according to 21st century standards. The important thing to note here, among others, is the absence of a plan for national development from the APC fold.

During the flag-off by the APC, the party said it would stop insurgency, but did not say how. It showed no knowledge of the capacities and challenges of the armed forces and was content to merely assure Nigerians that, once elected, it would stop insurgency the way its flag-bearer stopped the Maitasine group in the 1980s. it President Jonathan and the PDP rally of yesterday to know that past Nigerian governments, including that of Gen Muhammadu Buhari, have consistently failed to equip the armed forces and make them combat ready. The APC failed to situate the problem within the contemporary global and national challenges and, therefore, had nothing to offer by way of real solutions to the problem.
