The rivalry between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has intensified since 2015 after the APC defeated the PDP in the 2015 general elections. But, the hope that Nigerians had with the coming of the APC to the central government seem to have faded with many unhappy with the government over what they say are failed promises.

Analysts say there is no major difference between the APC and the PDP as the ruling party has not made any significant progress since coming into power. The reason for this many say is the fact that majority of the present day members of the APC are former PDP members. In other words, the politicians just have another platform to express their views and advance their interests, not necessarily because they have any ideals, but because they are seeking for power. Below is the list of 30 key members of the APC who are formerly eminent members of the PDP.

Useless politicians

Wonders!

Apc has always been a failed project

Fact is most Nigerians are unintelligent, or over estimate their intelligence.. That's the only reason why apc can win an election in this country

Folks screaming 'PDP has finished this country' don't make use of their brains.

Is PDP the name of a person?

The same folks that were in PDP are now in APC, and zombies have the audacity to shout 'PDP destroyed this country'.

Of course zombies don't make use of their brains.


Corruption continues as politicians join another platform to steal.

They are now saints according to APC and their myopic supporters

We also are not helping the matter by supporting corruption.

There is an emergence of revolution - The New Nigeria Vanguard!

While many of us are sitting down by our keyboards complaining, other young, intelligent and resourceful Nigerians have begun taking steps.

We have no affiliations or sponsors

We are young Nigerians who will defy the anomaly.
