Information reaching the PoliticsNGR newsdesk on Wednesday afternoon reveals that loyalists of the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have formed a new group known as the Broom United Movement(BUM).

This development is coming a day after APC chairman, John Oyegun had his tenure extended. The Splinter group accused the APC leadership in Lagos of engaging in 'Manipulation, marginalization and illegalities'.

During its Inaugural meeting at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Mr Faud Oki, Convener of BUM, warned that unless a solid reconciliation is built, the party might be heading for disaster in Election year.

"Our party suffers from low organisational capacity and lack of internal democracy. The resultant effect of this has been its incapacity to support our democracy as expected.

Today, our party in Lagos State is fading into insignificance. Massive membership exclusion is becoming the order of the day with members withdrawing from the political space and constituting themselves into internal opposition.

It is in the light of all these, that the BUM will involve committed party members who will bring moral authority, character and wisdom in handling the delicate issue of reconciliation, unity and accord."

The current graveyard silence that permeates our political landscape with a ‘siddon look’ syndrome is very dangerous,” adding that political parties are vital organisations in a democracy, and democracy is stronger when citizens become active members of political parties.

Unfortunately, the democratic culture in our state is characterised by factors such as illegalities, rigging, oppression, manipulation, marginalisation and violence.Democracy and political participation are related to good governance; this relationship is complementary but appear to be antithetical in our political system. When democracy is abused, good governance becomes elusive and evasive."
