A.P.C: The Not- So- Smart Party by MyBarca: 1:38am On Mar 07, 2015 |
For the All Progressive Congress (APC), their Presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari, and their cult followers cum supporters, the 2015 Presidential poll has been won and lost with General Buhari waiting for his anointing on March 28. To them, May 29 is their destined day of coronation, which they are preparing to celebrate on a high note. Make no mistake, Chieftains and fans of the party have repeatedly boasted of electoral victory come March 30 result announcment. The Party Leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday 17, February was so emphatic when he said “APC has won the elections, except they rig on the other side.” In fact, they are so used to seeing themselves as the de-facto incoming government that they won’t mince word in opposing and verbally attacking citizens and well-wishers with contrary views. They are so confident that they have already planned to form a government whether a legitimate one or an alternative one. One begins to wonder whether they have “legitimate” electoral acceptability or They are just trying to give themselves something to hope on. 2015 Election and APC The APC, their Candidate Buhari and their supporters have conditioned themselves with the belief that Nigerians will elect their candidate SIMPLY because they feel the incumbent has not done as expected and has goofed on few occasions. While I agree with the APC that President Jonathan goofed on few occasions, it amounts to political quackery to think that electorates will be forced to bring to power a party that has not shown leadership at the various levels they control (i.e state and Local Government level). It also amount to self-deceit for the party to assume that the electorates are willing to bring to power a party whose members are filled with failed politicians from both the PDP and the opposition since 1999. It also amount to self-misdirection for a party and her candidate to assume that Nigerians are not interested in pertinent issues. The APC has repeatedly accused President Goodluck Jonathan of having a pro-corrupt body language, but the same APC in their own wisdom has turned a blind eye to the numerous allegations against their leader Bola Tinubu which bothers on enriching himself at the expense of the Lagos indigens and residents, APC is yet to call for his investigation and prosecution. A group known as The True Face of Lagos in 2009 sent petition to the Lagos State House against APC Governor Fashola, which bothers on corruption. Fashola and Tinubu settled, the LSHA swept the petition under the rug. APC never called for thorough investigation. APC accused Jonathan of being insensitive for buying extra Presidential jet, but said nothing with respect to the Private Jet bought by APC Governor Amaechi with Rivers State funds. In contrast to President Jonathan, Amaechi registered the said Jet as a privately owned. We are yet to hear APC call on the government to investigate and prosecute APC Chieftain Atiku Abubakar and Navigator Obasanjo that were indicted by the Senate for the diversion of PTDF money. The Buhari Question The APC Presidential Candidate Muhammadu Buhari is not left out in this double standard. As Head of State in 1984, he jailed Ambrose Ali for donating N300,000 to his party as Governor of old Bendel State. Ironically, the same General Buhari in January received a Presidential Campaign bus from Imo State Governor Okorocha, with smiles on his face. The bus is estimated to worth 50 Million Naira Their Cover The APC as a party with their fans is ready to shout “PROPAGANDA” whenever issues that is unfavorable is raised against them. Whenever they can't hold to an argument, they will shout “Go To Court”. When you go to court, they will shout “PDP and GEJ are bribing people to go to court”. They will also shout “PDP and Jonathan have bought a judge to deliver lawsuits against the APC”. This does not include the vile, bitterness and venom that they are ready to give anybody with dissenting views. Jonathan More Prepared and Favoured While the PDP candidate President Goodluck Jonathan is touring the whole Federation, meeting with religious leaders, traditional leaders, pressure groups, the youths, opinion formers and leaders, to get endorsements and also reach out to the grass-root who forms the legitimate electorates, the APC Candidate was busy holidaying in London. Posting pictures with Tony Blair (who has no electoral value as long as Nigeria election is concerned). His supporters and party also took to social media jubilation just because he delivered a speech in London, and to audience without PVCs/TVCs. One begins to wonder whether the average electorate in the rural areas is concerned about what goes on in a Chatham House that is in London. In the South West region, the PDP/Jonathan has secured the endorsement of Afenifere, O’odua Peoples Congress, the Accord Party (which is formidable in Oyo State), The Social Democratic Party, which has his strength in Ogun and Oyo States and the darkhorse Labour Party. The APC has also been shouting and accusing eminent Nigerians and clergy men of being bribed. They accused Pastors, Traditional rulers in the North and South, they accused youths (bloggers) and are ready to accuse anyone that leaves their camp. These acts unknown to them further alienate prospective electorates from them. One of their timeline is “Nigerians minds are made up”, but they won’t tell you when they went to the streets to ask Nigerians whether or not they have made up their mind for Buhari and APC. To them, whatever they think and feel irrespective of its logic- whether rational or warped is irrelevant. As long as “#TheyHaveDecided”, Nigerians have automatically decided. The latest of their ignorant celebration is the return of Buhari from his rest in London. One begins to wonder whether these people understand what it means to really influence electorates and not just assume on behalf of the electorates. AIT at present is running a documentary on their leader, which is embarrassing and damaging to their already damaged electoral misfortune. While they come online to shout propaganda, Nigerians are watching in their homes, and opinions are being shaped(their admittance or otherwise is irrelevant) So far, the APC has not shown anything worthy of our thumb other that launching both legitimate and illegitimate media attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan and of recent his wife. If the APC insist that Nigerians minds are made up, I have to tell them that Nigerians minds are made up to reject fraudulent broom wavers at the polls. However, we shall all meet at the polling booths to iron that out. Finally, my sincere advice to the APC is that they should be the change they preach. If they are not ready to embrace change themselves, they should forget about coming to power to “change” the system- whether in 2015, 2019 or 2043, because #NeverAgain shall Nigerians fall for propaganda.

Enough of all these lies about APC presidential candidate buhari and his vice...buhari is dead, buhari is sick, buhari has no certificate, buhari want to islamized Nigeria, osinbajo is a figure head, tinubu is the real vice president, tinubu is corrupt. Enough of all these lies, PDP what your manifesto they start defamatory statement I think Nigerians are educated enough not to believe all these lies. What do u expect from a political party without manifesto, without ideology and without vision. Up till now, PDP did not have a manifesto for 2015, nothing to offer for Nigerians, what a political party. Nothing for Nigerians just sharing Nigeria's money to buy our vote nothing to promise and some fools who said they are educated continue to follow these people that are in PDP. Check their life, is it Mimiko that has no integrity that changes political party like clothes. People call him political harlot, presently he has not constructed a single road both in Akure and Ondo he fooled us all in Ondo state. Fayose that stay inside the cell of EFCC through out his tenure when he was first elected as the governor, is it Bode George or Alamisia. You know them If not for the type of political menace we are in Nigeria, you don't come out of prison after you are being convict of stealing or killing like Omisore and Fayose to become a worthy person never in Yoruba land. Should we continue to suffer in the hand of people that have no manifesto in 2015 election that put us into the slavery for 16years? Should the majority of the people begin to suffer in the hand of the people that said stealing is not corruption, you can still remember the power to the people to give us electricity, how is our electricity today are we progressive at all? I want you to ask yourself, do I still use generator and buy oil and gas at higher price in 2015? when the vision is 2010 before Jack Robinson 2020 will come nothing will change in Nigeria if we don't change this bad government, this is an opportunity for the oppressed to change Nigeria for the better. when we are the owner of the petroleum and we still suffer for it in our own land and some peoples spend all the money and say stealing is not corruption, and some Nigerians still support these people, they are being blindfolded by money that they use to buy their vote. But before u sell your vote, if you still run on generator in your house 16 years back till today and you still buy fuel at higher price and you have a graduate at home without a reasonable job please vote change because PDP is a party without vision,goals, manifesto and ideology in 2015. For me and my family we will try in our best to change Nigeria for the better. Vote positive change. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Op, your submission is neither patriotic nor nonpartisan. You see, this election is not about Tinubu nor the APC, it's about the failures of GEJ! If I may ask, why not arrest Tinubu and prosecute him if you already possess enough 'evidence' to nail him? And why wait till days before election? That GEJ's government, given kilograms of 'incriminating evidence' to prosecute Tinubu, refused to arrest him further projects the president as consistently failing in his duties. So what is nonpartisan or patriotic about lending support to a government that refuses to prosecute 'criminals'! Perhaps you haven't realized yet, many that will vote GMB don't give a hoot about APC, they only want GEJ out! 11 Likes 1 Share |
