See What An Apc Lawyer Has To Say About Buhari. by bnovative(m): 10:58pm On Jan 07, 2016 |
Fidel Albert is a lawyer who has handled a lot of court cases for apc, and he wrote this: I am APC through and through. At least as of today. I detest the PDP and what they stood for the past 16 years. I cannot touch the PDP with a ten meter pole. But i would be mad to imagine that the APC is that Bethsaida Pool, or even the River of Jordan, that enjoys the fellowship of angels who trouble its waters, and instantly heals every soul that is diseased, once they are immersed as members. I have no such delusion. Nor do i imagine every member of PDP to have been evil. Some people did excellently either as PDP members or as serving in the successive PDP governments. On the other hand, there are questions regarding the integrity of several APC chieftains that have not been properly answered till this very day. But because we imagine the APC to be the River of Jordan, and this people are the gatekeepers, we conclude therefore that their leprous souls have been healed. But i have no such delusions. The other day, I thought myself good- natured to wish Goodluck Jonathan a happy birthday on facebook. I did this because despite being his opponent politically, and actively campaigning against him, i recognized that he did this country a great service by conceding defeat at the polls, deflating the palpable tension and deflecting what was an imminent crisis. I thought he deserved my gratitude for being so graceful and elegant in defeat. My friends thought i had betrayed the APC by felicitating with the man on his birthday. Only that! Such hypocrites. Where was i again when Fayemi lost to Fayose in 2014 and called to congratulate Fayose. The entire APC hierarchy went mad! How could he dare? How can he concede defeat? What impudence! APC never conceded defeat in that election. As a matter of fact, APC challenged that election right up to the Supreme Court, and lost all the way. But guess what? Fayemi, the candidate, was not joined as a party to the petition. He was left out of the fray. So, for those who said conceding defeat was a common place gesture and should not be commended, do not forget APC's reaction in 2014, in the Ekiti election. Do not also forget that this country was boiling in 2015, and boiling hot, and GEJ's action alone was, in my view, responsible for diffusing that tension. Can we forget so easily how crowded MM International Airport was, with people scratching and clawing to get out before the polls? So many people relocated from Nigeria. I even recall a friend of mine, whose child was born in the US, receive a call from the American embassy that they wanted their Citizen, his child, out of Nigeria before the elections. Who can deny the prevailing sentiments of that period? It would seem the politics of Nigeria is "either or." So i can't be caught talking to a PDP member if i am in APC and vice versa. Or no matter what, I must demonise everything PDP and eulogise everything APC. I cannot do that. Where GEJ did well, I'll give him credit. Where Buhari fails, I'll be the first to criticize him. Maybe i'm not Nigerian. I do not imagine Buhari to be God. At least he is not my GOD. He is not above reproach. He is not beyond criticism. In any event, I am naturally iconoclastic. My congenital tendency is to dare, where others fret. So you can understand when i say that I see nothing divine in him, except that providence made him President, against all odds. And it was for a reason. So when all economic indices are low, and I, as an ordinary man, feel the suffocating squeeze on a daily basis, and people who should be concerned are rather aimlessly defending, or inventing subterfuges, on a daily basis, because BUHARI is president, then i feel extremely sorry. I am an APC man through and through, but i wont be caught dead on that bandwagon. There is no substitute for self-examinatio n for the APC. PDP died the day it lost its conscience and could no longer take an objective view of its policies and actions. If we must survive as a party, we must be able to listen, listen hard and respond to criticism. The criticism must not always be constructive, but our response must be. We must always take the moral high road and be blameless. And the one way of ensuring that APC dies very soon, is to set up and worship a mere mortal as god, before whom we must all fall in obeisance and ask no questions. Once we've been able to set up a cult personality in Buhari and momentarily convulse in blind rage anytime he is criticized, then we are ready to die, as PDP died. So, when the Army kills and maims, at the slightest provocation and you say Buhari is right, a piece in us dies. When a Court grants bail and someone uses executive fiat to unconstitutionally detain suspects in custody, and you say Buhari is right, another piece dies. When socialist policies are introduced into a free market economy with the immediate effect that i can no longer pay for goods abroad, or access my hard-earned cash abroad, or even freely trade internationally and you say Buhari is right, yet another piece dies. We will continue to die, i assure you, in installments, piece after piece, as we insist on living in self-denial, till it becomes difficult to know the exact place, time and occasion we indeed died. Recently, I had the ultimate embarrassment in Dubai Mall where i went shopping. I had parked several items to the counter and confidently whipped out my card to make payment. When the figures were punched in, alas my card was blocked. A message came on the POS machine "do not honor purchases on this card." And the Arabs looked at me funny. What? For what offence? I have never served in Government or stolen Government funds. But my president cast his anti-corruption net too wide and now has a quarry of both fishermen and fishes in his net. Let the fishermen go, and let the fishes fry. The law, as implemented, must be able to distinguish both. Or not? Let me say that given the short duration of his government, Buhari has done extremely well in some areas. And I commend him for this. Electricity is near constant now. This is phenomenal. And I don't share the sentiments of the deluded GEJites, who would be quick to say GEJ put together the structure. Buhari has fixed, or shall i say is fixing, power. That is a good thing. The PDP government could not achieve this in 16 years. The war on corruption is also splendid. My only misgiving is that it seems a bit one-sided. Only prominent PDP members. There has to be one person in APC, defunct ACN, ANPP or any other party who held power in any state in Nigeria between 1999 and 2015 who was corrupt. Who stole government funds. And i don't mean Saraki. None? That would be an absolute miracle. But let's keep looking, so that we do not entirely discredit the motive of the anti- graft campaign as being a witch-hunt exercise. Let's keep looking at and into the APC, we might just find one person and show a good example of our internal self-cleansing policy. The most critical thing now, requiring urgent attention, is the economy. The economy has to be fixed. I recognise that we met it in shambles. Everything PDP touched turned to dust, no doubt. PDP was Midas bewitched. But we cannot spend the next four years crying about how bad we met the economy. We knew how bad it was before we aspired to fix it. It was the punchline of our campaign promises. We've won the elections now. It's time to get to work. We must open up the economy instead of closing it. Lure back the investors, as they make painful detours to Ghana and Cameroun. Keep the cash flowing in the system. Give attention to education. It's a tough job, mind. But there just has to be a better way to do this than the socialist ideology that seems to be unfolding. There we are! I have had my say. Let the heavens fall. Still loyal to the APC. 16 Likes 4 Shares |

Composed write up, until the last part where he blamed PDP on the state of the economy and said "Everything PDP touches turns to dust". I beg to disagree! You praise Buhari for improved power sector only for 7 months, yet blame PDP for the poor economic state of the nation after 7 months in power. APC and hypocrisy is inseparable!!! 9 Likes |

mikolo80: Let me ask u, is it the name and structure of the party PDP that wrought havoc in Nigeria or the human members and leaders of the party? Who are the current members of APC and what are their antecedents? Is it party membership that determines capability or the innate character of the people who make up such parties? In the National Assembly that has more APC messiahs as party members, did u hear any party divide when they unanimously screamed 'nay' against a downward review of their emoluments? With all the accidents that have occurred with airplanes and vehicles, whom do u blame? The operators or the vehicle/airplane?
