Nigeria- A member of the House of Representatives, APC-Ekiti Central Federal Constituency, Mr Opeyemi Bamidele, on Sunday renounced his membership of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state. Bamidele, a governorship aspirant, explained that he decided to quit the APC and join the Labour Party in order to realise his ambition. He spoke at a news conference in Emure-Ekiti, shortly after visiting the home of his late associate, Mr Foluso Ogundare, who was killed last month by unknown gunmen Bamidele, a former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos State, said that his resolve and that of his supporters to leave the APC was borne out of the lack of internal democracy in the party. "I and my supporters are quitting the ranks of political desperadoes to embrace a new political order that will take Ekiti to new heights. "Let it be known that as I am quitting their party today, I am also giving them quit notice in Government House; I am also giving quit notice to poverty and hunger in our land.’’ In its reaction on Sunday, the state chapter of the APC said: ``We are comfortable at his exit.’’ The interim Chairman of the party, Chief Jide Awe, said that Bamidele was free to go. "We can never feel his exit,’’ he said. Awe said that it was now left for the constituency which Bamidele represented in the House of Representatives to be pro-active in its representation. |

Number 1 reason to drop APC. They are not a progressive party as they claim. They are actually... Anti Progressive Cronies Definition of Cornies: a close friend of someone; especially : a friend of someone powerful (such as a politician) who is unfairly given special treatment or favors. They don't care about poor people whatsoever! To join APC you must hate poor people especially women and children: Proof: Go and Die drama and the way that they treat children from poor backgrounds! 4 Likes 1 Share

Number 2 APC supporters always use Lagos as a benchmark for progressive leadership but as these pictures below show. Only the rich and well connected have seen progress in states ran by APC. Seen below just a short walk down the unmarked gravel street separates the relative prosperity of the city proper from Oto-Ilogbo Extension, a literal and figurative wasteland littered with the castaway people, trash and brutal downside of unrestrained oligarchic capitalism.

biafranqueen: Number 1 reason to drop APC. Deeply inside you, you don't believe the poo you wrote. Just because Oshiohmole said barbaric thing that many people; irrespective of party have condemned, yet you are writing poo here. Do you want me to show you pictures of Anambra improvished children and indegenes? May be you will come back to your senses that the picture you showed has nothing to do with APC. The pictures only show Nigeria as a whole. 80% of Nigeria looks that way. 5 Likes |

Very good for the democracy of Ekiti. This should persuade the governor to do more or get kicked out in 2014 and let better candidate fill in his space. More so, the state won't be returning to the likes of Fayoshe and other ex-convict politicians in the backward and parasitic party formally ruling the state. |

biafranqueen: Number 1 reason to drop APC. I've already expressed my disdain for Oshiomole's conduct. But is PDP better in its treatment of the poor? At least that Oshi man is only in charge of one state. PDP had been in charge of the (executive branch of the) country for eons! But, since you injected that Labour Party idea, OP, tell us more about Labour Party of Nigeria's platform.  P.S. Anyway, this is addressed to Berem.

Number 3 on the top 10 List of why no human being with a heart should be an APC APC is notorious for kicking poor Nigerians to the curb as was seen in the Anambra deportation saga. Lets not stop with them they also have treated Yoruba people like trash as well evicting them from the only homes they could afford without giving them any where else to live. Below you will see Bimbo Omowole Osobe, one of the thousands of folks who were evicted from Lagos, Nigeria's Badia East slum in February, tells her tragic story at a LAMCOFOR meeting in Ebute-Metta as the organization’s leader, Prince Samuel Aiyeymi (standing in back), looks on. 1 Like

MOB left the APC where he is guaranteed a position to contest for governors after Fayemi to go to a LP where he is not even sure he will win the primaries.......please note that Fayose is more popular than MOB and when he ran for a senatorial position, he lost. This reminds me of Jimi Agbaje and the Gubernatorial elections in Lagos. Well lets see how far this can take him. But he will have to be very very very convincing to win against Fayemi in the gubernatorial elections. And OP, please stop posting stuff about Ekiti cos you dont know much about the state ooo take a look at this post https://www.nairaland.com/1133476/nairalands-e-channel#13708039 the Ekiti state government is one of the most responsive government in NIGERIA and despite being one of the least earning state, there are loads of developmental projects.

sincerenigerian: APC is recognized as a merger of pre-existing institutions. If First Bank merges with Zenith does that nullify any existing obligations the two banks had before the merger? Don't answer. So also does the merger not excuse the anti-democratic process inherent in both the ACN and CPC prior to the merger. 5 Likes |

Mynd_44: Since the two parties are regional it then clearly shows how anti-democratic these regions are weather PDP, ACN or whatever. I have made an observation of Nigerians and how they respond to authority. The regions which fare under authoritarian rule are those regions which had and still do a strong monarchical system in place. A good example is the Binis. When it comes to socio-political issues the Obas words are final. Seeking his endorsement is thus mandatory for any would be aspirant in that state. Some how the more control these traditional monarchs have over these segment of people the more docile they are. The system is self maintaining as a relatively powerful individual in the past once subjugated a population under his control. The position then got more powerful as the people were oppressed and the docility and sheepish nature was cultivated within the populace. So in a nut shell, strong traditional monarchical systems are a barrier to the evolution of equity and democracy. |

Reason number 4 to drop APC like a worm infested broom - They claim to be Socialist, Progressive. they do not believe in what they stand for, they can not be trusted and the leaders have shown to be notorious criminals which will be shown in reason number 5 Definition of Socialist: In the Marxist theory of historical materialism, it is predicted that further advances in technology and the productive forces will give rise to a more advanced stage of development referred to as communism, a society in which classes and the state are no longer present, and there is access abundance to final goods, and thus distribution is based on to each according to his need. As the pictures have shown you they do believe in classism so they are not true to the ideology that they stand for. Definition of Progressive: Progressivism is a general political philosophy based on the Idea of Progress that asserts that advances in science, technology, economic development, and social organization, can improve the human condition Below in Makoko, a slum of houses on stilts in central Lagos Quote from a father in the area “We spend 20 naira [15 cents] to buy water every couple of days and divide the electricity bill between a few families,” said Merunu. “There isn’t enough money left over to send the kids to school.” http://www.irinnews.org/report/60811/nigeria-lagos-the-mega-city-of-slums

At least Tinubu and APC should have allowed Bamidele to contest in a free and fair primary election. He's not saying APC should choose him ahead of Fayemi but that he wants to contest the primaries. Is that too much to ask for? APC has to start practicing internal democracy if they're truly the progressives they claim to be. I think Bamidele has seen that he has no future in APC hence the need to decamp to a Labour party that's gaining grounds in the Ondo/Ekiti axis. |

Afam4eva:Whatever agreements the party and their cronies have is there business. And I dont have any problem with MOB leaving the APC, if you feel like somewhere is not satisfying your goals, you can move, decamp or Port. But please be corrected, LP ain't gaining grounds in Ekiti. The soul of Ekiti is still between the APC and PDP. These two parties still holds the aces. Even Fayose who happens to be one of the most popular politician in Ekiti has finally realised this and left the LP. LP is only popular in Ondo and it ends there. 4 Likes |
