It was literary guru and eminent academic, Prof. Okey Ndibe,[/i] who formally broached the issue weeks before the national conventions of Nigeria’s two major political parties were held by arguing in an article published last month that the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC)[i] is the same as the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

He wrote, “PDP and APC are kindred spirits, two parties beset by ideological aridity and most of their prominent figures fueled by the same contemptible idea that politics is, above all, a means for accumulating riches. Why else do they hire thugs, kill or maim their opponents, betray all lofty principles, submit themselves to the most diabolical rites. It is certainly not to serve Nigerians.”



This postulation elicited a prompt response from the Publicity Secretary of the APC in Lagos State, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, who vehemently rejected the lumping of the two parties as one, describing such position as “a vintage PDP propaganda since they can no longer explain what they did with sixteen years oil windfall.” He continued in a riposte that “Nigeria is wrecked and damaged and no one knows where to head. Poverty is rife, impunity is overwhelming, infrastructures are decayed…

With this dreary picture and with the reality of being swept off power, PDP came with the insidious propaganda that it is the same with APC, the party that stands the greatest chance of seeing it out of power. With this, PDP wants to level the ground and make Nigeria’s case incurable.”


According DAILY POST will resist the temptation of providing insight into fall outs from the primaries on both sides, lest it influences your voting pattern. However, we will still go ahead to ask if from what you have seen so far or heard of the two major parties in Nigeria…

If I am to use the principle of show me your friends and I will tell you who you are, I know the set of friends from those two groups I will be willing to show off during the day, especially if there are foreigners present.

PDP, POWER to the PEOPLE!!!

One party has an intelligent and strong man as its presidential candidate and the other has a guy in skirt as its presidential candidate.
