Goodbye APC by Tofax: 10:03pm On May 28, 2015
One of the greatest benefit of the Jonathan loss is that Nigeria has also
lost an opposition in the manner of the APC. Its a great day for our
country to be free of an opposition party that elevated opposition to
government to the level of opposition to nation.

I will not wish my enemy an opposition like the APC. I even pray that the
PDP will not form the kind of opposition that the APC represented. Here
was an opposition that opposed virtually everything. I pray their body
chemistry is reprogrammed thoroughly so they don’t oppose themselves when
they get into office.

The APC equally elevated Jonathan denigrating to almost Nigeria
denigrating. They groomed social media hirelings and mentored thousands of
muck rakers. It was the APC that re-defined patriotism to mean how much
and how hard you can lash out at the President. Young men and women formed
comrades of fellowship and bonded together in muck raking. Anything dished
out by a comrade is liked, retweeted and shared, at times without even
reading true.

On one hand, they were asking the President to grant amnesty to
terrorists, on the other hand they were accusing him of being too soft on
the terrorists, then they asked him to pull out the JTF from the north
east and then condemned the state of emergency , while exciting themselves
with angry lashes each time a bomb tore lives and limbs. I’ve never seen
these kind of demon possessed opposition before. you can never do anything
right in their sight.

If a train derails from its cause, it serves their purpose, if a plane
crashes, it gives them the needed adrenaline,if bombs goes off, it helps,
even when Nigeria loses a football match, you’d hear taunts of mockery
from their social media hirelings and propitiators.

It must have been a nightmare for President Jonathan. The man is even
built with reinforced steel to even be forcing smiles and moving like all
its well. It even took him great guts to think of contesting again. They
had troubled him weary and worn him out completely.

A huge example is the Baga story. When our soldiers retreat in battle and
called it tactical manoeuvre, they were scorned and referred to as  as
Jonathan’s army of cowards. When the army saboteurs are identified and
court marshalled, the opposition will openly align with the soldiers and
give them some morale. Then when the soldiers struck Baga with equal
veracity, pictures of mass destruction and genocide were released to the
international community. Videos of fake soldiers beheading civilians were
shared, then the United States pushed their Leahy law and we got into
serious trouble getting the right equipments for the war.

The day I knew what this party has done on our psyche was the day we were
launching the Support Our Troops Against Terrorists ( SOTAT) program in
portharcourt. I am privileged to have very close friends and brothers who
both belong to the APC and PDP. When I spoke to one of my close
lieutenants about the idea of SOTAT, he said ‘Oga, this your SOTAT na
Jonathan support oo, but anyhow we go follow you”. I smiled, but I was
petrified inside me. So supporting a federal institution like the armed
forces was seen as supporting Jonathan. That was the depth at which we
have gotten to in opposition.

In the next 24 hours, the APC will lose the impetus and ability to spread
gory tales about Nigeria. They will now applaud any international firm
that refers to Nigeria as an emerging economy. They will encourage
investors to come in and down play the past magnifying of Boko Haram. They
won’t applaud any quack Ghanaian professor, or any US senator, or South
African President who insults our President. They will lose the urge to
focus on our challenges rather than our strength.

As General Buhari takes over in the next few hours, I celebrate the
extinction of the essence that characterises the APC. I pray the PDP
doesn’t pick up that demonic spirit. I pray the PDP forms a shadow
government, appoint shadow minister for each ministry and criticise
constructively by proffering alternative solutions where necessary and
applauding where it is necessary.

I pray we don’t get our youths to mock economic policies like the Cassava
Bread by using it as an object of caricature. I pray that we stop
politicking now and resume in 2018.

I pray that we begin the process of re-orientation immediately. Jekwu
Ozoemene​ has often mesmerised me with his theory of Citizen
Leadership. The concept of let the citizens lead. The concept of
individual responsibility. The concept of knowing your responsibilities as
much, or much more than you know your right. An ideology that breeds the
triumph of nationalism and dwindles the triumph of politics.

Today I bid good bye to the APC. We will never have this type again.

God bless Nigeria.

Another senseless TANoid rant

Lamentations till 2019
Re: Goodbye APC by Gbawe: 10:13pm On May 28, 2015
Why can't these TANdroid losers, PDP drones and Jonathanian painbots ever conduct themselves like real men and show a little dignity? Why all these effeminate lamentations all over the place? I am surprised these people still have the nerve to talk with all the serious economic trouble Nigeria is in today because of the abysmal misrule of GEJ and his PDP Party. Shameless people.
