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.

it's only you and your God know exactly where your loyalty resides?

exactly wats he's saying..... cuz he's APC shouldn't talk well of PDP no wonder he said "if he's a Nigerian?"

Dis is wot I call objective reasoning. A quality very scarce among men, especially in Nigeria.

Watching in 3D.... It's a crime now criticize the government.... Nigeria =North Korea

Recently, I was chatting with a very close friend who is serving in the APC government. The chat was flowing well until I asked if the continuous fall of the Naira against the $ and barring people from accessing their funds were part of government economic revival strategy. The moment I dropped that chat, he read it but stopped chatti

On point @op majorly! You only did a bit appropriation however, the ultimate submission is that change is a charade and apc a scam. As for buhari nigerians won't worship him except his zombies and thankfully they are shrinking!!!!!

name the objective reasons.

e be like say una never suffer reach under pdp, anyway you can move to pdp states if you're convinced they are best. benue state comes to mind. o I forgot, they rejected pdp there too.

God bless the womb that begot this one. We need people like this in this country, not people omenke, beremx et all that will support buhari even if he is killing their children.

Well... PDP bleeped Nigeria and plunged it into less joy and much sorrows however d funny thing dat amazes me is the people dat make up the APC now... they are back to Bleep Nigeria times 2...and dats y until Buhari clears his own home, he is just wasting his time.....
Most annoying is paid sycophants who have sold deir birthrights for a plate of food like Esau...
Developed countries follow d rule of law and obey d rules and constitution of its Motherland buh wat we see today.. na wa...
A country where there is no truth... where you support any misdeed by ur leaders because dey are frm ur party..

ur reasoning is so dull like powder coming out from my grandmas breast...

Beautiful write up but wait until the APC social media change agent pounce in yourhen you will understand mum is the word. We ate in a one chance government, semi military and semi civilian.

uchejames2:

so basically you've got no argument, just insults. obviously grandma failed to raise up her child well and they've now passed the torch to you. pity your children abeg and don't teach them what will get them lynched

it will never make FP

I'm not complaining, most third world countries that later developed, were transformed by the military into developing ones

May ruthless thunder fire any PAID poster that will condemn what this man said.

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!!!

mikolo80:
so basically you've got no argument, just insults. obviously grandma failed to raise up her child well and they've now passed the torch to you. pity your children abeg and don't teach them what will get them lynched

I can't believe that one person can be these senseless. why can't pretend to have a single sense?

upon the whole article, you can't even comprehend a thing from it. chai, bros, you too dull.

While some people are just

This. One is a displaced APC fellow

What I understand from the "dogo turanci" long grammar is that all u need to be a good leader in Nigeria is to loot the treasury dry and simply accept defeat on election u failed

What a country!!!

Some ppl don turn this thread to headies.

mikolo80:

u re jux too blind..... Who gave license for u to own d phone u re holding ryt now

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? If the same person handles a v-boot recklessly will he suddenly become a better driver because he now handles a Toyota?
