PDP Is Not An Alternative To ACN by OAM4J: 4:53am On Oct 21, 2011
[size=13pt]PDP not alternative[/size]

THE Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) yesterday gave reasons the rival Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cannot be the alternative to Governor Babatunde Fashola-led administration in the Centre of Excellence.It said the PDP has nothing to show for its hold on power at the federal level for more than 12 years.

Speaking through its spokesman, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, the party described as unfortunate that some elements within the opposition have been trying to discredit the Fashola administration by highlighting only the roads that are yet to be fixed in the state.

According to a statement signed by the ACN publicity secretary, many new roads have been built and rehabilitated under the ACN-controlled administration than under any PDP-controlled state, especially in the Southwest.

He said the party’s dismal performance explained the rejection of the PDP in all the six states in the zone at theApril polls, assuring that the ACN will replicate what it has done in Lagos to justify the overwhelming mandate it got from the people during the April elections.

Igbokwe wondered why the PDP chose to be blind to the development of roads that are on-going across the state, even as he reminded that the contract with the electorate was to attend to the roads one after the other.

Any further proof needed that the moderators are card-carrying ACN propagandists? Seun, is it right that your moderators cannot remain neutral, and would seek to represent some political interests on this forum, while the rest of us count on their neutrality? WE NEED A PDP MODERATOR TOO O!!!

^-- I guess I should have realized you are a PDP Yoruba.

Given that you party has been a tremendous failure in the SW, then why should anyone view it as an alternative, at this point in time?

If your party was even making efforts to reform itself, I could understand. But it is not.

We cannot afford incompetents and mediocrities in the SW.
Re: PDP Is Not An Alternative To ACN by ektbear: 10:14am On Oct 21, 2011
I'm not even an ACN member. But you have to put the interests of your state/people above that of your party.

PDP in the SW seems like they want power by any means, not necessarily to improve the lot of the people. Until that changes, good look winning elections.

Why do you need PDP moderator when you have PDP owner?

PDP cannot topple an ACN government in Lagos state anytime soon. They had their chance years back when Late Funsho Williams took on Tinubu. is not for the unfortunate death of Funsho Williams, he should have been the current Lagos state Governor.

Joe Igbokwe is not scared for Fashola, he is scared that ACN could lose massively to PDP in the forthcoming LG elections. There has been a lot of anger, fighting and killings within ACN over the imposition of candidates for the Lagos LG elections. Just this week, several were killed at an ACN rally.

. . .[size=14pt]hundreds of aggrieved members of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN[/size], yesterday,  stormed the party secretariat in Ogba, Lagos State House of Assembly, Alausa, and took to the major streets in Isolo Local Government Area to protest alleged imposition of candidates.
. . .
women and men, including traditional cult, popularly known as “Osugbo” [size=14pt]trooped to the streets to invoke evil spirits at a junction called “Orita Esu” (devil’s junction)[/size] in Isolo with various placards to show their grievances against the imposition of one Shamsudeen Olaleye, against the popular choice of Mojeed Adam as the party’s candidate for the coming council poll.

I can confirm that.

@ Topic.

Lagosians arent daft, they are well enlightened. They don't even need anyone to tell them what and which government will be good for them. Accursed, carry ur trade elsewhere.
Re: PDP Is Not An Alternative To ACN by Ifemyke: 1:18pm On Oct 21, 2011
Those that complain about ACN administration should please tell us which state under the control of other parties that can be compared to the worst of ACN states. Even those that complain of Tinubu, please check out other states and you will thank Tinubu for being the only Father figure that is yet to kill his son.Forget the make belief fights.

How was MTN behaving before Glo, Etisalat etc joined the fray? on per second billing for example!!!
Yet Econet, now Airtel was there but was not considered a viable alternative.
ACN leaders know that the people don dey see well well sey the difference between PDP and ACN is like that between six and half a dozen. Hence Joe Igbokwe is correct to say that PDP is not the alternative to ACN since they are one and the same set of looting politicians.
it is left to us to identify individuals in ANY party who may be personally credible to vote for.
Btw, do you plan to vote tomorrow in the LG elections if you are in Lagos?

All the above show how far we still have to go as a Nation. In civilised Nations the Police apprehend suspects and the Courts establish their guilt decisively. In Nigeria, thanks to a moribund Police force and an unsophisticated polity, we are happy to establish the guilt of others , even as they have never even being arrested, as if we were there ourselves when the crime occured. Truly tragic.

Re: PDP Is Not An Alternative To ACN by PointB: 4:19pm On Oct 21, 2011
There is a huge difference between PDP and ACN

PDP has internal democratic ideals, while ACN's internal democracy is next to none existent.

In other words, PDP members choose their representatives in primaries, while Tinubu is the primary (and tertiary) in ACN.
Putting your life in the hand of man, is cool if he will churn out only the Fasholas of this world. But when you start seeing ex-cultist (Amosun) or clueless vagabonds (AregbeRascal), you will begin to realise the folly of herds mentality as being advocated by ACN.
