The APC which seems to be the main opposition to the PDP in Nigeria has for sometime now been vigorously pushing for the ousting of President Jonathan and his administration in the next general elections and they will need the votes of the general public. They’ve been doing some convincing to the people who are undecided, now regarded with the somewhat derogatory term of “fencist”. Right now, I find myself sitting down wondering about some important issues. My questions are based on these points.

Body Language: In the last Presidential elections, the APC (or if you like ACN) had a candidate to run against the president and just hours before the election, they allegedly dumped him for reasons best known to them. This singular act shows them as unserious and some might even say they are just in the race for running sake. In my opinion, the greatest damage done by that singular act was to their supporters and of course the candidate, AIG Nuhu Ribadu (rtd). After all the resources and funds put into a campaign you chicken out in the end and leave your people to dry? It speaks volume as they have set a precedence of them being unserious.

Candidates: I am not comfortable with some presidential candidates the APC brought. Buhari, Atiku etc are not what I will call presidential materials either based on past mismanagement of funds or being a dictator to human right abuses. Why not others? How come more people are not opting to contest and seek office? Must we be saddled with the same old people? Yes we know people like Kwankwoso and Rochas contested in the primary but still it was evident from the start that it was a battle between Buhari and Atiku. Atiku was third (which remains a shocker)

Insecurity: This is another problem. We all admit that this is a problem for all Nigerians but has the APC done enough to fight it? Have they shown support towards fighting this scourge that has left thousands dead, about a million displaced and also fear in the heart of a lot of Nigerians? What has the APC done to support the fight apart from endless criticism? Have APC brought out or proffered solutions to fighting this? The killing of members of the NYSC in the North after the elections comes to mind. Some may say that most of the perpetrators were CPC supporters but they have joined the ACN to form APC, so APC should please answer. Statements: This is another point that has been scary (well to me). A lot of statements credited to top members of the APC has not been comfortable ones. I find it careless and annoying the statements I hear and sometimes, I fear they can cause war.

Notable amongst these statements is the threat by the Director-General of their Presidential campaign, Governor Rotimi Amaechi that a parallel government will be formed if they lose. Does anyone remember that this kind of action led to the arrest and detention of Chief MKO Abiola?

Political Prostitution: It is difficult seeing a candidate scream XYZ today and tomorrow screams ABC. Most of the members of the APC were once in the opposition which they labelled as thieves and corrupt. Look at the case of Ekiti where Segun Oni joined the APC. That is a move that shocked even me because everyone remember the propaganda war he had with Fayemi before the courts declared in Fayemi’s favor. Endless Criticisms: Okay so the APC plays the role of an opposition party well. Yes they know how to criticize everything this administration does when campaigning but is that what their campaigns are about? I am tired of hearing what the other guys are going, what do you have for us. When you criticize, you need to also give solutions so you don’t seem to be just doing it because you can or because you are against them. The APC and PDP are both agents of Nigeria’s development right but how about saying what the government is doing right and then when you say what they are doing wrong, tell them what they should have done.

Future Plans: What does the APC have for us? What are their ideas, what will they do about security, poverty, electricity, mortality rate. Education etc. No one is talking about this or they are not talking about it enough. It seems to be a case of making a lot of noise but not really saying anything.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.

I have decided.

One question.........


Plz write a composition on these......

Why should I vote for PDP

Your point would matter more, u wid av to be on the defensive side rather Dan pointing accusing fingers to an untested government of CHANGE

Mod I'm already third on comment watch me making first to comment. GEL my Manchi

See this guy O°˚˚˚
Yu want those guys who insulted Barcanista to come down heavily on yu??

Well let grab ma seat and a bowl of popcorn wit ma glass of Nutri C cos I kno the children of hate and anger will surely come here and give yu the Barcanista treatment.

APC are empty barrels. The party is filled wit thieves and never do well. Their gathering to oust GEJ will not work. Never. They hav nothing to offer jus to grab power and share the oil blocks among themselves.

Anyway, let them gather, it's still gonna be GEJ till 2019.

Op, it seems you have made up your mind on why you won't vote for APC. But for me, i would say it's better alternative. Everyone has his/her own choice to make. Vote wisely!

ydass:
Senseless post.

I jus wanna believe yu didn't go thro the OP's post. That is hw yu idiooots fail WAEC and forge certificate like ur master Buhari.

Even mynd44 don port

Nairaland apc is dead #facts

Well as for me

It's always Gej till 2019

You don't have to vote for APC or anybody for that matter. If you are happy with the way the country has been governed over the past 15 years and especially the last 5, you are free to vote to continue down the path the country is currently on. Others want to try something different. It is called democracy and that is why we have elections.

Why not address these issues first?

Sure everyone does but why should I be campaigned to vote APC?

OP u areally in hot soup for daring to question the "anti-corruption APC "

The amount of curse their attack dogs will heap on u is doing press up.

U have been paid will be their new sing song.

Let me stay aside and Watch my prophecy fulfilled

I expect APC supporters who intend to make comments here to either address the topic or keep quiet if they have no reasonable input rather than attacking the OP as they have always done to those who dared to raise questions about their party in the past few days.

It is common sense that if you need someone's support, you have to give credible reasons why that person should support you.

It shouldn't be ''support us or face our wrath''
That only drives people away from you.

We have for long seen the APC what it truly is- an anti-GEJ alliance; but it shall fail.

The APC believes it's only when it's in Aso Rock that it can proffer solution to any of our woes, especially Boko Haram. To them everything is politics. They are not willing to support the current administration in any way whatsoever! That's the APC for you.

There's no way I can join in the broom waving group! No way.

OP, expect some sulphur from the broom wavers this morning. ...

Oh my God, not again!

Obiageli see your life? Ye stop to dey suck this nigga coccckkk em don get emself back

@op valid point, but my problem is why now? Your reasons are why so many refuse to support the criminal and certificateless party, why did it take you this long?

Can't believe this day will come





Here to see how it goes

Notable amongst these statements is the threat by the Director-General of their Presidential campaign, Governor Rotimi Amaechi that a parallel government
will be formed if they lose. Does anyone remember that this kind of action led to the arrest and detention of Chief MKO Abiola?

That's the only quote of insecurity that the OP could come up with.......

But, when Doyin okupe says they will never allow GMB to take over(even if he wins) that its not acceptable to them, what does that means

When his PA says that for GMB to come on board, the would rather allow for the military to take over..... What does that mean and entails


Am sure if you are looking for APC program and manifesto..... You would have known their plans for all the points you did highlight

Thank u.

Buhari could have made name as a retired general if He offered solution on How to end d insurgency, He attends the executive session but keeps mute, no contribution to help d country u aspire to rule

But goes around using d insecurity as campaign points. That if He us elected insurgency will end, without telling us How He intends to achieve that, what d present govt is doing wrong and How He will right them.

My conclusion is that APC is all about grabbing power at all cost not about any silly change

Lalasticlala, ngwakwe fp please

Your prophecy is coming late. Someone already prophesied the op will be next after banicansta, I can't remember the persons user name, but today I start to respect nlanders, we have many prophet here.

I think donphillous is warming up.

APC supporter's mentality: Rob them today wearing white,then come back tomorrow wearng blue and tell them you are the police and they will all scream CHANGE!!. SMH

You're indeed welcome.

I used to tacitly support the APC till I finally saw their narrow interests, and I shifted ground.

The APC is banking on the failure of GEJ on BH to garner support for their cause; giving any meaningful advice to the President on tackling BH will make his government more credible-something they cant wish to happen.

Its all about grabbing power at all costs. Nothing more.

The bigger question is why support either PDP or APC, they are indistinguishable, 2 cheeks of the same butt.

But Why is buhari always left in d cold at d dying minute despite the huge cosmetic cover up and window dressing on his person this time by apc handlers. I must say they tried a lot in masking buhari just that no matter d amount of perfume used on d local he-goat, the odor will never be suppressed bc the source of d odour is internal.

Buhari can not be marketed to Nigerians, He is a bad product.

mynd44 set to decamp........
Gej till 2050

You mean Tinubu, Obj and Atiku now shouting change?


This APC you are exposing, kai diaris god o

THANK YOU MYND FOR THIS EYES OPENING THREAD

Mynd44:

Sure everyone does but why should I be campaigned to vote APC?

Its just like asking why you should vote the Democratic party over the Republican party in the US? Who cares? For the records, more politicians have crossed from the Democrats to GOP and vice-versa than any two party in history.

What a lot of you posters here don't know is that at the birth of democracy, history has shown that a lot of politicians cross - carpet until each party forms an unspoken ideology.

There was the Federalist Party, Jeffersonian Party, National Republican Party, Whig Party - all these won presidential elections way before the formation of the Democrats & GOP that we now have in the US. So if our 16year old democracy can give us 2 strong political parties to choose from, and I've experienced one for those years with little to show for it, why not give the other a try?

I believe alot of you here are cheapstakes, easy to buy, one dime a dozen, that you flip as soon as PDP throws bone at you. So I won't be surprised if the OP becomes the latest mongrel.
