TonyeBarcanista:

Which part of the article did I stand against whatever activities of the failed/dead PDP? A party that refused to even adopt a Committee report that we all praised? A party that is still controlled by godfathers and powerful heavyweights at the expense of Nigerians? Cut us some some slack boss

Modified:

Dokpesi is/was a floor member in APDA. He is not the Chairman, he is NOTHING!!!

He can associate anywhere or even leave the party, it won't stop APDA. Most of us are in APDA to ensure that we use the power of the youths and women to get what is of benefit to Nigerians and not to ass-lick any supposed Big Man.

Guy you are still a neophyte(no insult meant) in politics hence your believe there won't be godfathers in APDA. But don't worry you'll learn with time.

And if you call Dokpesi a floor member cos the push hasn't come to shove then we'll see as time goes.

But if I may ask, are you the sole founder of APDA cos this your confidence makes me wonder.

Lol.... and Jokerman opened a thread... it's like he has foreseen wat Barcanista would do....

Ehiscotch:

APDA that is another faction of PDP. LOL

Nah!!! APDA is never a faction of PDP.

Though it was formed through alliances of patriots from different segment of the society, including some that came from APC. It also adopted the report of Strategy Review and Intraparty Affairs Committee.

I am expecting you to port back to PDP soon.

TheFreeOne:
Seems the OP is afraid of losing his expected 'pot of soup' in the new APDA should PDP bounce back.

Why not continue your campaign for your newly found friends/APDA and allow PDP to settle their differences

don't mind the hypocrite
he's back from his hibernation

I stand by my assertion!!!

Like I told you, Dokpesi is a Floor Member in APDA.

HE IS Not the FOUNDER!!! APDA has no sole founder... I know how it came to be from the onset

Whynotthetruth:


He has decamped to APDA... Unfortunately for him Even Dokpesi the owner of APDA was in court to cheer PDP and he's here deluding himself Wonderful days ahead...!!!

tonye is an hypocrite
give him some weeks he would be singing for PDP

Forget story. Political parties in particular and politics in general anywhere always has the elite godfathers and gladiators as the tune dictators.

The populace aren't better than the elite morally, intellectually and economically. So, unless when one wishes to be hypocritically disingenuous, would one resort to a statement like this political party is of and for the populace.

One principled political godfather/gladiator equals the strength of a million feeble-minded populace. Major hallmark of the populace is feeble-mindedness, thus, the reason why they will always remain a pawn in the hands of political godfathers and their ilks.

So far so good, what the country need now are politicians that are proponents and practitioners of politics of principle and conviction, irrespective of political party affiliation, class, gender and tribe.

Ok I don hia.

Bro I hope you are aware it's only people with lots of money/connections that run political parties and that's where the likes of Dokpesi comes in and they'll hijack the party at the appropriate time.

Naija still operates a cash and carry political system.

The game of politics is about interest, interest ranges from that of the overall populace, a group of people, individuals etc. A close look at both the ruling APC, the Sheriff factional PDP and that of the victorious Markafi camp clearly point to the interest they all represent- The Political Elite

When you look at both the PDP and APC constitutions, they clearly tilt to favor the political elite in both parties. In fact, it is difficult (if not impossible) for an outsider to emerge candidate through a transparent process without the dictate of political gladiators or godfathers in both parties. These aspirants emerge candidates, win elections and continue to protect the same interest of the elitist group. Hence, the phrase, "All of them are the same".

Before the launch of APDA on June 5, 2017, I was of the opinion that the party is neither a PDP fall-back or a plan B for the Markafi camp, the judgement has clearly given the APDA an opportunity to affirm what they stand for as a party.

The APDA, unlike the APC and PDP, has a constitution that surrenders power to their the people. This is a party whose constitution erode delegate system to entrench direct primary system that will see all members of the party to partake in the election of party leaders, candidates and other elective representative.

The APDA as a party allows for a minimum of 25% elective and appointive slots of members of Youth age (18-35) in all public and party offices. It further state a minimum of 30% for women and 5% for people living with disabilities.

Why then should Nigeria people, youths and women continue to waste their time, resources and votes on the parties (APC, PDP) and factions (Sheriff and Markafi) that only protect the interest of the political elite at the expense of the common man?

I am very happy that PDP crises has settled and PDP political heavyweights will concentrate on their party. I am very happy that the Nigeria electorates will now have the privilege to discern that APDA as a party means business.

One truth we must tell ourselves is that, whether Markafi or Sheriff, PDP is DEAD!!! It has gone 6 feet in the Northwest, it is hopeless in the Northeast, it is the equivalent of Ebola in the Southwest, in the Southeast Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB calls the shot even when PDP controls government (due to the fact that APC is/was no option). In the Southsouth, the governments in power are as incompetent as the government at the center, the story is not different in the Northcentral.

The ruling APC has failed but the only option for Nigeria in 2019 is to embrace a party that they can be active stakeholders in determining candidates for elective positions, so as to have emergence of leaders whose loyalty will be to the Nigeria people not the political elite.



We are STRONGER TOGETHER!!!

Tonye barcanista's problem is that he talks too much. You try to rationalize things and think your position is always right. There is something called patience and political calculation. You have frolicked with various parties over time...PDP to APC to PDP to APDA... Who knows where next you would migrate to? All these whilst yet to even launch a political career! You're not known much outside Nairaland/Social media by the way. My advice, learn to be patient; learn to be circumspect; learn to keep opinions to yourself as circumstances change frequently; learn to only speak or give opinions when absolutely necessary. While you mean well, you should understand this is Nigeria, and you can't get the ideal political landscape in any party for now. I wish you the best though.

PDP knockoff ADPD or what's it called was already dead on arrival, op should look for another sponsor or better join APC

I feel your passion and admire you for that but you just need to be more circumspect bro... Talk less, observe more, and come out with better informed opinions that reinforce your position as one that truly stands for something and not as one just plotting to be among the national cake eaters. We have seen critiques of yesteryears join the political fray, and keep mum whilst busy with the cake.

These yoots are politically confused

I disagree with your stance! The Op made a strong point, all u can do is talk about his person? A party without godfathers is the first step to pragmatic solutions in this jungle!

No wonder Aisha called you guys "weaker animals"

I don't understand, Tonyebarcanista now supports APDA?
Whynotthertuth, are you seeing this.

Pls let's do our best to install a party with a very very transparent "internal democracy" we have sabotaged ourselves for too long..
