No Ideological Difference Between APC, PDP, Says Balarabe Musa by boneruns(m): 12:40pm On Oct 08, 2013 |
LEADER of opposition political parties and former Governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has said that Nigerians should not see the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the party that would transform the nation’s economy even if it succeeds in defeating the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 presidential polls. According to Musa, there is no ideological difference between the APC and PDP that would permit radical changes to be effected in the nation’s economy, which would also lead to the transformation of Nigeria. He pointed out that both political parties shared the same capitalist orientation and principles. Musa, who spoke with The Guardian in an Interview, said though the chances of APC in the 2015 general elections “is still being examined by the critical forces in Nigeria, the party has a chance but they should not just assume that the chance is bright because of the crisis and bankruptcy of the PDP, they have to make sure that they are more reliable and more relevant than the PDP.” The former governor who is also the leader of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), said that “the PRP is not a member of APC and would not be a member for ideological reasons”, while stressing that “the most clear ideological reason is this, the APC, like the PDP, believes in the leading role of private enterprise in the economy, while the PRP believes in the leading role of the state in the economy to ensure peace, equality, dignity of the human person and progressive even development of the whole country.” Musa continued: “This is a fundamental distinction. The PRP cannot join the APC without betraying its course. We agreed that there is need to defeat the PDP in order to make progress in Nigeria. But that need alone does not justify our surrender of our fundamental position. “We will eventually, when we establish our separate identity as a political party. And you know that the PRP has a problem. First, we have been deregistered, even though the court has now declared the deregistration as null and void. But, we are still facing a problem. “Secondly, we have been prized out in the competitive politics, but we are determined to remain and we will remain as we have been doing that for the last 63 years. PRP is now 63 years, having been established in 1950 as the NEPU. The party is now the oldest in the country. ” www.ngrguardiannews.com/national-news/134836-no-ideological-difference-between-apc-pdp-says-balarabe-musa- |
