WITH a month to the inauguration of an All
Progressives Congress (APC) federal
government, the street partying to celebrate the
sweeping success of the nation’s most
successful opposition party in history is winding
down. Now is the time to tackle the challenges
of success.


The question on our lips today is: can the APC
survive the two tests of its manhood which lie in
wait for it? Between May 29th 2015 and May
28th 2019, the incoming ruling party will be
sorely tested with two challenges: (1) power
sharing at the outset of its reign and (2) the
struggle for the party’s tickets towards the end
of the tenure. How will the APC fare? Continue...
The party’s supporters and enthusiasts will
answer right away by saying the APC has
already conquered the biggest obstacles of
forging a successful merger of parties and
unseating the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP). But it needs to be noted here that
capturing power is one thing, keeping it is yet
another.



PDP collapsed because it could no longer
maintain the internal cohesion necessary for
continuation as a ruling party. It had little or no
problem with power sharing, but the integrity
could no longer be maintained in the struggle for
its tickets in 2015. If the APC wishes to last
long as a ruling party, these two elements must
be satisfied, in addition to good governance, of
course.



There are some danger signals that, once you
see them manifesting within the APC, then you
can start a mental countdown to the end of its
reign. One of them is political greed.


That was one of the factors that led PDP to
failure. The Party thought that the larger its size
the more invincible it would be at the polls. This
was the factor that made former President
Olusegun Obasanjo to ensure that the opposition
was not allowed to stand on a firm footing.


Eventually, many opposition party leaders
dumped their parties, jumped into PDP and some
of them even got prestigious posts at all levels.
PDP was reduced to a free-for-all bazaar.
The upshot was that there were too many
interests, and once they could not be satisfied,
they automatically turned around to constitute
internal opposition in the PDP.


If you check the history of the PDP as a ruling...
