Forget APC the party is dead

yns4real:
Ahead of their defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC), leaders of Reformed All Progressives Congress(R-APC) have tabled tough demands before the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
While some of the demands have been accepted, there are four other knotty issues yet to be settled.


The four pegs of negotiation are: conceding party structures in states to R-APC on 60 to 40 per cent basis; automatic ticket; change of PDP’s name and governorship ticket in some states.

It was learnt that members of the Board of Trustees of PDP, the National Executive Committee and National Working Committee (NWC) are opposed to the idea that the party should change its name.

State chairmen of the party were also opposed to conceding 60 per cent of the officials of ward, local government and state executive committees (SEC) of PDP to R-APC.

The PDP, however, accepted the recommendation to cede the Office of the President of the Senate to Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House or senatorial ticket to Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara if they make up their minds to defect.

Investigation by our correspondent revealed that ex-Governor Liyel Imoke Contact and Mobilization Committee has briefed the National Working Committee (NWC) on talks with R-APC leadership and others willing to defect to PDP.


It was learnt that although the NWC has received insights on substantial part of the report of the Imoke Committee, a formal submission was being awaited.

A reliable source, who spoke in confidence, said: “All is set to welcome R-APC leaders, members and other political leaders into PDP before the beginning of primaries into elective offices as from August 18.

“The Liyel Imoke Committee has done fantastic work and we are all excited about the prospect of a revitalised and stronger PDP.

“With most issues resolved in favour of R-APC and other defectors, the only four pegs of negotiation left are about conceding state party structure to R-APC on 60 to 40 per cent basis; automatic ticket; a change of name by PDP; and governorship ticket in some states.

“The committee recommended that 60 per cent of party structure at the ward, local government and state level should be given to R-APC while 40 per cent is left for old members.”

The source said the committee took into account the electoral value of the defecting R-APC leaders and the need to integrate the defectors into the PDP structure. But he said that state chairmen are opposed to the 60-40 per cent ratio.

“They said if the PDP leadership was serious, it should also allow a 60-40 per cent formula at the NWC level. This means that some National Working Committee members would have to sacrifice their mandate. We are managing it with maturity but state chairmen have not been convinced.

“Some party leaders and state chairmen are claiming that ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar did not re-join the party with terms. They are claiming that the R-APC leaders are demanding too much,” he said.

On the question of automatic ticket, the source said: “All our leaders have accepted to concede only the Office of the President of the Senate to Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives or a senatorial ticket to Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara if they make up their minds to defect.

“As for other aspirants for elective offices, they are to contest with other candidates based on local peculiarities, including the popularity of the defectors, power rotation formula, and the mood of the electorate.

“For example, some PDP leaders are pushing for automatic ticket for Senator Dino Melaye, but some parts of Kogi West Senatorial District said the Ijumu-Gbede axis will be holding on to the seat for 16 years if Melaye gets the slot. Senator Smart Adeyemi (from Iyara Ijumu) was the occupant of the seat for eight years.

“There is, however, a strong case for Senator Melaye. The party may persuade the aggrieved parts of the senatorial district to concede it to Melaye.

“The R-APC leaders are however seeking automatic tickets for all defectors.”

The source also said the automatic ticket matter could also affect the choice of governorship candidates in some states.
“For example, PDP leaders in Kwara State said they will prefer to produce the party’s gubernatorial candidate instead of the returning R-APC.

“The old PDP members in Bauchi, Sokoto, Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna, Yobe, Borno and other states are seeking governorship ticket in exchange for the acceptance of other conditions by R-APC.”

On the change of name, the highly-placed source added: “The BOT, NEC and NWC leaders have rejected the request to rename PDP because it will affect the structure of the party and time is not on our side in an election year.

“We have to write the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and go through a process which may be challenging.”
At press time, the official presentation of the report of Liyel Imoke Committee was being awaited.

BMC crew on the rampage! creat false stories to believe they are strong lol. You guys have failed woefully. Please, before you take anything they ditch out look into their timeline. You will know them.

I see failure on their arrangements because party prostitute politicians can never satisfied..

Well observation continue....

Pavarottii:
So u agree with her that APC Is not an option.

Comprehension is the problem of many Nigerians!

By the time this is fully consumated, APC will be left with Buhari and Tinubu. It is a shame that APC could not manage success in just 3 years. Anyway, ACN and CPC have always been in opposition. They are quite good at it and Lai Mohammed is a sound opposition spokeman

They could not namaged the success because they can't take lawlessness. In the case of Saraki and Melaye, they could have looked the other way. Is this lawlessness they are bringing back to PDP and the whole country. Because of their lawlessness, see where they pushed the former President to. It is a shame that Nigerians are supporting this lawlessness. We are all complaining that the country should do the right thing and somebody is trying to make it right. These guys are not comfortable that is why they are moving to where they will be comfortable to continue their attrocities. Time will tell!

Apc how market, London bridge is about to fall down, am waiting to see when Amaechi,Rochas, Tinubu and co will be taken their session in court and then to kirikiri prison,for the day's of reckoning are approaching.

See the way poliTRICKcians have decided to negotiate the future of Nigerians on the platform of "Party deceiving People" and R-APC.

If only Nigerians can rise to the occasion to flush out these leaders mortgaging the future of Nigerian youths.

We don't need those old structured static principled leaders who have chosen to fix their families in undeserved positions rather than make them fend for themselves.

A case in sample is Buhari's son who out of his own volition crashed his power bike on the excuse of youthful exuberance and was flown to Germany on my hard earned taxes while the victims of the infamous yet tragic tanker fire accident on otedola bridge now wallowing in pain on the bills of sympathizers at undisclosed general hospitals.

The government is quick to point out the likes of kylian mbappe and Anthony Joshua as having Nigerian youths but can't just export potentials to show what the country is made up of.

The rate at which Nigerians are exiting the country for Canada n d likes, even Canada would not have lands to accommodate Nigerians again.

This country needs leaders of this tech generation who are thinkers and problem solvers rather than what we have had in the past. We have had enough of PDP and APC...

The deceit in the land is just too much.

And oshomole Adams bro

Even if PDP presents shakau as their flag bearer against the dullard from daura. I will still go with PDP cuz both shakau and the dullard are both terrorist.

The terrorist you know is better than the angel you know. If u know u know if you don't know goan argue with your ancestors. I don't care

I can't remember quoting u. So where is this coming from?

Oshobaba shld organise himsef & woe to rebels back,their demand in APC is reasonable.
What is dongara,tambuwal going to PDP to do!they have juicy positions in apc,even Saraki trial Has been dropped by SC.he shld try to mend fence & let sleeping dogs lie.

NOETHNICITY:
The best thing that will ever happen to APC is the exodus of these guys

They are a bunch of self centered depraved monsters.

I hope the re quickly absolved into PDP

True. These guys have been the biggest opposition since Buhari emergence. And they have done everything possible to scuttle governance at the center, irrespective of what the electrolate suffers. Close to election, they want to negotiate with Buhari. As a mature man, he told them to negotiate with party leadership. They want party structure handed over to them. They want automatic ticket. Sully children

It has always been a theatrical stage of showmanship not for the masses or the electorates. There moves are selfish.No program for the masses. There best objective is to pad the budget. There's no single inspiration in all these. Where are there constituency projects. We the electorates must decide there fate. They should stop playing on our intelligence and our sensibilities. Our paradigm of voting for them must change. Kilode? Must we always serve them? Let's remove all of them. They must not come back. These are antics towards 2019. The news am waiting to see are there mugshots being displayed for Nigerians to see!!

Just imagine they are absorbed and they lose to APC. COME SEE SHAME, REPROACH AND PRISON SENTENCES

Anything to kick this calamity back to duara is acceptable. Nigeria have suffered with try and error government of APC and best thing for north now is to reject Buhari else they ll regret it in future

If Nigerians really want a better Nigeria after the 2019 elections...
We should know that APC, PDP should be out of their vote choices...
We need fresh air in this nation.
#myopinion tho.

You make a lot of sense, but where sentiment and petty prejudice reign necessity can no longer be the mother of invention.

escodotman:
The RAPC are not serious at all, even Atiku returned to PDP without any terms and conditions! If they are so influencial, why didn't they have their way in the APC but chose to return to a party they've been bashing and abusing in the last 3years. Anyway, APC is an association built on lies, deceits and propaganda.

is good for them to go back to their corrupt party,
Birds of the same feather flow together

dadavivo:
Forget APC the party is dead

With dead politicians.

The most corrupt party is APC with Buhari has a very corrupt man.

WITH ALL WHAT IS HAPPENING EVERYDAY I WANT TO SAY IT'S TIME TO LET NIGERIA DIVIDED INTO THREE

PDP should tell them to gerrout with their demands. APC won’t/shouldn’t take them back. It’ll be their loss.

Very valid opinion...

The fights between these politicians and are only for their greedy personal interest

Dead on arrival; just too many different selfish egos coming together to agree; and what a joke, Saraki for president? - lol, Buhari would be laughing to himself as having already won.

P D P _ rAPC disagreeing on who is to lead their newly formed R L P ( Renewed Looters Party) I know they can never agree because they will have difficulty in knowing who has looted the most, to be made their presidential candidate. Is it Atiku, Saraki , Tambuwal, Dogara or Kwakwanso these looters are just too many to mention and all these are from the Northern part of the country where they have more than 95% of them living in abject poverty which made the U N to say Nigeria is among the poorest country in the world even poorer than India a country with about 1.25 billion population. The Almighty God will never allow all these looters to agree with themselves.

Buhari is not Jonathan.
Any Buhari cow will defeat any candidate from any of this party in the north.

And Tinubu has southwest in his pocket.


So,there is big difference between 2015 and 2019.

No discerning nigerian is interested in the name of the political platforms at the moment.All that that needs to be done is for PDP to present credible and popular candidates through fair primaries.
