WHAT DRIVES APC?
Desparation to win Presidential elections, bitterness, anger, propaganda.

Its no longer news that APC thrives on propaganda, exaggerating lies. They and their sympathizers now own majority of the means of communication either Newspaper, radio and television stations. They host TV programs and publicize news with a deliberate attempt to paint the government black, through character assassination, exaggerated stories, half -baked news, some with illegal and unreliable source eg, until CNN reporters came to Nigeria, most of the news on chibok girls were false.
Today, liar Mohammed is no longer asking about the perceived illegal arms deal since SA came out openly to apologize, making allegations and quoting NAIRALAND as his source, that's a big disappointment.

WHAT HAVE APC OFFERED NIGERIANS SO FAR??
In my opinion, APC has offered the following
1. inciting the populace against the government, making violent utterances, we know the implications of this, violence in which they and their kids will not be involved, yet others will be killed

2. Criticism without solutions:
APC only criticize even without giving solutions, and will never applaud when the government is getting it right.

3. Worsened Nigeria's image in international community. keep seeing only the wrongs and quickly spreads the news. Speaks against the office of the president: ln developed nations, you can criticize government policies but you don't speak against an office it's not allowed.
20 members of congress in SA are facing trials for causing commotion during sessions but In Nigeria, members of APC work out of the speaker during sessions disgracing Nigeria, is that being patriotic?

4. They provide "BRING DOWN SYNDROME" services: eg, using Bola Ige's death to campaign, but They have swept away the story of how Funsho was assassinated in Lagos.

5. Accusations of corruption.: let's be sincere, is there any APC member that is corrupt free, including the most adorned FASHOLA.

So much to say, I'll drop my pen now.

ProfessorPeter:
The war against boko haram cannot be won until some certain things are done. The following method should be adopted.
). FG should allow everybody to own a firearm.
2. Jonathan should sack NSA and the minister of defense.
3. Go after boko haram sponsors.
4. Fish out and punish these military guys who are loyal and sympathetic to boko haram cause.

anonimi:
Don't allow yourself to be deceived by our useless state governors saying the state allocations has been reduced.
Did they not sue the federal administration for the Sovereign Wealth Fund and subsidy deductions
So if indeed the allocations are being reduced unjustly they would have sued again, not so?

You may wish to note that road contracts awarded by states costs many times more per kilometer than those awarded by the federal government
Generally speaking corruption is highest at the LGA level followed by the state and the LEAST corrupt is the federal.

Rockyheight:
Ajimobi in Oyo state has not paid september and october salaries. Fayemi OWned workers about 2 months or more salaries before he left, am sure if we look closely at Osun state we will notice some anomalies there? APC's re bigger fraud than Pdp God forbid they take over Aso rock

johnmartus:
you see some oppinion should not be take serious we apc should take them granted we should also consider them as hopeless and hypocrite people they cannot see apc as opposition party because they had been brainwashed

berem:
so what kind of changes is PDP giving Nigerians since to you,its not an ideology?

Generally speaking, in a democratic setting, the ruling government needs an opposition to keep them on their toes and check their excesses.
In Nigeria today, though we have an opposition, some in form of party opposition, we find out that, our system of opposing is rather for selfish interest than National interest. A typical example is the APC form of opposition.

My opinion is this, that APC is not the kind of opposition we need.
Reasons
1. HOW WERE THEY FORMED

Let's not be deceived, APC was formed with the main aim of ousting PDP led government especially the FG, it is not the people they have at heart. They are not different from every other political party fighting for survival and to remain relevant in polity and join in sharing National cake. They do not need to merge to deliver dividends of democracy.
We understand various parties merged, some of which were not recognized during the merger hence their members have not been given any position in their NWC, hence some have pulled out.

WHO ARE THEIR MEMBERS :
Up to 70% of their members were previously PDP members some for up to 8years or more. If PDP was an evil party as they are painting her today, why did they remain in PDP for those numbers years?
let's list some of their members;


(A)Atiku- One of PDP founders, left for ANPP, returned to PDP after reconciling with OBJ, deflected again to APC because he is not really given some form of relevance in PDP polity.

(B)Rochas Okorocha; PDP member for OVER 8years even vied for office of president under PDP, contested for Governorship under APGA and won an Incumbent governor, its was not APGA that made him win, people voted for his personality. Later deflected to APC because APC appears stronger and will provide him succor in time of need. Forgetting that the power lies in the people, that the same people that staked their lives for him during elections without inciting them can stand up for him in times of trouble.

(C)Timi Sylvia: PDP member for 12years, governed for 4years with nothing to show, PDP NWC felt they would lose election if he runs for second term, decided to support another. Today, he is in APC, crying that he was victimized; the same person who didn't achieve anything as a Governor is today celebrated in APC and has even paid for Buhari's ticket.

(D)Oyinola: PDP for about 15Years, governed Osun state, insulted Tinubu in public, today is being celebrated by APC.

I can go on and on….
In fact, if you follow the trend, you will notice some are returning to PDP eg RIBADU, FALANA etc. Telling you that if PDP was that bad they won't return and if APC was better they would have remained there.

Don't forget the governor that deflected, initially formed a newPDP but Because such name would not be recognized and that they need a stronger platform to give them back up they decided to join APC, not because APC was better


Tambuwal just deflected to APC with the main aim of contesting for Governorship position in Sokoto, not because APC is a better party but Because APC is controlling the polity in the state.
Ask yourself someone that has been a REP for 16Years going for governorship position for another 8years is it the people he has at heart or selfish interest, Better still is he the only good man from SOKOTO?

WHAT IS THEIR IDEOLOGY ?
If this question is asked, maybe the first first reply you will get is 'change' lets not be deceived ( 5-9 = -4) is also change but In a negative direction.

Some will refer you to Lagos state then I will SMH, is Lagos state the only state ruled by APC?

The last time I checked there are many PDP states with meaningful developments going on, Akwa Ibom and Delta states comes to mind.
They have recently added Rivers state as theirs, but Let's not forget all seemingly nice things seen in Rivers state were done before Amaechi joined APC, they should point us to what Amaechi has achieved since he joined them. Fayemi left office owning 2months salary and debts, Rauf borrowed money and raised funds to pay salaries before elections. Kwara state is worst

As an individual, an ideology should be uniform, one should visit all the APC STATE'S and see same thing even though at different rates.


For me APC has no ideology. just imagine Tinubu seeking advice from OBJ, maybe they are now sharing same ideology

"we have never been this seperated by religion and tribe ever in this country"


This is a lie. On the contrary, we have always been. I will show you:

In 2001, Muhammadu Buhari used Sharia to rise to political fame. He advised Muslims to vote for those who will promote their religion: [http://allafrica.com/stories/200201210250.html]. He later called for Sharia in all states in Nigeria [http://allafrica.com/stories/200108270355.html]. These were divisive comments.


Islamic riots in Nigeria date back to 1953 in Kano. In the 1970s and 80s we had the Maitatsine riots. In 1991 we had the Reinhard Bonke riots in Kano caused by Islamic intolerance. In 1995 Gideon Akaluka was Killed in Kano by Muslim fundamentalists. In 1999 Yerima led other Muslim governors to declare Sharia in nine Northern States, telling Christians that they were now in Muslim territories and must behave. Remember the Miss World Riots of 2002? What about the Danish (Mohammed) cartoon riots in 2005? We have seen the mayhem caused by Boko Haram since 2009. Each religious riot tells you that you are from a particular religion.

On tribe, don't be naive. Many years ago, Awolowo described Nigeria as a 'mere geographical expression'. That is to say, these are different people with separate identity cobbled together. Haven't you seen the Youtube hate speeches of Ahmadu Bello in the 1960s as well as his writings on conquering Nigeria like his grandfather, Dan Fodio? What of Akintola's hate speeches in the 60s? Wasn't the civil war along tribal line?

Look, we can only manage the issues of tribe and religion and still be getting along. But to say that we have never been separated along those lines is fallacy.

lekkie073:
at least they are not contesting for number one citizen in Nigeria.....but check out GMB contesting for president at 72....
and if not for Parkinson Disease, Tinubu sef go wan contest for election....

maxisfield:

Gentiejag:

Gentiejag:
My head don explode o...thanks much for the understandable compliments because dah "jengebulating" na hin bust my brain pass

TahariX:
Y'all do realize sex is MUTUALLY beneficial, right?

ohaleoghene:
I personally do not see anything wrong with cooking for your boyfriend,only that let it me that you want to because you like to ,or saw a need to.but not so that he will make you his wife. if a guy do not want you,no matter how frequently you cook,he still won't want you. for me,I cook when o go to visit,that is because I like to cook,not to impress or hook him. Do whatever is right for you,do not let society set your standards. and yes is so sexy when I am cooking and I have to send me on errands *baby get the salt*

Gentiejag:
If you truly love him, you would do anything to make him happy, even if it includes cooking for hours....

It does not make you a slave neither does it guarantee your "graduation" to a wife, it only leaves an imprint of the kind of woman you are in the guy's heart if you end up with him or not.

Janetozi:
men friends? Not even 1, now i understand. Going to their house one by one will be too stressful. I think u should reduce the number.

post=27615922:
Ok....But when are you bringing our girls back?

nijanigga:
why bother contest the election? Have you heard what's going in Burkina-Faso?

I see …
APC is planning war if GEJ wins

Blood drinkers, you folks are the ones not allowing this country to be in peace, yet you call PDP a desperate party

Anyone that resorts to war after elections will be the first to die

lonelydora:
He should learn from Dangote.

Immediately I read the topic, it dawned in my spirit that GEJ just won 21States out of 36.
