He said, “When you look around, you see the hopelessness on the faces of our youths from years of neglect by their elected representatives. When you look around, you can see that our people lack the basic amenities to make their lives easier.

“Everywhere you look, you see the glaring need for quality representation and APC is bridging the gap in these areas.” grin grin
Two conflicting statements in one letter!

I fear for the future of Nigeria when the youths finally taken over power!

Almost 90% of politicians in Nigeria change party at will . This is not good for democracy. I only pointed out that of an elected official not that of an unelected official looking for an elective position.
Lol.

Can't we see these defectors are not committed to any Party? ...not committed to developing the country? ... not committed to improving the lives of anyone ..except their friends and families? The APC has the power ... and the money ... they will defect.to get their share. We need to open our eyes.

The practice of political cross-carpeting, infamously introduced by Awolowo and condemned as the most shameless betrayal of political principles, is now being embraced by the outgoing ruling party APC , let's see how far this will take them.
If Nnamdi Azikiwe hadn't shamefully crossed carpet from his region to another man's region, there wouldn't have been political parties cross carpeting today.

If it's your right to abandon your barren region and cross carpet to a prosperous region for your economic survival, then politicians also have a right to abandon a dieing party and cross carpet to a bubbling one for their political survival.

I don't think Nigeria is practicing true democracy. This nonsense doesn't happen in developed countries.

Why didn't he join Apc and contest?

Slowly, Nigeria is turning into a one party state.

As far as I am concerned, all the opposition are useless.
PDP failed as ruling party and as opposition. Even if APC performance as a ruling party is debatable, we cannot however argue APC wonderful performance as opposition during PDP evil 16 years of looting. AD/AC/APC represented the masses very well as opposition

Political cross-carpeting is betrayal, plain and simple. Nearly every politician jumps ship at some point, but when elected officials do it, they undermine the will of the voters and compromise democracy itself.
Stop being naive, political parties are just special purpose vehicles for electionering purposes.
People actually vote for people not parties. A good case is father Alia in the APC hated Benue.

Nigerian politicians done have ideologies, so how do you want them to stick to a political party.

Nigerian politicians are all the same. Even the one amidst the labour party reps that was once ranting about labour party reps defection into the ruling party would soon do same.
Birds of a feather....

He didn't change party as an elected official. Even Tinubu and Buhari changed parties at some point in their political career.
From your claims that Tinubu changed party at some point and that Awolowo introduced crosscarperting, it is obvious you really don't know the difference between defection and political alliance/merger.

What happened in the case of Awolowo was not crosscarperting but a political alliance between Action Group and other smaller parties like Ibadan People's Party, Ondo Industrial League, etc which gave Awolowo the lead figures required to become premier of the Western Region. Go and read the book 'My Odyssey ' written by Zik in which he, at old age, later confessed that he didn't win that Western Region election as against his earlier claim that he won it but that Awolowo used crosscarperting to change the results. The same political alliance happened at independence when Zik himself used his NCNC to join forces with Ahmadu Bello's NPC to form the NPC-NCNC alliance which became ruling coalition after their combined seats got majority which no single party separately could attain. Would you accuse Zik or his NCNC MPs of crosscarperting to Ahmadu Bello's NPC? Then also ask yourself how it even makes sense that an election was conducted and the electoral body declared Zik as winner, and Awolowo thereafter used crosscarperting to make that electoral body change the results and declared that Zik no longer won but Awolowo now the winner.

Furthermore, Tinubu and Buhari never left any party for another, they only formed mergers with their parties. Take for example when banks were merging in Nigeria during Soludo's reign as CBN governor. A bank like UBA and Standard Trust Bank went into merger. Would you say that the merger means that a person initially working for Standard Trust Bank had resigned from Standard Trust Bank and taken a new job at UBA?

and when did Tinubu and Buhari change party as elected officials? It's fine for Obi to change parties, but it's not okay for Tinubu to change the name of his party, and form a coalition with another party. The way you obidients think is funny, as if there is sawdust in your brain.
