₦airaland Forum

All Progressive Congress is Nigeria's foremost opposition party. Since her existence, we have read over a hundred publications from either the publicity secretary or a party chieftain challenging and criticising the ruling party and her leadership. Very few of these criticism were constructive which have practically put the ruling PDP her toes in some aspect. What trouble our heart is that APC in all of their publications have not come out to tell Nigerians what they want to do differently. 2015 is here, we want change but what change is APC offering. I know there are multitudes of APC members and sympathizers on Nairaland. Can we have someone tell us the change we are expecting from APC come 2015. We are tired of PDP.

PLEASE...tell us APC plans not what PDP did not do well. THANKS

Janjaweeders are known clowns

APC' s plan for nigeria? Nothing. APC was formed strictly to move power back to the Muslim North. No more no less

B4 we answer you,you have to tell us what pdp under jonathan have achieved in five years......meanwhile,campaign has nt started,so we are still holding our card to chest.

It's simple : Islamize Nigeria !

Apchit have beckoned on all past criminal politicians to fight against the present fg, they also included Nollywood actors in their senseless fight.

Being a 2 way party with a secret intention to woo gullible nigerians in order to gain their innocent votes ,loot the nations coffers dry and also to sacrifice the future of nigerians to their Fulani masters.

The apchit has a record : the worst opposition party on planet earth with 0% contribution and 100% criticism .
