One of the biggest mistakes this country ever made was
to allow APC to come into power in Nigeria
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dodged a bullet; a
bomb even with the conduct of its presidential primaries a few days ago. This
was conducted in a calm, serene and collected manner. There were no riots. No
bombs went off to mark the process as “do or die.” Nobody got killed, maimed or
injured. The party did not find it necessary to insult the intelligence of
Nigerians by boasting that it now has millions upon millions of fictitious
members. Everything was as smooth as silk.

The same could not be said of the
All Progressives Congress (APC). There is one word that comes to mind
describing APC politics today: “shambolic.” APC primaries are characterised by
violence, tear gas and acrimony. At the presidential level, the party virtually
prevented other aspirants from competing against Buhari. It then showed its
contempt for Nigerians by claiming the president, as a sole candidate, obtained
a bogus 14.8 million votes.
