Greetings to you
Obascotec ..this is
among my growing
concern this few
days: Who Are The
APC's??
I have read with keen
concern comments across
different fora on the social
media accusing APC
stalwarts of wooing some
PDP governors into
joining their party (APC),
and among some of the
comments were as.. "PDP
and APC are the same",
"strange bed fellows",
"group of corrupt
politicians", " the same
old crooks" and just so
many bad names you can
just think of.
Now i ask... Who are
suppose to be the APC
members? Is APC
suppose to be free of
corrupt politicians?? Or
may be they should have
manufactured their
members from heaven
abi? And i ask again...
Has there been any party
in the world that is free of
corrupt politicians? At
worst! Even if the party is
strictly the composition of
Pastors and Imams ..., do
you think it will be free of
bad elements amidst
them? Don't we have
corrupt clerics being
paraded on different
occasions as 419ners?
Now tell me.. What's your
point? APC should go and
import some human
beings from Jupiter abi?
Alright.. Listen to my
point: some of us choose
APC not because we want
to be partisan, but
because we did saw and
still seeing every need for
Nigeria to have a
formidable opposition
party. The party that can
be strong enough to
contend with any seating
government, an opposition
that can keep whoever in
power right on his or her
toes.. Checking their
excesses and reminding
them of their flaws to help
them reposition their
steps towards better
service delivery.
Opposition is a necessary
ingredient in working
democracy, which also
mean, with an absent of a
formidable opposition in
any democracy the end
result will be nothing far
from what PDP has been
basking on since 1999.
We are all witness to their
autocratic leadership,
corruption at all level,
looting with impunity.
Lawlessness at its
ugliest.. Just name it...
Another way to best
describe them is to say
"every illegal thing is
possible so far you are in
tune with the ogas @ the
top". No wonder "issue of
multiple website" by my
brother @ the Channel TV
became a popular quote
in many discourse today.
For good Nigerians
including Genshak Golak,
a strong opposition will
provide a viable option for
electorates to make their
choice, hence, there will
be nothing like "once i win
at the primaries i am
done" that's rubbish! Its
never the best for our
democracy. Opposition
will provide a sound and
fierce contest amidst
aspirants and that will
bring out the best in all of
them. Political rivalry is
meant to provide indepth
competition of leadership
skills, and that's when
competence and
credibility becomes a
yardstick.
Now permit me to
establish one fact as
follows;
People behave the way
the do largely because of
some environmental
factors surrounding them.
Just for instance, do you
blame a student for
cheating in Exams when
he is kept at home for
many months only to be
called few weeks to write
the same Exams with his
other counterparts in
private schools? I am not
in any attempt to justify
mal practice, but who is
to be blame? The
students? The teachers?
Or our decision makers
who took an oath to
provide to provide us with
basic needs? Who? I ask..
May be you all should
also know that the worst
devil we all know can
involuntarily adjust to
behave well not because
he or she is good in the
true sense of the word,
but because he or she
has gotten itself in a
system that works hence
any violation of law will
be met with a strong
penalty which prompt the
desperate attempt to
escapes the wrath of the
law. Likewise, the pious
gentleman can do worst if
kept under a lawless
society.
I can proof my claim with
lawless Nigerians that do
behave anyhow here
Nigeria only to turn out as
law abiding citizens in
some other countries.
That remind me of James
Ibori. Set free in Nigeria
and jail in the UK. Can
you see now? So most of
the corrupt politicians as
the case in APC will be
shock seriously... when
the chips are down. Trust
me!
... Finally... Permit me to
reiterate again that its
necessary we agree that,
APC couldn't have
manufacture its members
from some sorts of planet,
but its the same
Nigerians, its we the
people. Both the good and
the bad. That will cause
the change.
What is most pertinent in
this PDP vs APC bruhaha
is that, a stronger than
ever opposition is on
ground to keep any sitting
government on its toes,
and to check its excesses.
Similarly, Opposition no
matter how bad will
definitely proof a point.
And not just that, it will
provide a viable options
for electorates to make a
choice.
Some of us choose APC
not because we want to
be partisan, but because
we want to break that jinx
called PDP dominance,
PDP monopoly of our
political landscape. And
to reclaimed the Nigeria
we all yearn for. Thank
you.
