“The membership and composition of the APC is nothing progressive. They are ideologically ill defined and seem to have come together for only one purpose which is to grab power from the PDP and united on one sentiment which is their peculiar hatred for the person of President Jonathan. Is there an offence in being a President from a minority tribe?,” according to Doyin Okupe, who is generally refer to as “Jonathan bull Dog”
He also said,“This fact is further reinforced by the fact that even its (APC) leadership parades politically expired, analogue and yesterday men, including the likes of Akande, Ikimi, Bello Masari, Buhari, Ogbeh, Bashir Tofa and their likes, who do not promise any hope for today’s Nigeria and therefore cannot bring any meaningful change to the polity,”
“From the first day of the Jonathan Presidency, these people have tried all methods to suffocate his administration and make it impossible for him to govern. Immediately the President was inaugurated, he was made to contend with a major post-election violence unprecedented in the annals of our political history.
“This paved the way for the escalation of the Boko Haram insurgency to the level that was totally and absolutely unimaginable; reducing previous episodes like the Maitatsine riots and similar previous sectarian violence in the North to a child’s play.
“It is to the glory of God, tenacity of purpose and ingenious administrative capacity of President Jonathan that in spite of these overwhelming and daunting security crisis, his administration still records a most distinguished performance in terms of delivering dividends of democracy ever recorded in the annals of the history of Nigeria.
“Isn’t it surprising too that since their coming together, Nigerians have yet to know what the APC stands for in terms of definite agenda? What do they have that is better than the PDP?
“They have no official manifestoes; rather what we hear from one leader is a sharp contradiction from what we hear from another.”
“The ACN particularly is reputed to always outsource its presidential candidate to the PDP. It is not surprising therefore that in the new party’s national executive, six of its 11 members, which is about 60 per cent are former chieftains of the PDP,” He further added.
Faulting the word of attack on APC, the Interim spokesman for the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, then responded.
“He is saying that the chairman of its Board of Trustees is also a young man. This is a party whose national youth leader is about 70 years. Nigerians are not fools. At the appropriate time, they would decide what they want.”, Lai, Stated.
