It is a must win for the opposition
in the coming 2015 election. What other way to drum it into the ruling PDP ears
than the forming of the All Progressive Congress (APC) by ACN, CPC, APGA, and
ANPP.
In a meeting hosted by the Lagos
State governor, Fashola, the 10 opposition party governors endorsed the move by
their individual parties to merge and in their words, “rescue Nigeria from the
PDP”.
The above comment suggests that Nigeria’s
problem is caused by the PDP alone, and that there’ll be a change if the APC
comes into power in 2015. We should know better than to fall into this trap.
The APC is a good idea but falls
short from being Nigeria’s messiah. Corruption may have been encouraged by PDP
but didn’t start with them. Corruption is inherent in our society and not in a
particular party.
For me, the APC versus PDP is a case of making a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea. Post 2015, the corruption problem won't be solved, it doesn't matter which party makes it into Aso Rock.
