I marvel at
the naivety of the promoters of the ‘Alliance for Progressive Change’ (APC).
Whilst the
said promoters were busy posturing for the media, taking walks down the streets
of some volatile States in Nigeria northeast zone and stoking the embers of
national discord, forgetting to approach relevant regulatory authorities to
initiate their desire to register a political platform, some smart alecs approached
the Independent National Electoral Commission with a request to register the ‘African
People’s Congress’ (APC).
With the sly
move by the African People’s Congress (APC), the Alliance for Progressive
Change (APC), despite all their ranting in the media, can conveniently kiss goodbye
to any idea of having their proposed name and acronym recognized.
My worry
however is this: if Nigeria’s ruling political party, the PDP, as I verily
suspect, is behind this ingenious idea, why does the same party find it so
difficult to adapt such deft ideas positively towards schemes that will profit
the generality of our populace?
Is the brain
of the ruling party solely attuned to politricks and not good governance?
As for the Alliance
for Progressive Change (APC), let them continue bickering over spilled milk –
they will remain at that rancorous state till after the elections are held.
Knowing our PDP, the name registration issue is only Art 1, Scene 1 of a long
winded political melodrama.
