APC and the clamour for CHANGE
If APC thinks that the clamour for change is only at the federal level, then I think they are being hypocritical. Do they think we don't need change at the state level? Take Lagos for instance; for how long are we going to be bed-fellows with Tinubu? Our present governor was hand picked by him, same as the current candidate. Even the APC vice-presidential candidate was chosen by him (I hear Osibanjo is a director of alpha-beta, the company owned by Tinubu and responsible for collection of taxes in Lagos state). His wife Oluremi Tinubu has 'represented' Lagos central senatorial district for three terms now if am not mistaken. Unfortunately the only time we see or hear from her is during elections, when her glossy election posters cover every available space on the island promising 'prosperity' for all. Is that what we need? Prosperity or a candidate that is our voice in the legislature? I think we have had enough of Tinubu; he should gracefully take a bow for the work he has done so far and allow the polity to run without saturating the whole place with his family members and cohorts who continue to serve his personal interests first rather than that of the people. The hypocrisy needs to stop; there is no difference between distributing recharge cards with the picture of Remi Tinubu and the bags of rice distributed by PDP with Jonathan's face on it. According to my colleague, the clamor for change is not a mantra, it is a movement. APC has the momentum now but if they are not careful, even they will be swept away into oblivion by the force of the Change movement.
Soon the people that are clamoring for change will be the ones to send them packing.
ReplyDeleteI refused to be involved in Nigeria's Politics now because it is a dirty game full of dirty tricks and corruption.Every Nigerian Politician is a liar, they won't show their true color until they are at the corridor of Power.
YES! I want change, but who betters who? APC? PDP? Loool....
Nice write up though...
18 months down and more of this change movement is evolving. We are watching
