APC: HYPOCRITES WHO CALL THEMSELVES PROGRESSIVE POLITICIANS

After almost a year in office, it has become very clear that the All Progressive Congress APC is merely a party woven together by the mastery of political communications with a delight for propaganda and a total disregard for facts and reality.

The party thrives very well on mischief and falsehood. Unfortunately for Nigerians, the party has won an election through propaganda but you cannot govern by propaganda. Performance is key, but unfortunately, the party doesn’t seem able or capable of moving away from the core of its make-up. Its demons are eating it up from the inside.

It is interesting now that the cold hard facts of yesterday are coming to haunt the party today. We owe it a duty to ensure history doesn’t spare them the ignominy of having paved the way for the economic crisis in the land today, lest they once again steal the moment and parade themselves as heroes.

Four years after, the current APC leaders frustrated the removal of subsidy and several trillions of naira more spent to sustain it, there is now a complete role reversal – Buhari is now the president and his APC is now the ruling party. Buhari has now deregulated the petroleum sector and ended the subsidy regime – the very same move the current leaders of the APC bitterly denounced the last government for and successfully portrayed it as anti-people. How does one even begin to explain this? When a man eats his own vomit, at least he should set his hubris aside and admit it.

We now hear some lame explanations on the about-face over the subsidy issue. We now listen to stammering and equivocations that attempt to rationalise the deliberately stupid opposition to deregulate the petroleum sector in 2012 by pretenders who were more interested in scoring cheap political points than any consideration for the economic future of the country. It didn’t make sense then just as their now hailing Buhari for “having the courage to remove subsidy” has made no sense at all.

Those we have in government today are hypocrites who call themselves progressive politicians We must record their names in the hall of short-sightedness and pettiness. If they continue like this, then we must warn ourselves and future generations about their kinds and the legacy they left us as hypocrites, demagogues, liars, and men who approbates and reprobates...."
