APC Cracks!

APC Cracks! The emergence of Mr. Ayodele Peter Fayose of the PDP as the Governor elect of the state of Ekiti certainly took off an enormous wind of the sail of the largest opposition party in Nigeria, the APC! Despite huge media campaigns both within Ekiti state and the entire south West as well as the huge phantom website that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu , Gen. Buhari and the rest of the other big wigs of the opposition have been creating as well as the arrogant show that they are the only progressives that ever threaded the little green planet, PDP still took over Ekiti state from them! The people of Ekiti have shown that indeed they are not bamboozled by loudmouthed talks of the politicians nor would they ever again bow to huge media campaigns by politicians. This is a sure sign that Nigerian electorates have evolved! It is time that Governments not only of APC, all governments should look in wards and find out what the populace really want and help the citizenry to achieve what they want! To start with even the other South West States the APC is currently in control now, let the APC not be too sure they would retain them . For instance though Barr. Babatunde Fashola did quite well in infrastructure development but let the APC in Lagos not think that the cost, pain and suffering people went through before those infrastructures were built would to be easily forgotten by the highly sensitive electorates in Lagos now will the electorate forget easily the huge amount of money that Lagos state government stubbornly charge in their state controlled universities. APC should also not think that lagosians would forget quickly the fact that despite the fact that a court of competent jurisdiction had ruled that the toll being collected at the new bridge in Ikoyi is illegal yet Lagos government still stubbornly continues to collect the toll and many other things. Same in Ogun State and the other gentle man, Gov. Aregbesola and his religious biased education drive. Lagos continues to build houses that only commissioners, permanent secretaries, top shots in the civil service and politicians are the only ones who could possibly complete the payment of the house from their honest pay! The lesson for the APC generally is that they should drop this, their myopic and unpatriotic opposition stratergy they have been using ever since the successful registration of the party. Recall that the first show of muscle that the APC displayed was to attempt the filibustering of bills sent by President Jonathan. While that was half digested the Boko Haram issue came up and right up to the abductions of Chibuk the APC never came out clearly to condemn the heinous activities of this criminals used by some reactionary elements in the North to attempt to send President Jonathan to the swamps of Beyelsa State. Even with the sensitive nature of the Chibuk incident the APC played politics up to the involvement of the international interests! Though the APC is claiming that they have already unseated President, they are only waiting for 2015 to come to formalize the process! Though I personally do not know how APC came about this position but they should be mindful that Nigerians would not forget easily the few actions they have taken even outside Aso Rock and that Nigerians are wondering what they would do when eventually they seize power that is if they could. The APC should not be surprised when President Jonathan double his lead in 2015 in comparison to his first election if the APC continue with this their crude pattern of opposition that is not issue based but just baskets of criticisms instead of proving alternative solutions! General lesson for all politicians, is that they should all understand the dynamics of evolution of political maturity of the Nigerian electorates. The Nigerian electorates are no longer ready for frivolous talks and all those crazy maneuvers politicians are used to. They want a piece of serious actions on the part of all elected officials and no matter the crazy media campaign and show of arrogance by elected official if they fail to do what must be done they would be shown the away out regardless of which party the official is from!
