Political Issues
Ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is bleeding from a thousand cuts -By Chima Christian
Head or tail, APC will not remain the same after its coming primaries. The special purpose vehicle cobbled to grab power in 2015 has achieved that singular purpose.
I had written as far back as August 2021 that the limited membership success the Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Committee achieved for the party will be hobbled by its inability to manage competing and sometimes irreconcilable interests. I did warn that entrant of new dominant players will further aggravate the internal disquiet usually associated with political parties as they attempt to grow its subscriber base.
Today, all pretences have been done away with and slaps are recklessly landing on cheeks. With the attendant falling off of wigs, of course. The street brawl would have been entertaining if not for the suffering masses that always bear the brunt.
Head or tail, APC will not remain the same after its coming primaries. The special purpose vehicle cobbled to grab power in 2015 has achieved that singular purpose.
It is as suffocating as it is entertaining watching an assemblage that has outlived its purpose attempting to kick the can of its disintegration further down the road. Their gamble might pay off again if Nigerians allow them.
Africa’s morning will come.
