Ex-National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Odigie Oyegun has come out to say that the ruling party is slowly becoming a threat to Muhammadu Buhari’s legacy and that of his government.
He recently revealed that APC has clearly abandoned its own principles of internal democracy, making anyone preaching change in the party an obvious hypocrite.
According to him, it is sad that while other countries around us have marched ahead in the democratic journey, We've largely regressed as a nation.
He added that the fact that APC keeps violating every rule of decent political engagement despite promising otherwise is completely shameful.
His words, “Our own political party, the APC, is fast becoming the single most dangerous threat to the legacy of our government and our president.
“In the last few months, We've watched how the party has brazenly subverted its own principles of internal democracy and flagrant violation of every rule of decent political engagement in a manner that makes everyone associated with its promise of change liable to be accused of either hypocrisy or apostasy.”
“We must, therefore, remember that our victory in the 2015 Presidential elections and the peaceful transfer of power that followed was a major testament of progress in our nation’s journey towards real democracy.
“This unprecedented democratic achievement has since inspired progressive forces all over Africa and has become a standard by which democracy is measured in the rest of the continent.
“Unfortunately, it appears that while other countries around us have marched ahead in the democratic journey, We've largely regressed.”
