THE VICIOUS CIRCLE
In
a bye election into the House of Representatives in Katsina State
recently, it was reported that voters turned out en mass to express
their anger and frustration, with majority of voters booting out the
APC, the ruling party in the State, which is the home state of the
President. This is not the issue.
For
it will be self deception, for anybody to delude himself that the
solution to Nigeria now is to change from APC to PDP. That is grand
delusion indeed, of changing just the garment but retaining the person.
We have seen the worse of PDP in times past and we have now seen the
best of APC. Both are not good enough for Nigeria, because politicians
are the same, at least in Nigeria. It is all about self interest,
nothing more. The corruption of the APC govt, when it will be unearthed
eventually, will be historical. Please mark my words.
The
only difference in the APC misadventure is the active collusion of
progressive lawyers, human rights and pro-democracy activists and labour
leaders, not sparing the media.
In
the past, especially under the military regimes and the renegade
politicians (PDP in particular), activists stood tall as the conscience
of the people, taking out the programmes of govt that were considered
anti people. In the present dispensation, our "comrades", lawyers and
labour leaders, journalists, etc, changed not only the lyrics but also
the tune of all our familiar battle songs. Some even said that we should
suspend the Constitution and the rule of law, in order to enthrone
civilian dictatorship. We are now told that their counterparts in the
military are now planning a coup. Thank God are eyes are now "open".
Let
us not be deceived, to think that the solution to Nigeria is all about
voting out APC. Far from it. Yes, we must rid Nigeria of this current
army of bandits parading themselves as progressives, but never again
shall we fall into the terrible hands of the PDP. Never again! Not in
our lifetime!! Never!!!
Let
our comrades come back home. They have failed Nigeria, but they should
come back home to where they rightly belong, on the side of the
suffering masses of our people. It is bad enough to be a corrupt
politician, but it is certainly worse to be a hypocrite, buried deep in
the pit of a so-called progressive government, that has only grabbed
power just for the sake of it.
Activists
please come back home, speak for the people, organize, mobilize and
take hold of Nigeria. Let us boot out this APC, but by all means fence
off the PDP and take Nigeria back for our people.
Organize, mobilize and take over. Enough of APC and bye bye to PDP.
