For at least six times, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, postponed its midterm non- elective national convention. While it could not do that, albeit in clear violation of its own constitutional provisions, the party would tomorrow be holding its national convention, this time, an elective one.

The leading opposition party in the country would be watching with keen interest to make gains from the discord that appears to be preceding tomorrow’s national convention of the ruling party. But whether the PDP can be trusted is another issue.

No fewer than 1,000 members of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,  in federal ward 9/DSIEC Ward 14, in Ovwori axis of Sapele Local Government Area, Delta State, have burnt their membership cards, just as they decamped to the opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.

As members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) gather for the party’s elective convention in Abuja this weekend, the APC can hardly look in the mirror and recognise itself as the vibrant coalition that swept the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from office three years ago.   I still remember Lai Mohammed shelling PDP. The party was a band of thieves, a criminal enterprise with an incompetent captain at the helm, determined to drag the country down. Impunity and violence were the PDP’s official languages, while the smell of money and the desire to share it were the only things that kept the PDP’s heart beating.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the umpteenth time, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of deliberate moves to stifle opposition ahead of the 2019 general elections.
