Opposition won’t allow PDP return after 2015’

 

The National Publicity Secretary of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, spoke to journalists in Ilorin on some national issues. Success Nwogu was there.
There is the feeling that the ambition of some stalwarts of the parties involved in the merger talks will stall the realisation of the proposed merger of ACN, What is the update or extent of the merger development?
Clearly the PDP is very jittery. Honestly there is no alternative to pushing out the PDP. IfNigeriawants to survive as a corporate entity, the PDP must be given the boot. I think that the leaders of the opposition (when I say opposition, it is not all parties that are not in power that are in opposition.) There are some political parties that are not in government but they are even more PDP in their thoughts and actions. But I believe that the ACN, CPC and ANPP have come to the realization that posterity will not forget us, if we allow PDP to remain one day more in power after 2015. I think the leaders of the parties are taking this responsibility very seriously? We are not saying that it is going to be easy to have a merger. But we shall have a merge, I can assure you.
But recently, there was a text canvassing support for Maj.-Gen. Muhammad Buhari (retd)for presidency in 2015 even as the merger talks are ongoing?
Is it not possible that a fake columnist or a PDP apologist is behind this sabotage act? I can tell you categorically that Buhari has not sent anybody to canvass for support for him. But if Buhari wants to be the President, would he not use a platform? What platform did that text message indicate it came from? I believe it is part of the ploy of the PDP to sow seeds of discord in the minds of all us and make the merger even more difficult by destroying the confidence among the leaders. I can tell you without any fear of contradiction that it is PDP anti-progressive tactics.
