Prof. Pat Utomi wants all opposition parties in Nigeria to collapse into the ACN:
"It has been pointed out to me that many Nigerians who have supported the work I have done in politics and community service are unaware of the fact that I’m now a member of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
"I have been a member for more than a year. The reason I took this course of action is because the progressive opposition in Nigeria has been unable to bring itself under one umbrella though many, myself included, have tried to bring this about by encouraging the subsuming of ego for the common progressive good."This has proven very difficult and progressives cannot afford to dissipate their energies in various small armies while the enemies of the progressive struggle are disciplined enough to coalesce under the conservative/retrogressive Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). I would therefore encourage all opposition parties to join the ACN.
"As far as I’m concerned, Nigeria should run a PDP-ACN political party structure."
I support Prof Pat as this is the only way the opposition can take over from PDP in 2015 and beyond
ReplyDeleteAnd Nigeria will become Ahmed Tinubu's second estate after Lagos state. God won't let that be.
ReplyDeletePDP &ACN closely alike
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good idea cos it will lead to true competition which is the best way to improve the polity.
ReplyDeleteSeriously thats not a good move, if d only reason for the other minor parties to unite is to defeat the incumbent party. Parties are formed based on principles, and so each party has its own principle n agenda. The parties need to compromise before they unite. But been that the parties are many, them compromising will lead to complications cos not all their different needs will be properly met. And aside from that, ppl vote or belong to these parties becos of the principles and agenda they portray. So when these parties unite with other parties It causes confusion to the voters.
ReplyDeletethat said, i dont think the uniting of these parties will help in defeating pdp Period. We need all d different parties so we can have different choices rather than two choices. We are in a democracy so we shouldnt b limited to two choices.
