The People's Democratic Party is a major contemporary political party in
Nigeria. Its policies generally lie towards the centre-right of the
political spectrum. It won every Presidential election between 1999 and
2011, and was until the 2015 elections, the governing party in the
Fourth Republic although in some cases, amid a few controversial
electoral circumstances.
he All Progressives Congress (APC) is a
political party in Nigeria, formed on 6 February 2013 in anticipation of
the 2015 elections. APC candidate Muhammadu Buhari won the presidential
election by almost 2.6 million votes. Incumbent President Goodluck
Jonathan conceded defeat on 31 March. This was the first time in
Nigeria's political history that an opposition political party unseated a
governing party in a general election and one in which power
transferred peacefully from one political party to another. In addition,
the APC won the majority of seats in the Senate and the House of
Representatives in the 2015 elections, though it fell shy of winning a
super-majority to override the ability of the opposition People's
Democratic Party to block legislation. (Source: Wikipedia)
Can you see what’s happening now? APC in power, but inflation is beyond control, security is still a challenge, job loss is rampant, businesses fail, corrupt people don’t go to jail, infrastructure remains poor, etc.
Do you remember one election in which the APC governorship candidate died after declaring him a winner, and his running mate was refused to be the governor? Do you remember Saraki, who’s a real guilty man, but he’s yet to be dealt with ruthlessly (even the House is behind him)? Do you know that recent elections have been marred by irregularities and thuggery?
Then is there any difference between APC and PDP? Are APC not now doing what PDP were doing then, which made most Nigerians hate them?
