A former Federal Commissioner in the Fiscal Responsibility Commission, Abuja, Chris Okewulonu, has predicted that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will not last in power beyond 2019. According to him, there were ample indices indicating that the APC may not last in power beyond 2019, stressing that the party was already standing on the precipice.
In a statement issued in Owerri, Imo State, Okewulonu, who was a former Secretary to the Imo State Government (SSG), attributed the internal crisis prevalent in the APC national leadership and the National Assembly leadership on one hand as well as the friction among members of the party in various states of the country, as indicators that the party was not ready for governance yet.
He said: “APC is a collection of strange bedfellows hurriedly put together to undermine the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but winning an election is one thing while managing the victory is another.”
Okewulonu, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) expressed delight that; “contrary to the expectation of some anti- PDP forces, we have continued to march on successfully under the leadership of Alhaji Ahmed Makarfi. PDP remains the only true national party in Nigeria, catering for the linguistic, tribal and religious diversities of the country.”
He advised the factional National Chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, to have a re-think, noting that waging endless war against the same party he was struggling to lead, would not portray him as a good leader. “Today, Sheriff is on AIT and tomorrow, he runs to Channels TV, trying albeit unsuccessfully, to blackmail PDP yet, he is still aspiring to lead the same party and people he was painting black.”
