In no
distant time we shall be informed that our party is about to hold Congresses
across the states of the federation. What this means is that forms will soon be
advertised for sale for those seeking certain positions within the party- from
ward executive level, local govt. executives, state executives to party
national officers. The bazaar is about to begin yet again.
what most
buyers of these forms might not be aware of is the fact that some of these
positions are only available on the paper on which they are being advertised.
The cost of these forms vary, depending on which post you are interested in.
How you
intend to further solidify your intention is entirely up to you, whether under
the mango tree or at the Beautiful Gate, but you must have to ‘do the needful’.
The
greatest irony is that everything, including the very soul and moral conscience
of the party, which is the Board Of Trustees position is also up for sale for
the ’modest’ sum of 500,000 Naira. This is a first.
Under our
Party constitution, this board should consist of 24 members, namely Individuals
of unquestionable integrity as well as all former national chairmen and their
secretaries, presidents/ Vice Presidents, Senate presidents/ HOR speakers (if
any),produced by the party....by NOMINATION ONLY.
Today,
this most sensitive position of the party is also up for sale, which means that
anyone, even an ex convict is free to submit a form.
This party
is still reeling from the severe repercussions of the sham primaries and
massive extortion conducted by ‘election managers’ unwilling to reign in their
rogue tendencies and ever willing to sacrifice the goodwill and integrity of
APGA for a mess of porridge.
THe
National Chairman, Victor Oye is yet to refund and resign.
Some days
ago, I was shocked to hear someone refer to APGA as a ‘wetin You carry party’,
and even went on to insist that our once cherished party is no different from
the Nigeria Customs Service. Whatever this means, it should be concerning to
all of us.
I repeat
once again, Evil continues to prevail when good men keep silent and do nothing.
The Auctioneer is upon us once again. He has done it before, He will do it
again. But to all interested parties, I say ‘ngwucha aburo ujo’.
May God
save our party .
Amb.
Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu
Member,
APGA Board Of Trustees.
