REJECT THE PDP AND APC, THEY ARE TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN
By Chief Dr Obidigbo Uchay
The PDP and the APC are made up of the same people. Today they are PDP, tomorrow they are APC, next tomorrow they are back to the PDP and the game of deceit goes on. They are arrogant, insensitive and lawless. They cannot abide even by their own Constitution. Their ideology and philosophy are the same- organized fraud and deception.
The combination of the 16 gruesome years of the PDP and the 8 horrendous years of the APC has brutally sent the life of our country perilously hanging in the balance.
It has not only rendered the health of our nation comatose but the country is dangerously gasping for its last breath under the weight of the monumental corruption and the unparalleled looting that has gone on unabated with reckless abandon over the lifespan of these two Political Parties.
The country has been badly battered and bruised as a result of their mindless ostentations and extravagant lifestyles to the detriment of the masses who stand with arms akimbo and watch helplessly in utter disgust and utter bewilderment as their country is castrated and bleeding uncontrollably to death while crying to no avail for rescue.
The Political Structure which they boast about is the Structure of Criminality that brought the country to its present state of ruins and misery and this is the STRUCTURE that HE Peter Obi is out to dismantle. It is the Structure that is responsible for the following abysmal state of the country.
Currently under the STRUCTURE and WATCH of the APC, Nigeria has failed in all indices of development as a nation.
Nigeria has been declared as the Poverty Capital of the world as a result of massive Multidimensional Poverty.
Nigeria has 22 million Out of School Children – the highest number of Out of School Children in the world.
Nigeria has Youths Unemployment Rate of over 54 per cent – one of the worst in the world.
Nigeria has been declared declared by the United Nations as the second most terrorized Country of the world.
The level of Insecurity is mind boggling – Bandits, Terrorists, Kidnappers, Unknown Gunmen all let loose on the masses and operate with reckless abandon.
Nigeria is currently housing the greatest number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the world.
Nigeria’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) ranks among the worst in the world.
Nigeria is currently carrying a staggering Debt Profile/Debt Burden that is one of the worst in the world.
In the area of Human Development Index, (HDI) the United Nations rates Nigeria as one of the worst in the world.
Nigeria is presently grappling with Hyperinflation of over 21 percent, one of the highest in the world.
Cost of Living has gone off the roof and our currency is now as worthless as waste paper and the list goes on and on.
In the midst of all this horrific statistics, Nigerian Legislators receive the highest salaries in the world astronomically higher than the salary of an American President.
Nigerian President and the State Governors ride in the highest convoy/motorcade in the world. Some of their fleet is as long as 50 vehicles for one Governor all at the expense of the tax payer who is struggling to survive.
At the end of 4 years or maximum of 8 years as Governor where they have presided over massive looting of the resources of their States, the Governors approve for themselves billions of money as Pensions and Gratuities in addition to choice houses and cars etc that are changed every 4 years and in addition, since the Governors have made the Senate their Retirement Homes, they now retire to the Senate and start drawing humongous salaries and allowances that are higher than the salary of an American President plus their mind boggling Pension and Gratuities from their States while over 54 percent of their population is wallowing in abject Multidimensional Poverty.
Meanwhile Civil Servants, Doctors, Lawyers, Lecturers, Professors etc are the most endangered species in Nigeria where they retire after 35 years of service with peanut salaries and another pittance as Pensions and Gratuities on retirement.
In a country where the Minimum Wage is N30,000, a bag of rice goes for N55,000!
This is the sordid situation of the Nigerian worker under the APC Government.
The Presidency of Nigeria has also become another Retirement Home for the Oldies in Nigeria who have passed their active and productive years and who when they get there as President will be running the country through Proxies and this is why the Proxies are fighting tooth and nail to install their Grandparents as President and thereafter, the looting spree continues and the business of Stealing goes on as usual.
While the elderly and frail President is busy grappling with his health challenges in foreign countries which could be Alzheimer or Senile Dementia or Parkinson’s Disease or even Malignancy, the Proxies are equally busy with the Looting and Stealing extravaganza and the country continues to degenerate.
The forthcoming Election will be like no other Election before it. The fate of this beleaguered nation hangs in the balance.
Though a Senior Citizen and well in my seventies, I have NEVER in my wildest imagination believed that a personality like Peter Obi could still be found in this country. In barely 6 months, Peter Obi lifted the Labour Party from obscurity to the Major Party and Frontliner that the Party has become today. He is heads and shoulders above all the other candidates. He has changed the dynamics of elections in this country for good.
By age Peter Obi is the best.
By capacity he is the best.
By incorruptibility he is the best.
By energy he is the best.
By simplicity he is the best.
By Integrity he is the best.
By wide exposure he is the best.
By wide reach and network he is the best.
By humility he is the best.
By decency he is the best.
By compassion he is the best.
By credentials he is the best.
By credibility he is the best.
By temperament he is the best.
By religious balance he is the best.
By ethnic balance he is the best.
By turn he is the best.
By prudence he is the best.
By all indices of measurements he is the best
No wonder he is the toast of all Nigerians today.
Can Nigeria afford to miss this singular opportunity of a lifetime to hire such an amazing Candidate to pilot our affairs and redeem our battered image among the comity of Nations in the next four years?
Would you rather be part of this history in the making?
Would you stand up and be counted?
History beckons on you to do so.
Your only weapon in this war is your PVC
Please join millions of Nigerian Youths, the Not Too Young, the middle aged bracket, the Oldies, the Elderly, the physically and mentally challenged and all men and women of Goodwill to take back our country.
