parties and aspirants will have no other option
than to go back to the drawing board to re-
strategise.
According to Chidi Okoye in this report, The All
Progressives Congress (APC) has positioned
itself as the party that will bring change to our
old way of doing things in order to fix a broken
nation. As it campaigns for the required votes
that will earn it the power to take charge, the
party has gone about it no differently from the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) it seeks
to dislodge.
In his campaigns across the country, the
party’s presidential candidate, Muhammadu
Buhari, has continued the same old empty
rhetoric that has come to characterise Nigerian
politicking. Buhari has structured his campaign
exactly as it was written in the PDP play book.
We have seen grandiose proposals of how
Nigeria will be fixed under Buhari, with no
clear-cut tactics outlined. We have seen
crowds mobilised financially to appear at APC
campaign rallies. We have seen Buhari refuse
to attend presidential debates. We have seen
nothing change from what we have come to
expect in every politics season.
