Labaran Maku Predicts Doom of APC Ahead of 2015 General Elections
Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) as “an accident in motion”, saying that the party will crash eventually due to its alleged internal crises and impending defeat in the 2015 presidential election.
According to Maku, ever since the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chose President Goodluck Jonathan as its sole candidate for the 2015 presidential election, the APC has resorted to cooking up “vicious lies and propaganda” to mask its internal crisis and division over its presidential candidate in the coming elections.
Maku, in his statement, said: “They are afraid of the new unity of purpose in PDP and the president’s leadership and achievements.
“Mid term primaries are often a waste of resources and worthless internal distraction. When a ruling party has confidence in its sitting president or governor who has done so well, why not contest midterm election on the records of the incumbent?
“That’s the situation in most presidential democracies, particularly the US after which we patterned our own presidential system.
“The APC itself has always fielded incumbents as flag-bearers in all midterm gubernatorial elections. This has been the reality so far across all parties. So, why attacking the PDP for following a widely-accepted and well tested democratic practice?
“APC propaganda will not save it from the simmering volcanic eruption that is about to tear the party apart over who becomes its presidential candidate. From all indications so far, the APC is an accident in motion. No amount of diversionary propaganda and bare faced lies will save APC from its internal crises and ultimate defeat in the next presidential elections.”
