Apc Cannot Survive One Percent Of Pdp Problems, And Why Buhari Is A Failure – Lamido

Sule Lamido, a former Governor of Jigawa State has described All Progressives Congress, (APC) as a group of strange bedfellows, he also said the government of President Muhammadu Buhari cannot function properly, because the formation of his ruling party, the APC was based on frustration, bitterness and divisive politics.
 
“The APC has failed woefully and miserably,” he said yesterday during his visit to Thisday head office in Lagos.
“In the next three years, those being sheltered, protected and favoured against those who are now being seen as human things instead of human beings, their activities would be looked into by another government”, he added.
“Yet, we the politicians are the ones maligned as corrupt. Corruption is not a civilian culture, it is a culture instituted by the military,” he said.
Speaking on the reason he chose to remain in the PDP, the former Governor said: “I didn’t leave the PDP because it was not right to do so. It is like renouncing myself, even if I want to, I could not.
“The party and the country have dignified me. How do I renounce my history?”

THE PANAMA PAPERS AND A COUNTRY SUFFERING FROM ACUTE LETHARGY BY KWESI BAAKO



Once again, that lackluster response that greets almost every important issue that is not directly ‘bread and butter’ showed its face when the ‘Panama Papers’ surfaced this week.

Ghanaians once again reacted as if it was just another ordinary story. I do not blame us entirely, after all, hadn’t John Addo Kufour, eldest son of Ghana’s former President John Agyekum Kufour been in the news in the not so distant past for activities that at best slightly embarrassed his father, the then President of Ghana? So why should there be a loud “wow” over a case of corruption concerning someone who had been in and out of a high profile corruption case.
