APC chieftain,Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed and a retired federal permanent
secretary, revealed that some members of the APC were
joining forces with others to form a new political platform.
He said what will happen to the party if unity is left aside
"I am not sure that their calculations are correct, and I don’t
think Nigerians would be very eager to vote for people and
parties that are made from people who just keep moving from
one platform to another.
“It provides evidence that all they want is power for its sake,
they are not thinking of fixing this country. I think that we can
make a case against them to the Nigerian people, that they
cannot be trusted, and I think we will make a good case.”
“I wish the people who are thinking of walking away from the
crisis of the APC would stay behind and fix this party.
“Some of them are quite well known, they were part of the
building blocks of the APC, I wish they would stay behind and
fix this party, because I can’t see how going away and building
new platforms is going to solve their problems.
“I am not too sure that their calculation that they can actually
create platforms with elements of APC, elements of the old PDP
and new elements from other parties can successfully challenge
APC and the old PDP,”
he said.
He also advised that within the next six months, the APC re-
engineer itself and re-engage with its popular support base,
saying:
“What I think is useful is that, in the next three to six months, a
lot of people that we suspect are already packing their things to
get out of APC, would do so.
“That would give the party an opportunity to know who is left
and then we can just go back to rediscovering the essence of
the APC and then possibly to re-engineer the party with the
popular base.”
