Fire on the mountain, run, run run, run, the heat is on and engulfing widely; it’s party election time. Party stalwarts are busy running helter-skelter, perambulating seeking re-election after lobbying for an extension of tenure failed. Now is the time to face the music, hereunder are some pointers for consideration before voting at the party poll. Since 2014 Chief John Odigie-Oyegun CON National Chairman, Engr. Segun Oni Deputy National Chairman (South), Sen. Lawal Shuaibu, Deputy National Chairman (North) collectively were unable to:
Pay salaries.
Fish out bad eggs.
Win constituencies.
Be firm and steadfast.
Build a party secretariat.
Resolve internal party crises.
Woo investors to the country.
Support diaspora voting rights.
Address divide, rule and, unity.
Recognize efforts, hard work and excellence.
Organize APC National Convention.
Keep the secretariat sparkling clean.
Organize APC Diasporas Convention.
Proactively address burning national issues.
Keep the secretariat noise free and organize.
Liaise and direct the presidency, legislators, etc.
Say thank you and engage continuous friendship.
Update its constitution and interpret it as needed.
Setup diaspora desk and work with diaspora proactively.
Vet new party entrants and draw set standard for defectors.
Facilitate N5,000 Stipend for graduate – unemployed youths.
Use modern tools such as social media to raise funds for the party.
As the party preaches progressive change, another change is here. ln an attempt to ensure transparency and proper accountability, it is significant for the party to make its audited accounts open to the public before the election, starting from 2014 to date, including itemize achievements, paid and unpaid salaries and tender apologies to Nigerians. Otherwise, social media is at work and should never be underestimated in bringing some unexpected changes as the nation is in turmoil and the party remains doomed. It’s as results of these inequalities, there are attacks and counter attacks from various quarters, and this will not stop party defectors.
