APC CRISIS: WHY MR. PRESIDENT AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

By Alhaji Jemil Usman (The Young Alhaji)

The perpetual lingering crisis withing the leading party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a bad omen for both the party and the good people of Nigeria and the stakeholders must act to avert the impending calamity. 

It is unthinkable that the shenanigans of some unscrupulous and self-serving leaders can cripple all the gigantic efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari to redirect Nigeria to a working country where people can achieve their aims in life. 

Moreover, the perennial postponement of the APC National Convention by its leaders has further demonstrated how selfish some leaders can be. How on earth can you becuase of your own personal political interest hold other people to ransome?

Findings have now shown that some governors who are supposed to be pace setters in the progress of the party  have now become the clog in the wheel of the party due to personal ambition. These governors whose performance in their respective states should be enough to propel them to the next leadership positions have now preoccupied themselves with political brouhaha within the party thereby neglecting their primary functions as chief executives of their states. 

Consequently, the innocent citizens of their states have now meant to suffer for their inefficiencies. They have now been subjected to unimaginable perdition as their leaders have abandoned them to pursue other political agenda. 

In all of these, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, should not turn his blind eye to all these myriad of knots in the party. As the father of our great nation and great party, it is expected that the President will wade in and show leadership to our people. This is to avoid the repetition of what happened in the past amongst some of the Buhari loyalists who have now cross-carpetted to other political parties.

The case of Governor El-Rufai vs Shehu Sani in Kaudna and Governor Yahaya Bello vs Dino Melaye of Kogi State are few examples that would come to mind as I'm writing this piece. Had the President intervened timely, they would have still been in the party today. We should all know that it's the President's figure that's holding the party together, therefore he needs to put up a structure that would outlive his administration and continue to win elections after he has exited the apex office of the country. 

If the APC hierarchy failed to put their house together and allow the Peoples Democratic Party to take the leadership role of our country, we would all pay for the consequences. As a matter of fact, some of these governors who are bent hell on their personal and selfish ambitions might end up behind bars as the PDP will strive to avenge and make the  APC to suffer. 

I'm therefore calling on stakeholders to put aside their personal ambitions and come together to make sure that the party's leadership transcend beyond 2023 general elections. This is becuase if there is no functional party as a vehicle, how would you par take in the elections in the first place

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
God bless our great party, the All Progressives Congress.

CONGRATULATIONS TO A MAN OF CAPACITY By Alhaji Jemil Usman (The Young Alhaji)

  CONGRATULATIONS TO A MAN OF CAPACITY By Alhaji Jemil Usman (The Young Alhaji) I want to join the good people of Nigeria especially the APC family to sincerely congratulate the newly crowned chairman of our great party, the All Progressives Congress at the just concluded APC National Convention, 2022. The President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammdu Buahri has conspicuously demonstrated his patriarchal characteristics by wading in at the right time   to calm the nerves of all the aggrieved members of the party and came out victorious where most of the disagreement amongst the stakeholders of the party was ironed out amicably. This clearly shows that APC is on the right track and it is the party to trust by Nigerians to continue to deliver on the dividends of democracy to uplift the lives of the Nigerian people. I am particularly overwhelmed with joy when the president opted to go with the candidature of his excellency, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, a sea

RE - KOGI CENTRAL: WE’RE CONFIDENT NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN WILL RECLAIM MANDATE – RESIDENTS   By Alhaji Jemil Usman (The Young Alhaji)   It is preposterous and sheer shenanigan to think that you have won an election where the winner got the highest number of votes. It is called simple majority and not the number of local government areas won during the said election. The All Progressives Congress is supposed to be the ones crying and wailing after this election. This is due to the fact that Natasha’s husband Mr. Uduaghan from Delta State used his connection and relationship with the Nigerian army hierarchy to intimidate the APC supporters who trouped out in their numbers to vote for their preferred candidate, Engr. Abubakar Sadiku Ohere, a true son of the soil whose philanthropic work has earned him overwhelming acceptability amongst the people of Kogi Central. Actually, Mrs. Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan decided to deny most of the APC supporters their right to vote in Okehi Local

APC CONVENTION: THE PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN By Alhaji Jemil Usman (The Young Alhaji)

APC CONVENTION: THE PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN  By Alhaji Jemil Usman (The Young Alhaji) I was over the moon when I read the all-important speech of President Muhammadu Buhari to the Progressive Governors forum where the President affirmed the consensus stand of the party. The unambiguous statement clearly stated that the infrastructural gains the APC government has been able to achieve cannot be compromised by being complacent. Therefore, we cannot allow the PDP of yesterday that destroyed our economy for 16 years even with the oil price benchmark of over $100 per barrel to return to power.   As a matter of fact, the president has spoken the minds of the majority of All Progressives Congress members who have worked hard to build the party and wouldn’t want different interest to destabilize it. Consequently, I want to therefore call on all the stakeholders to abide by the decision of Mr. President and desist from creating chaos within the party. Intelligence have it that some unscrupulous go
