A social media critic and activist, Deji Adeyanju recently took to his Facebook page to opine that the APC will likely choose its presidential candidate from the North. Deji Adeyanju said,
“APC now likely to go North because of Atiku’s victory.”
The truth is that PDP is today faced with total annihilation by progressivism in Nigeria as represented by APC. So, while fighting to survive through the machinery of their party, they equally sent in 5th columnists inside APC to attempt to swallow the progressivism or destroy the progressive forces in the party & take over the party from within.
PDP like Capitalism is trying to swallow APC to save themselves from annihilation. And this cannot be completely possible unless they succeed in destroying the core progressive elements within the party.
Buhari is a progressive or so it seems. But recent events & the mess in the party under his watch with his silent approval clearly show that his progressive root is not deep. He merely needed the party to achieve political power which he has done & now cares less about the future of APC as a progressive party or the future of progressivism in Nigeria.
Amaechi is a core PDP force. The chairman – Adamu, imposed on the party by Buhari is a core unapologetic PDP force. Osinbajo has no real progressive root or defendable progressive accomplishments to give anyone confidence that he & his administration (should he win) cannot be taken over by PDP.
Now, PDP in Wadata Plaza working with the PDP 5th columnists planted or bought in the administration of Buhari & APC has drafted Jonathan into the party & the presidential race. The only core progressive with deep unshakable progressive roots & proven progressive antecedents, accomplishments, achievements & unrepentant progressive DNA that have stood a 30-year test is Tinubu.
