We Have to Do Something, APC Is A Sinking Platform And May Lose Power in 2019 - Bisi Akande Says

Former Interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Bisi Akande has said that the party may not retain power in 2019. In a statement released yesterday, he bemoaned the current crisis rocking the party caused by the recent inauguration of the 8th Assembly.

“What began as political patronages to be shared into APC membership-spreads among ethnic zones, religious faiths and political rankings and experiences have now become so complicated that the sharing has to be done by and among PDP leadership together with cohorts of former new-PDP affiliations in the APC, by and among gangs of past anti-Buhari’s Presidency, and certain APC legislators and party members who dance round the crisis arena to pick some crumbs.

“Now that the whole conspiracy has blown open, it is doubtful if the present institutions of party leadership can muster the required capacity to arrest the drift, Nigeria bulletin reports.

"It is my opinion that President Buhari, and the APC governors should now see APC as a recking platform that may not be strong enough again to carry them to political victory in 2019 and they should quickly begin a joint damage control effort to reconstruct the party in its claim to bring about the promised change before the party’s shortcomings begin to aggravate the challenges of governance in their hands.”
