Tony Anenih Cries Out: APC Is Now A Big Threat To PDP

The die is cast and it appears the chickens will be coming home to roast, afterall. We gathered that some hitherto bold men in the PDP who had boasted that no opposition can challenge their political dominance in Nigeria are now singing a different song. In fact, they are crying out. As you read this, the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih, has expressed fears over the congregation of top opposition parties under one umbrella... Anenih told the governors, federal lawmakers and state chairmen of the PDP that the move by the opposition political parties to form the APC is a big threat to the future of the PDP. Hear him: “We must not live under the illusion that our party is invulnerable. Although, the existing opposition parties are still too small, fragile and sectional, we must not ignore the possibility that a merger of these parties may constitute a threat to our current dominance of the political terrain. “We must not labour under the illusion that we can be spectators in the bold and necessary drama of national reconstruction, or, worse still, align with those who seek power for its own sake rather than for the good of our people. “We, therefore, have a strategic obligation to put our house in order so as to sustain the peace which we have enjoyed in the last 14 years...We must, therefore, subsume our ambitions under the greater good of our party and our country." Anenih also complained that the opposition has taken over the Governors' Forum from the PDP, saying this might be used as a ploy to win the support of some PDP governors. You may wish to know that the APC has promised to dislodge PDP come 2015 and give Nigerians a better deal with regargs to good standard of living, reduced corruption and proper social security.
