Inter alia....APC sectarianism APC is a party of convenience. It is the party of autocratic political masqueraders pretending to be democrats. It is the party of power-hungry politicians with regional agendas. It is a party of those inclined to plunge Nigeria into sectarianism because personal ambition is given greater saliency over the national interest. It is the party of those who have remained largely silent and complicit in the face of Boko Haram insurgency. It is the party of those who are inclined to use the national tragedy of the kidnapping of innocent Chibok schoolgirls for party-political gain. The very fact that Fani-Kayode felt the need to protest to the powers-that-be in the APC that “the APC is not an affiliate of Al Qaeda and neither is it a Boko Haram party, a Janjaweed party or a Muslim Brotherhood Party” shows it is beginning to be perceived as one or all of the above. In life, perceptions are often more important than reality. It is a testament to the disdain with which the APC holds Nigerians that it is doggedly refusing to address these growing perceptions. On the contrary, it seems inclined to confirm them. (THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY FEMI ARIBISALA IN HIS COLUMN WITH PREMIUM TIMES AND IT WAS PUBLISHED ON 25th JUNE 2014)
