R-APC Members Are Like Viruses In APC’s Body – Sagay
.Says They Are The Real Enemies Of Buhari’s Government
Lagos – Prof.
Itse Sagay, Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against
Corruption ( PACAC) has described the breakaway faction of the ruling
All Progressives Congress ( APC), Reformed APC as itinerant politicians
who decided to leave the party because they couldn’t get what they want.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with
Daily Independent, Sagay said the rAPC members who are like viruses are
not different from herdsmen, moving from one political party to another
looking for what to ‘chop’.
“The so-called Reformed APC is also the same as the New PDP. These
are itinerant characters who are not better than the cattle herders.
They move from place to place in search of greener pastures. Once the
grass is no longer lush again, they move to another place”.
“They think they are not enjoying enough
‘chop’ in APC, so they want to go and look for somewhere else to perch
in order to ‘chop’. All they believe in is to live to eat, acquire
assets without the interest of the country at heart. How to develop
Nigeria and rid it of corruption doesn’t matter to them”.
“These are people who have not made any contributions to national life. So, I am not surprised that they have moved” he said.
Describing their exit as good riddance, Sagay
who said the rAPC members are the real enemies of the party also said
they have no right to the use of the acronym ‘APC’ as they are not
registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) with
the name.
He challenged them to go and form a new political party if they believe they have the popularity to win elections
According to him, with their exit, the
APC will now be healthier and filled with progressive-minded politicians
who will assist the government in achieving its goals and allow APC
fulfill its promises to Nigerians .
“The only caveat I will enter for them is
that they should not use the name rAPC which is Reformed APC. They
shouldn’t use that word because they are not registered in that name and
they will not be registered in that name”.
“If they feel they have clout and
support, let them form their own party and contest elections
independently instead of behaving like spoilers which is really what
they wanted to do”.
“So in my view, I think it’s good
riddance for them to go, a very good riddance. It is like getting rid of
poison from your body. These are the moles within the APC; the enemies
who have been ruining and wreaking the party right from 2015 that has
rendered the management of the party in tatters”.
“These are the enemies who sold the
Deputy Senate President position to PDP. Thereafter, they, alongside
with the people to whom they sold the APC’s slot of Deputy Senate
President now form an official opposition to the APC-led federal
government”.
“There is no other opposition to the federal government than these two. The
senate, made up of those who sold the birthright of APC to PDP and PDP
lawmakers, these are the two people who constitute a very vicious
opposition to this government. So, their leaving the party is good
riddance”.
“With their exit, the APC will now be leaner, purer, fresher, stronger and more united. They will now be filled with real progressives and they will be stronger for it. These
ones who left are like viruses in a human being. It is an additional
element in your system but it is running down that system. That is what
they were. So, it is good for them to go” he said.
