The Reformed-All Progressives
Congress (rAPC) has said it is too late for President Muhammadu Buhari and the
leadership of the party to start making peace and reconciliation moves to stop
their defection from the ruling APC.
The rAPC, made this known in a
statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Kassim Afegbua, on
Sunday.
“Just to make the point that it
is too late in the day; the train has left the station. Leopards cannot change
their spots no matter how much one tries to tame them.
“They are now pleading, ready to
submit to all demands. Who does not know that won’t work because examples have
shown that political agreements are often observed in the breach,” he said.
The R-APC said the Buhari
administration was not good at fulfilling promises as it is yet to fulfill its
promises made in 2015.
“This government is never a
promise keeper and some of the promises contained in the manifestos of the APC
have been jettisoned.
“The President, who has held
himself in the inner sanctuary of the Presidential Villa is all of a sudden,
opening his doors to one meeting or the other all in the name of re-election,”
the faction said.
The APC faction, in its
statement, said despite the initial haughtiness of party leaders, it is
surprised the president and the party are now pleading with its leaders to stay
with the party.
“We, members of the R-APC, find
it very amusing that those who boasted that they won’t lose sleep over our
altruistic action, have been hopping from door to door pleading with our
members not to leave by dangling juicy carrots and promising them heaven and
earth.
“Such level of double standard is
the reason why the R-APC was birthed in the first place because the leadership
is not one that keeps promises and it’s the reason why no one should take the
APC seriously.”
Go ahead and left the party bur alas the Nigerian people are not bland
