The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says he made a big sacrifice to ensure that the All Progressives Congress did well in the last elections.

Tinubu, who is a former governor of Lagos State, said this at the 70th birthday anniversary of social commentator and National Democratic Coalition chieftain, Prof. Segun Gbadegesin, in Lagos on Monday.

The APC leader said the Peoples Democratic Party ruled Nigeria for 16 years because opposition parties failed to unite.

He recalled that in 2011, his party, the Action Congress of Nigeria; Congress for Progressive Change and the All Nigeria Peoples Party presented separate presidential candidates and the PDP leveraged on the small size of these parties.

Tinubu said there was also a tendency for the leaders of smaller parties to make themselves the presidential candidates of their respective parties thereby causing division within their parties.

He said ahead of the 2015 election, however, leaders of the legacy parties (ACN, CPC and ANPP) that formed the APC, including himself, had to suppress their personal ambitions to be able to “chase away the PDP government led by former President Goodluck Jonathan, because in the past those who float political parties end up as its chairman and presidential candidate.”

Tinubu, who was also part of the NADECO campaign from exile, told the audience that progressive politics was the answer to the problems of Nigeria and that the hope and confidence Nigerians had in the APC before the elections would not be dashed

Also speaking at the launch of Gbadegesin’s book, titled “All The Way: Serving With Conscience”, a former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba, praised the contribution of Gbadegesin to the pro-democracy struggle, with the programmes he anchored in Yoruba Language on the defunct Radio Kudirat.

Osoba described Gbadegesin as a peacemaker saying, “He visited me the other day, to plead that I should reunite politically with my estranged APC family.”

Gbadegesin, a Professor of Philosophy, was the Head of Department of Philosophy and Dean, College of Arts and Sciences, Howard University, Washington DC, United States, who worked as an undercover operative in the dark days of the Gen. Sani Abacha military dictatorship as one of the main anchors of Radio Kudirat; the propaganda organ of NADECO.

Jagadan

Otooro

Eight months ago she was a minister in Africa's most populous nation and the president of OPEC making her one of the world's most powerful women alive. Today she is begging the cold hands of death to spare her life from the grip of cancer.
Seven months ago he had won the biggest soccer league in the world as manager of one of the world's most talked about football teams. Today he is jobless and the subject of jokes in the sports world.
He was released after 1year to serve a 4year house arrest term for culpable homicide of his model South African girlfriend. Then suddenly, on December 3rd he was convicted of murder for the same action by an appeal court.
On a Saturday afternoon he was leading the polls to be governor of his Nigerian middle belt state. By 7pm the same day he was pronounced dead by the doctors
.
And so the stories of Diezani, Mourinho, Oscar and Audu remind us of what effect the passing of time can have on our lives and how unready life can make us look regardless of the insight and work invested into
securing tomorrow.




Dear privileged reader of this post, please remember nothing last as long as we may think, so RONU JUNE and live a life of HUMILITY and GRATITUDE.

Politics of the pocket

I believe almost every nigerian who voted for PMB made one sacrifice or the other, however this may be, some don't get to choose or even get to bring somebody who gets a political position.

So, please spare us. LOL.
