PDP AND APC MERGES

The union of David and Goliath

By OMOJUYIGBE OLANREWAJU

According to fresh reports just reaching Realnaijagists, the two rival political parties in Nigeria-The Peoples' Democratic Party(PDP and the APC his decided to shelve their did references and unite as one political party.
The decision which was announced by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,Goodluck Jonathan,was made after long talks and deliberation after which the two parties reached a consensus and signed the MOU.
According to the President, the .mergers shows that the leaders of the country are ready to do anything to make our country move forward.

IMPLICATION OF MERGER

Now I know by now,most Nigerians would wonder what is going on?
Where exactly is our country heading?
Is Nigeria gradually driving towards a one party state?

ONE PARTY STATE
It is however surprising how such impossible merger could be made. Where were The likes of Tinubu and Fashola? Where they not at the meeting? How about Governor Aregbeshola? I guess he must have been absent.
I used to think the two parties had seperare views on lots of issues,I fact we all know how these two parties have always openly critisized each other. What voodoo did Baba use to cement the relationship between the two parties?
Well,don't go too far,the answer is quite close. The 2015 general elections. The two parties are obviously up to something. They are trying to create a political party that will be strong enough to pull down any stronghold. Well,good for them as an organisation but how about us the masses?. This will also mean that the PCP or whatever the name will be called will become a demi-god in the world of politics,or which political party will ever be able to defeat the unified PDP/APC  party? With this kind of merger,it only means that their party will become the only actor in the political field as all other political party becomes Inconsequential.
It is really amazing how politicians in Nigeria just take decisions based on their own gains only without thinking of those who put them there, all they think about is how to execute plans that would enrich their pockets and make the masses remain same depriving them of their dividends of democracy.  Welcome to the month of April and don't be April fooled like you just have been.
