APC and the Audacity of Delusion What is interesting about the APC is that leaders who were once seen and treated as villains, have today become heroes either because they have turned into political allies of the All Progressive Congress or because they have sympathy, or because they have joined the army of those bashing President Goodluck Jonathan. Those members of the same PDP who were described as thieves, bad persons, election riggers among other crimes yesterday have become as clean and white as snow because they defected to ACP. There is something chameleonic in the character of politics in Nigeria. The motivating factor is greed rather than morality and the selling point is blackmail. Perhaps if Gen. Sani Abacha were to be alive today; and declares for APC, then he too would become “a new creature, all old things will pass away,” that is really a good concept but the snag is that such repentance is not from the heart, the leopards have retained the spots in their skin. The truth is that we are in a situation where some people reason for us based on their interest and interpretation of events and situations. We are manipulated according to their whims and desires, the elite tell the masses what is the truth, what is acceptable and what is not. In this process the dividing line between honesty and hypocrisy is blurred.
