APC, PDP are big trucks ravaged by old age, misuse, Jonathan’s ex-aide Okupe says

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been described by Doyin Okupe as big trucks whose relevance have been affected by old age and misuse.

According to Okupe, the two big parties in the country have currently expired and hold no hope for political development of the country.

Okupe, who was a Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan, and former member of the PDP stated this while addressing delegates of his new party, Accord, at the party’s 2017 South West stakeholders’ summit held at the Olubadan Stadium complex, NTC Road, Iyaganku, Ibadan.

He told the delegates that Accord Party is Nigeria’s only hope for political development.

“The Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress are big trucks which old age and misuse has affected their relevance. Today, the PDP and APC have expired as a party. PDP as an automobile has spoilt its back aisle while APC crank shaft has broken.

“Accord is the only hope for political development in Nigeria. This party is for Nigerian youths to achieve their lofty dreams and ambition of managing their own affairs in this country.

“I am old and not interested in any office again. Nigerian youths can be whatever they want to be in Accord. You don’t need the so much touted experience, myself and some elders here will teach you on the job to master it.

“Youths cannot be allowed to flourish in either PDP or APC but we’ll provide the necessary platform to excel and teach you all in Accord. We’ll teach you how it is done in an ethical manner; not how to kill, steal or corrupt the system. Accord is the best platform to realise your dream. This party is preparing the solid platform for the youths evenly,” Okupe said.
