PDP and APC Are Expired Parties - Goodluck Jonathan's

Doyin Okupe has lambasted his former party the PDP and the ruling APC as he said the two parties have lost their relevance in the country. 
A former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Doyin Okupe on Thursday admitted that his former party the Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressives Congress are expired parties.
 
He said that the Accord Party is Nigeria’s only hope for political development. The Nation Reported that Doyin said this in Ibadan, Oyo State, while addressing the party’s delegates at the 2017 South West stakeholders’ summit held at the Olubadan Stadium complex, NTC Road, Iyaganku, Ibadan.
 
The meeting attracted party’s delegates from Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti States.
 
Also, a former member of the House of Representatives, Dr. Bukola Ajaja, was publicly presented with the party flag as the new leader of the party in Oyo State by the South West zonal chairman, Mr. Kayode Ojo.
 
Okupe, who left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Accord Party, said the current two dominant parties in the country – All Progressives Congress (APC) and the PDP have failed to deliver democratic dividends to the citizens, and as such leaving Accord Party as the best alternative for the people.
 
He said: “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.”

No new measures shall be introduced.” ― Article 34, West Africa-EU EPA, December 3, 2014 With one million Africans estimated to be on their way to Europe via the Sahara-Mediterranean corridor, awareness is growing that curbing migration will only be possible if Africans can see a future for themselves where they were born. For too many, that is not the case. Both African and European leaders share the responsibility and might be on the brink of repeating the mistakes of the past, once more. Paul Immanuel, 24, shivers while staring into the meagre bonfire that is being fed stolen pallets. The West African is one of the remaining men in Ghetto Ghana, a hidden community ...
