PDP vs APC: A Dialectical Analysis
By Rev Olu Martins
Birds of the same feather flock together.
Show me your friends and I’d tell you who you are.
On the basis of party for party, candidates for candidates, philosophy for philosophy, leadership for leadership, history for history, the PDP is light years ahead of the APC.
Let’s do the comparison together
(1)Candidate for Candidate
Without much ado, one can conclude that the APC candidate won’t even qualify to be the personal assistance of the PDP candidate ‘if not for fence wey fall.’
Whether you are talking about personal achievement or personal life they are not in the same category. I don’t even want to talk about intelligence, charisma or use of language because those ones are so obvious that the blind can see and the deaf can hear. It’s like the difference between Jesus Christ and the devil.
(2) Deputy Governorship Candidates
This case is no better than the Governorship Candidate to Governorship Candidate. The APC deputy Governorship can’t sit in the same church congregation of the PDP candidate how much less putting them in the same class in the school of character leaning and human capacity. The PDP deputy governorship candidate is a gentleman man with the heart of gold who has endeared himself to the people by his good deads and great acts of kindness while the APC candidate is a shady personality with a shady past that he wants no one to talk about. Even his own “boys” say he is a user and a hard hearted fellow.
(3) Party Chairmen for Party Chairman.
The PDP chairman is a stand out chairman among party chairmen in Nigeria. Highly educated, organized and humane who is always tolerant of divergent views. The APC chairman on the other hand ehn ( Na wa)! A questionable character with a penchant for lying, who can lie even on Sunday morning before a Rev Father. He is a known bully and an advocate for the use of brute force. Unfortunately for him his bleached skin makes it easy for people to spot him out even in the dark which helps to keep him in check because when the police pretend they can’t see him doing bad things that he is known for, we can help them spot him out.
Director General for Director General
This is the only area that there are some near standards for comparison. Even when the APC Director General has something to offer intellectually but he is quite elitist in his approach to politics. His location is inaccessible and his premises is over fortified ( only God knows what he is afraid of). Comparing him to the PDP Director General who is known as the king of boys that operates an open door policy in terms of accessibility and credibility, you can see that the PDP’s Director General is still literally and politically taller than the APC Director General.
Party Leader for party leader.
The APC party leader is one person I like because of his seeming elocution but that oftentimes dovetails into garrulousness. Unlike the PDP party leader who is reticent calculative and smooth. Record for record, organization for organization the leader of the PDP stands taller than the APC counterpart. Just like Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, the APC leader is like Ronaldo who is loud and temperamental while the records of achievement are with the PDP’s leader who is like Messi quiet and skillful.
Just in case you are wondering the state I am talking about, let me help your presence, na Edo State as it stands today.
