I grew up knowing APC medication!
It was a gbogbo ise as far as body pains were concerned.
When I was a child, although there were good hospitals in Nigeria, people wouldn’t want to be bogged down with the bureaucracy involved like obtaining cards, queuing to await their turn, and what else? So, they would rather depend on people who had suffered a similar fate or resort to the ubiquitous chemists.
I understand APC medication is still around in Nigeria, but the APC political party is the real McCoy.
For those who didn’t know, the APC gradually rose to the top of the nation. By the way, the chatellized voters are easy to deal with. Once a rich man knocks on their door and says he wants to give them stomach infrastructure, they are prepared to follow him even to hell because they’re being weaponised by hunger. They hardly think of the counter-effects or the future of their children.
It therefore comes easily for Nigeria to become a de facto one-party state. The people have used their representatives in the states to join the APC. As of the last count, the party had 28 states out of 36 in its kitty.
Since the people, with their lack of balls, have accepted the APC version of a one-party state, we should look at the advantages of a one-party state:
The first is political stability: Once we have a single political party in power, there would be fewer disruptions caused by changes in government or even electoral challenges. This, of course, would save the government a lot of money. For instance, the electoral body should be disbanded, and we won’t need foreign observers since there’d be no elections anyway. The government would be stable as protesters would be treated as common criminals and tried for felonies.
There would be efficient decision-making. Some people have been complaining that there’s hardly any separation of powers; it would now be so formal that no one would be able to do nada. This is because the government would be the sole authority; for clarity, all powers would lie with the executive.
The president is the state, and the state is the president.
Unified vision: Everything would be seen through the myopic lens of the executive. Anyone who thinks or sees otherwise would be arraigned in court for treason. Don’t forget the fact that the executive would be in control of the courts,
Nigerians!
Nigerians!
Nigerians!
How many times did I call you?
Welcome to the rulership of a Frankeistein plus Ajantala rolled into one!
The national anthem would be deservingly changed again to “On your mandate.”
Meanwhile, the people are already used to the four-year system of stomach infrastructure!
