Former lawmaker and Chief of Staff to Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Patrick Obahiagbon otherwise known as Igodomigodo has said that the newly formed All Progressive Congress, APC, is capable of sacking the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP from power in 2015.

According to him, the federal administration, led by the PDP has not done enough yet, saying that the party is like an apple of Hesperides sitting atop a perilous precipice.

He said, “The formation of the APC is a salubrious political intervention in the polity. That the PDP behemoth has led the ship of state into avoidable economic cataracts and political ox-bow lakes is a fact too glaring and indubitable to be contested. Nigerians do certainly need an alternative credible political platform to checkmate the power megalomania of the PDP. The merger would work if its prime facilitators vigorously resist the temptation to be detained by their presidential calculations and allow the more sublime sentiments of enthroning the Nigeria of our dreams to propel the process. You will agree with me that the PDP is just now like an apple of Hesperides sitting atop a perilous precipice and Nigerians are ready to embrace the APC as a veritable battle axe for their freedom from the political jobbery and carpet-bagging of the PDP. It is only now left for the opposition to show discipline, vision, altruism, patriotism and an historic commitment to revolutionary change. The leading luminaries in this effort to cleanse the Nigerian Augean stables must resist the temptation of selling out and disappointing Nigerians at the end of the day.

Asked if President Goodluck Jonathan deserve a return, the gramarian said, “I have consistently held the view that poverty is poverty whether it resides in the North, South, West or East and it is for that reason I thought, during the last presidential election and still do think, that the Presidency of Nigeria is too serious a subject to be reduced to parapoistic (conspiratorial) shenanigans. To answer the question if the Jonathan administration has met the goodwill with which it rode to power must lead to other epiphenomenal questions such as, what has improved today in the material conditions of the ragtag and bobtail since the president’s emergence and how has he deployed his powers in aid of the utilitarian matrix? It does appear to me that Nigeria is still a sleeping giant standing on spaghetti legs even today.”
