Bisi Akande States Differences Between APC, PDP
Bisi Akande, a former Governor of Osun State, has categorically stated the contrast between the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The elder statesman while speaking on Channels TV expressed that both political parties are not similar because they hailed from different backgrounds.
According to him, the PDP comes from a military background while the APC comes from the background of discussions, opposition, examination, and reviewing.
“Honestly, APC and PDP are not alike. They’re not alike because they’re coming from different backgrounds.
“The PDP is coming from the background of military incursion into governance.
“The original leaders of the PDP were soldiers, who didn’t want to leave power but had to leave power or agents of the military, like the contractors, who the military was using when they were in power.
“Military-inclined minds formed the PDP. But the APC is coming from the background of the opposition to the inheritors of the military in governance.
“And the military in governance is nothing but a bundle of impunity ..each leader works according to the way his brain works.
“But a civil administration needs a collective understanding of what should be done and that is through constant debate. The military has no room for debates.
“You have to obey the last order. What the master says is what is right. The master might be a fool but whatever command he gives, you must obey… So when you bring them to civil administration, the mentality of vandalism is the bedrock because they’re not trained to govern but to fight war… the totality of what the military in power did is impunity in power. The PDP came with that background and they were ruling like that.
“The APC came with the background of discussion, opposition, examination, reviewing and saying ‘okay let us come together and be in power…’”
Bisi Akande was the first interim Chairman of the APC.
