Build your crumbling house, Accord Party tells Oyo ACN


The Oyo State chapter of the Accord Party has advised the ruling Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to concentrate efforts at saving “its fast crumbling party from imminent collapse” before it can contemplate doing the masses of the state any good.

This is just as the Accord Party enjoined the ACN to learn to deploy issue-based approach and superior arguments, if it ever had any, when responding to matters of political debates,”rather than the weather-beaten regime of crass abuse which has been the standard response from our “intellectuals.”

Reacting through its media director, Prince Dotun Oyelade, to a statement credited to the ACN, the Accord Party said “lack of consultation,high-handedness and a false sense of self-importance are reasons why the Ajimobi administration is faltering where it matters most.”

The release said that the ACN had turned government into a government of the few rich and “that is why it does not regret demolishing thousands of shops belonging to the poor in order to allow the cars of the rich to move freely.”

“The present administration makes fatal political mistakes because it is a one-man show and those experienced stakeholders have distanced themselves from the government because they are unwanted and have been told in clear terms.

Accord Party cited the demolition of the banquet hall inside the Government House as another example of a rampaging job-for-the-boys policy that wastes government resources,” the statement added.
