The opposition has cried foul, claiming that the popular acronym APC (armoured personnel carrier) would give the new party undue advantage at the polls come 2015, the correlation between that and it's real meaning (all progressives congress) still eludes me, this however is none of my business.
My concern however stems from the fact that far beneath all the criticisms and finger-pointing, both political parties are just the same, a change of name does in no way imply a different personality. The same crop of 'selfless, sacrificial' politicians who have led this country into this abyss of poverty and impoverishment are still the captains of this new APC gunship. I heard over the weekend about four northern governors from the PDP who are now in talks with the APC in respect of their interest to decamp. My question therefore remains, does an old wine in a new bottle make the wine new?
