The current All Progressives Congress, APC, has never been a real political party, according to former Jigawa State Governor Alhaji Sule Lamido.

According to Lamido, the party was the result of resentment, hatred, and rage.

This was said by the former governor in his autobiography, “Being True To Myself,” which was made public on May 13th, chapter 16, page 421.

According to ZINGTIE, the former governor of Jigawa, who was a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed his surprise at learning that his fellow PDP members had defected to the opposition in advance of the 2015 elections.

He went on to say that he did not think twice about distancing himself from their choice.

“I once had cause to explain to some members of the public after the APC was formed, that it was created out of anger, malice and hatred. It was not and has never been a serious political party; its proponents were only parochial scavengers, who see politics as a huge enterprise.

“In 1999, we had the PDP, AD and APP as the three major national parties and the AD and APP jointly fielded Olu Falae against PDP’s candidate, Obasanjo, who won the election.

“The AD/APP alliance later dissolved into the ANPP, but they lost the elections; it was these losers that later came together to establish the APC.

“What the APC did was to turn history upside down and promote a so-called ‘Mr. Integrity’ and hoodwinked Nigerians with false tags,” he stated.

Lamido went on to say that during the height of the internal turmoil inside the PDP, he declined multiple pleas from APC promoters to join their ranks, stating that he believed it was honorable to stay in the PDP and contribute to the party’s problem-solving.
