In a recent statement, former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, highlighted the political prowess of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) compared to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Ahmad noted that past PDP presidents like Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan refrained from criticizing their predecessor, Olusegun Obasanjo, showcasing a level of unity within the party.
Expressing his concerns, Ahmad emphasized the need for the APC to focus on acknowledging the achievements of the previous administration while discreetly addressing its failures. He stressed the importance of unity within the ruling party, particularly in supporting President Bola Tinubu’s policies and upcoming elections in 2027.
Ahmad lamented the trend of the APC amplifying the faults of the previous administration, providing ammunition for the opposition instead of focusing on delivering the best for the country. He urged the party to adopt a more strategic approach to governance, avoiding distractions from the opposition.
Reflecting on the past 16 years of PDP rule during the oil boom, Ahmad questioned the lack of tangible results, suggesting that the APC should learn from past mistakes and work towards a more cohesive and effective government.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Ahmad’s insights serve as a reminder of the importance of unity, strategic planning, and a focus on delivering results for the Nigerian people. Let us heed his words and strive for a better future for all.
