It will make sense also if you make a point about inclusion of the other two strategic national officials whose country's finance is entrusted to. Let your conscience judge you
Dear Sen. @KwankwasoRM
I respectfully disagree with this characterization of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. It is fair to scrutinize any government and demand better governance, but reducing the 2027 contest to a simplistic battle between oppressors and the oppressed does little to advance serious national debate.
The APCโs campaign council should be judged by the policies, programmes and vision it presents to Nigerians, not merely by the political identities of the individuals serving in it and the 2027 election should be a contest of ideas, records, competence and competing visions for Nigeriaโs future.
On Senator Abdulโaziz Yari, we all believe he is experienced enough to make his own judgment about whether to accept a national responsibility. His experience as a former governor and senior political leader should be seen as an asset to the political process, not automatically interpreted as complicity in every challenge confronting the country.
Nigerians are not passive victims waiting for political actors to tell them what their choices are. They are intelligent citizens capable of examining the records of governments, comparing alternatives and deciding for themselves what direction they want the country to take.
The 2027 election should therefore be about performance, ideas and the future of Nigeria, not inflammatory labels of โoppressorsโ and โoppressed.โ
Let Nigerians decide.
