Nasarawa Governor Spills the Beans: APC's Ambitions for Electoral Domination Revealed
Authoritarian Tendencies: Governor Sule Proclaims APC Aims to Secure 90% of Votes, Remaining 10% Allocated to Opposing Parties
In a shocking revelation, the Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has let slip that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is eyeing a whopping 90% vote share across elections, aiming to establish the party as a dominant political force.
According to our news outlet, Sule made these remarks during a clandestine meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on May 6. In response to concerns about a potential one-party state in Nigeria, Sule insisted the APC's objective is merely to be the top dog when it comes to electoral victories.
He further claimed that the recent wave of defections towards the APC, including high-profile figures like the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly and numerous local government chairmen from the PDP [2][4], is a testament to President Tinubu's performance and reforms.
In his own words: "We don't even want Nigeria to be a one-party state. We just want to be the dominant party. We just want to be the winning party. We just want to be the party. If we can win 90% of the votes, okay, that's it.
"The other parties can win 10% of the votes. So, it's not about..... and I'm not being sarcastic. I'm just trying to be serious with you. There is no way we can be a one-party state. But every party wants to be the dominant party."
Contrasting this ambition, Sule pointed out that even powerful democratic nations like America maintain multiple political parties, including lesser-known ones like the Green Party [6].
Addressing the on-going reforms under President Tinubu, Sule highlighted the removal of subsidies and the power sector's overhaul as notable examples. He further emphasized the party's focus on skill acquisition and agriculture, noting that these efforts would come with their own advantages and challenges [3].
In an interesting turn of events, the opposition parties in Nigeria continue to grapple with their internal conflicts while the APC strengthens its political control with its reform-driven momentum [1]. As the political landscape evolves, the APC's ambition for electoral dominance offers a compelling narrative in the world of Nigerian politics.
