1. APC antidote to Nigeria's break-up - Akande National chairman of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN Chief Bisi Akande, in his solidarity speech at the convention, said: "That the CPC and ANPP are holding their national conventions the same day though in different locations to, among other things, endorse the ongoing merger process, barely three weeks after the ACN had done its own in Lagos, underscores the unquestionable commitment of the progressive Nigerian leaders to re-direct and reposition the politics and governance in this country".
2. Some of the dignitaries at the CPC convention included ACN chieftain Chief Audu Ogbeh, ACN BoT member Chief Tom Ikimi, Alhaji Musa Gwadabe, ACN BoT member Chief Segun Osoba, ACN national publicity secretary Lai Mohammed, former speaker of the House of Representatives Alhaji Aminu Bello Masari, Senator Solomom Ewuga, former military governor of Lagos State Brig-Gen.
3. Three major parties have now crossed the final stages for the formation of the All Progressive Congress (APC): the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) set the stage a few weeks ago in Lagos when it dissolved into the APC; yesterday, the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) held their last conventions to give way for the full emergence of the APC.
4. Onu cautioned that unless "we as a nation agree to strand firm for a change from the existing reign of confusion, injustice, selfishness and focus-less leadership of the ruling party, the nation is likely heading towards similar situation, but I am optimistic that we cannot allow this kind of situation to erupt in this country.
5. Also speaking, the CPC national chairman, Prince Tony Momoh, said the PDP had given democracy a bad name in Nigeria and the new party was out to redeem the image of democracy and give Nigerians good governance.
6. I sincerely hope and pray that every other step shall follow and that we will all join hands to break the stranglehold of evil that the Jonathan administration represents and has foisted on our country for the last two years.
7. Another motion conferring powers on the BoT or the national executives of the CPC to take decisions or actions on issues that may arise after the convention and before the merger is effected without resort to the convention was moved by Sule Yahaya Harma, CPC member from Kano State and BoT member.
8. He said that imposing one political party on the citizens of a country often degenerates into a disaster which, he added, could be learnt from the sad experiences of some Arab nations as well as countries now facing crises and other social disasters resulting from denial of transparent democratic justice.
9. Fani-Kayode continued: "I salute those that have found the courage to stand up against the tyranny, blackmail, pettiness and incompetence of the Jonathan administration and I, together with millions of others, stand shoulder to shoulder with them in their quest to restore and resurrect the fortunes of our country.
10. Politics without opposition is vain - Onu The national chairman of ANPP, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, has said the opposition is necessary for a healthy and enduring democracy in Nigeria.
