EXCLUSIVE: Opinion: Proposal For APC’s Slogan To Be Changed To PROGRESS; An Admittance Of Failing Government —PoliFocus

Report has it that the leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu have advocated that the logo of the APC should be changed from CHANGE to PROGRESS.

Though some people have seen this as a welcome development but I see it as another ploy to divert our attention from the ignoble way by which the party runs the affairs of the country at the moment.


The much publicised changed mantra is becoming a mirage by the day, economy is in comatose. No wonder why the Minister for Finance, Kemi Adeosun stated categorically that the economy is tactically in recession.

Nothing seems to works at the moment. People are loosing their jobs everyday and no new ones are created. All what we hear is empty promises.

After a year, one should have expected to be seeing positive and laudable steps but the reverse is the case. It is from a executive melee to legislative scuffle and also judiciary rascality.

Yes, it is good to fight corruption, I'm a staunch apostle of one but fighting corruption while the country is fading away is not a welcome development.

What will be the economic value of the change that hungry Nigerians gain from the slogan change?

Or should I believe that the CHANGE has been bastardised? But the embattled main opposition now campaigns with 'change the change'.

Like a popular Yoruba axiom, 'opa ti won fi naa iyale, o un be lori aja fun iyawo' literally interpreted as, the cane that was used to beat the first wife is still available to be used on the newly wedded wife.

For now, most Nigerians are anxiously waiting to boot APC out of power come 2019. President Muhammadu Buhari can still right the wrongs now before it will be too late.
