Former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2019 presidential election, Dr. SKC Ogbonnia, says he can’t sacrifice competence, intellect and equit on the altar of party politics. <\/p>\n

This is as the APC chieftain announced his intention to dump his political party affiliation and its 2023 presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, to support the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr. Peter Obi.<\/p>\n

Ogbonnia said that his endorsement of Obi was because the LP presidential candidate is a \u2018democratic revolution, whose time has come,\u2019 adding that \u201cwith every sense of patriotism, he was joining the Nigerian masses to endorse Obi as the next president of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough I remain a member of All Progressives Congress, APC, I must not support Tinubu, its presidential candidate in the 2023 elections. The decision to endorse the candidate of an opposition party did not come easy. But there comes a time to say \u2018enough is enough\u2019, Ogbonnia stated.<\/p>\n

In a statement he made available to newsmen on Monday, Ogbonnia said that his first disdain for Tinubu<\/a> was spurred by the secrecy that is woven around his true identity. <\/p>\n

He averred that neither fellow party members nor ordinary Nigerians can claim to know who Ahmed Tinubu truly is.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything about the man is shady\u2014from his name, state of origin, the schools attended, certificates received; his record in America to his true source of income, let alone any true intention of seeking the presidency, apart from an arrogant claim that it is his turn to rule Nigeria.<\/p>\n

“Besides the shady background, a series of events also show that Tinubu does not have any good sense of equity, justice, fairness, and patriotism, virtues he claims to promote.<\/p>\n

The truth is that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is even more insensitive about the Nigerian state and her problems than President Muhammadu Buhari. It is a common knowledge that the APC National Leader no longer possesses the physical fitness to explore the Nigerian presidency, but it has equally become very apparent that he no longer has the mental capacity,\u201d Ogbonnia claimed.<\/p>\n

“I see intellect, character, competence, and capacity; I see integrity and humility. I see patriotism; I see dynamism. I see enviable and verifiable track-record; I see attainable visions; I see hope for the Nigeria of our founding dreams; I see a democratic revolution whose time has come. This move is consistent with my politics. I never allow the mere exigencies of ethnicity, religion, or party affiliation to becloud my judgment. As a member of the National Republican Convention (NRC), I crossed party lines to campaign for MKO Abiola, the flagbearer for the Social Democratic Party (SDP). I saw Abiola as a better candidate than the candidate of my party, Bashir Tofa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a card-carrying member of Peoples\u2019 Democratic Party (PDP) in its thickest state of Enugu. However, after the fraudulent general elections of 2007 where the ruling PDP dictated who won or who lost, I changed course. I vowed to join any movement that could remove PDP from power. I would become a foundation member of the APC and promoted Buhari to victory. I remain proud that we made history by dethroning the PDP\u2013a virally corrupt ruling party that had planned to hold on to power for 60 unbroken years. We demonstrated consequences for bad behavior.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, today, with Asiwaju Tinubu as its National Leader, the APC does not appear to have any ideological, moral, or ethical difference with the much-discredited PDP. Today, my party has shamelessly become a safe haven for corrupt kingpins indicted while in PDP. To make matters worse, the two presidential candidates of APC and PDP, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, respectively, are two of the most perfidious poster boys for Nigeria\u2019s corrupt oligarchy. In short, neither Atiku nor Tinubu can in good conscience campaign against corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is pertinent to note that no Nigerian leader, whether military or civilian, has ever assumed the governance of the country with the degree of mercenary influence cum notoriety commonly equated with Atiku and Tinubu. I have a conscience. I have chosen my country over my party. I have become OBI-dient for the greater good of Nigeria!! I call on other true progressives to do so,\u201d Ogbonnia charged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
