The All Progressive Congress (APC), chieftain in Kogi State, Chief Clarence Olafemi has predicted the collapse of both the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before 2019.
Olafemi, in an interview with journalists in Lokoja said that, his prediction was predicated on the lingering crisis within both party which he said was defying all efforts aimed at resolving them.
“Having seen both the inside and outside of both parties at one time or the other, I make bold to say that both parties will break before the next General election in 2019,” he stated.
The one time Acting Governor of Kogi State, however, expressed delight in the registration of more political parties as it would afford opportunities to people to make choices in the next dispensation.
The former speaker of the State House of Assembly who also has a word of advise to the Kogi state Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, said the Governor should retrace his steps if he wanted to make any headway in the administration of the state.
According to him, “one of the greatest mistakes of the Governor was to have the impression that whoever criticises him was his enemy,” adding that his aids were also not helping him as they were busy dropping his name everywhere.
“Governance everywhere is a serious business; his duty as a governor involves bringing all the warring factions in the state together instead of spending the states resources on unproductive venture such as wanting to recall Senator Dino Melaye.
“The governor is surrounded by a bunch of hypocrites and bunch of kindergarten advisers without political knowledge,” he stressed.
