Chief Ebenezer Babatope, a former Minister of Transport and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday lambasted the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying there is nothing progressive about the policies and practices of the party.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Saturday INDEPENDENT in Lagos, Babatope, a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the PDP also said claims by some people that the late Obafemi Awolowo would have been a member of APC if alive is a utter rubbish.

According to him, Awolowo while alive fought against oppression of the down-trodden and ensured fairness, justice and equity for all Nigerians irrespective of their ethnic, religious or social background. All these, he said are lacking in APC.

“The APC call themselves progressives but in actual fact. There is no political party that is progressive in Nigeria today. Anybody who says Papa Obafemi Awolowo would have been a part of them if alive is just saying nonsense and wasting his time.

“Awolowo believed very much in the plight of the common people and ensured that they have a fair share in the governance of the country. That is why Nigerians have not forgotten the likes of Awolowo today.

“Where is the progressivism in APC today? Under their government, people are dying right, left, back and centre in this country and yet they say they are progressives. Anytime I listen to the news in Nigeria today, the first major items are issues relating to killings, kidnappings and mass murder. What kind of progressiveness is that?

“I want to plead with them that they should kindly put the interest of Nigerians at heart. I am also placing it on record that Nigeria is greater than all of us and therefore we must do everything that will aid the cause of peace, justice and fairness in the country.

“But as it is now, there is nothing progressive about the APC. They are only progressive by name, not by conduct,” he said.

Oh they are progressives in non payment of salaries, killings, famine, poverty, economy collapse, inconclusive elections, banking and stealing (monies) in bullion van and babaringa to mention but few!

They are really the progressives but in the opposite direction!

What is progressive about PDP after successfully destroying the nation for sixteen good years?
This man is a crying thief.
It was your likes that knew Awolowo was a better candidate and leader and yet voted a clueless Sheu Shagari mediocre against him out of Sentimental reasons.

Today Awolowo and Abiola are more respected than any president in history of Nigeria.

This man na grand patron of wailing wailers

ok


By the way We have Farmlands for sale in Ilorin at various locations Check my Signature for more details

Someone with sense



I build websites and I am based in Abuja, see my signature

It's obvious to the blind and audible to the deaf that APC is a below average party.

There's nothing wrong with the party per se. They only got it wrong in their choice of a man who would drive home their change agenda.

Entrusting presidential (executive) power in the hands of a senile old man and dullard like Buhari is like asking a toddler to drive a car.

Buhari lacks both the physical and mental strength to govern the smallest state in Nigeria, let alone a diverse nation with great natural and human resources like ours.

What is progressive about PDP?

this one is looking for national cake to chop. baba continue wailing Apc will never dignify you with a response or appointment

The foundation of APC is faulty(built to usurp power from pdp), with lies and propaganda, selling deception through perception, not for the welfare of the masses. There's obviously nothing progressive about Apc at the centre, once Buhari leaves in 2023, APC will die a natural death.

PDP is progressive abi? Ebino, stop wailing. Elections are over

What was progressive about you and your party during and after your rule in 16 years Abeg you guys should just go to hell and leave this country alone!!!

Says who ?..Ebenwhaat !?
Piece of sh*t will say anything to remain relevant.

Stop wasting our time.

All of you politicians are largely the same.

You make so much noise and achieve so little when you are given the position.

Did this ex minister hear Prof Soyinka speak a few days ago?

Their generation failed Nigeria.

We had a president who spent 16 billion dollars to procure darkness and to enrich India and the other makers of transformers.

16 years and there was no remarkable difference in anything - education, health, power remained comatose.

Then came the 'progressives' - what exactly is their plan, we dont know.

Sadly, they dont realize that four years is gone already, and all they can talk about is that they are growing rice as if they are farmers!

Ghana, next door, is crying out to Nigeria. WAKE UP from your coma, she says

In summary pls...??
