APC spent 3 years weakening opposition voices – David Mark

Ex-President of the Nigerian Senate, David Bonaventure Mark has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has spent the last 3 years weakening opposition voices and dismantling multi-party democracy for one party system.

He raised the high stakes alarm, while speaking at the national summit of opposition political leaders at the Banquet Hall of the Oyo State Government House in Agodi, Ibadan on Saturday.

Mark who is the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), accused APC of calculated attempt to dismantle multi-party democracy and impose a one-party system on Nigeria, declaring that the nation’s plurality was no longer a rumour, but a ‘deliberate agenda.’

Mark vowed that opposition parties wouldn’t allow consolidation of absolute power under any guise.

”The move to turn Nigeria into a one-party country is real. But it will not happen.

He said the struggle has gone beyond inter-political parties to APC and the people of Nigeria, adding that opposition stand unperturbed.

Mark further maintained that last week’s minor cabinet reshuffle was a desperate move to fix a sinking ship, stressing that the timing of the changes serves as a silent confession of incompetence by the presidency.

“Rejigging the cabinet at this time is an admission of failure. You don’t change a winning team; you only scramble for new hands when things aren’t working.”

Mark characterised the ruling party’s tenure as a record of failure, suggesting that administrative tweaks cannot mask deep-seated governance issues.
