Political Ideology

I think the subject of ideology is tenuous in Nigerian politics. While manifestos and rhetoric are one thing, actions are another. The APC is a merger of political parties that do not have a history of being progressive, unless one is picky with the evidence. With mass migrations in from the PDP for example, it could hardly be considered a leftist party.

On the issue of Federalism, the argument could be made for this given the call for devolution from primarily the South-Western types within the party.

In the history of Nigerian politics, ideology is lacking ^[1]. Presently, the same argument can easily be made.

"It is argued that despite all pretences to the contrary through their manifestoes, as much as the superficial classifications as the “left” and “right”, “progressive” and “conservative”, Nigerian parties seem to be bereft of clear ideological commitments. This conclusion is predicated upon the relegation of politics of issues to the background across the various republics, and in its place the ascendancy of identity and money politics."^[2]

The APC is more of a center-left party though it is true that Nigerian parties seem to be clear of some ideological commitments but they appear to be on the left of the Nigerian spectrum, as a member of Socialist International.^[3] They could also be seen as a Big Tent party.Aelimian21 (talk) 00:09, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New Chairman

@Orpzy: Please stop adding unsourced content about the new chairman of the APC. If you have a reliable source to back up your edits, add it and you will not be reverted. However, as of now, it seems that the election for this position is ongoing and the caretaker chairman is still in his position. Toadspike (talk) 23:08, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just off recent news reports, Adamu has been elected chairman. However, he has not been inaugurated so Buni should remain listed. Watercheetah99 (talk) 01:11, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
