POLITICS The problem with opposition, by Agoro  Stories by Celestine OkaforAssistant Editor Saturday, June 26, 2004 LEADER of the National Action Committee (NAC) and one of the political parties in the CNPP membership, Dr. Olapade Agoro points out that the constraint is the lack of resources to tackle the PDP regime, among other issues. I will say that the opposition in this country is very effective and alive to its responsibility of checking what the PDP is doing. Right from the time the elections were concluded, the opposition has been up and doing. Individually and collectively, we have been on the neck of the party in power because they have not done right at all. I have criticised the policies of the Obasanjo government several times because I believe that they are not working. You can see it on the faces of the people that those policies are not working. The PDP, as a party, has nothing to offer this country and they know it. They are not organised, cannot manage the affairs of their party and so cannot manage this country. When we started off in this business of opposing the PDP, I personally didn’t know that we were going to last this long because we had no resources to do what we wanted to do. And up till now, the resources are not there because the PDP government ensured that the young parties in the opposition didn’t get what was due to them. They felt that if we were economically strangulated, we would  not be able to function. But you can see that more than one year after that election, they are still looking over their shoulder, afraid of the activities of the opposition. With time, their bad polices have made it easier for the opposition to go after them the more. What I think the PDP is doing is to merely create the impression before the public that they are not being opposed when indeed, the CNPP, NLC and others are really putting them under pressure. All these attempts to deny opposition parties the resources due to them are all grand designs to sustain this faulty impression. That is really the problem the opposition is having, lack of resources but I don’t think this will deter us at all.   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact © 1998- 2004.
