Ayo Obe,
What about the Ideologies of Tinubu and Atiku, influential party members whose concepts of corruption are in sharp contrast to that of Buhari?
IBK,
I was not equating "the thieves in APC" with Ideology, I presented another dimension of the troubles of the incoming ruling party.
CAO.

In any case, they are not members of the incoming party, and whatever influence they may have (or think they have - probably better to let the world imagine you have it than to actually try to exercise it and be exposed as a pretender) there are enough thinkers and activists of the next generation in APC to drive any ideology issues.Obasanjo certainly left the PDP and what with his criticism of Jonathan, APC barely restrained itself from offering him a membership card. But as with so much else, it was as much a case of people being driven away from the PDP or rather from President Jonathan (in Babangida's case, it was either go along with the Jonathan narrative about the state of the Army that he, Buhari and Obasanjo had allowed it to sink to, or publicly bale out), as it is a case of people deciding to throw their lot in with APC.--On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 9:07 AM, Chidi Anthony Opara <chidi.opara@gmail.com> wrote:The incoming Nigeria's ruling party is a convergence of strange ideological bedfellows; Tinubu, Buhari, Obasanjo, Babangida, Atiku, et al. There is definitely going to be an ideological implosion.
