And what have they achieved?

 

[ProfRem]

Maybe or maybe NOT. It is still early to judge APC performance according to a PDP Stalwart.

 

[PatrickGilbert]

Is not about APC or PDP because I don't trust any of them. Rather all I see in both parties are group of time wasters who lavish our time playing their silly games believing or hoping that they are the smart ones. I hope that Nigerians are not screwed again! My point is they spends much time attacking each other or playing them self over positions. If they co-operate focus and channels their energy in positive direction then I see the country moving forward.
