by Lawrence Chinedu Nwobu Beyond criticising President Goodluck Jonathan and his ruling party, the APC has never managed to produce a practical, comprehensive and inspiring manifesto that proffers solutions that breaks radically from the status quo. The states under their control have yet to demonstrate any collective ideology, curb corruption nor show any exceptionalism in... Read More
