Pat Utomi says although he’s a founding member of APC,
honesty behooves him to admit that the party has under-performed.
Speaking with NAN in New York, Utomi said that the party had to be
reformed to refocus it to its founding ideals. .
He
said some of the founding fathers were more committed to building APC
as an enduring political party. He, however, said some people are more
interested in taking titles in the party, rather than building it. .
“I’m
a member of the APC; I’m one of the real founding members of the APC,
Forget that because some of us committed more to building real stuff and
others rushed to take titles; but we founded the APC.
It’s
not been what we thought it would be; let’s be very honest, the party
has under-performed, the party’s structure has been poor. The party
leadership has been poor; government and the party have not worked well
together.
But we
shall reform it from within by God’s grace and make it work better. We
have to wish on God’s grace and hope that things work differently.
Anything that works, that will make a difference, I will do.”
