Senator Anayo Rochas Okorocha on Monday said the the All Progressives Congress (APC) was hurried packaged to take power.
Okorocha who represents Imo West Senatorial District in the Senate said the ruling party may have been better but it has been hijacked by some people who have become lords.
According to him, progressive-thinking citizens must come together to make Nigeria work. He added that political parties in the country do not have ideologies and are only a vehicle to power.
“The movement for a new Nigeria has begun and we must come together, I mean progressive Nigerians, to make the country work.
“APC was a hurried arrangement formed to take power when the then government was drifting. APC would have been better until people who were not members of the party, people who came for a congratulatory message, hijacked the party and became lords.

“The issue is not about APC or PDP. It is beyond political parties. We are talking about the character of the politicians. Political parties in Nigeria don’t have any ideology – it is just a vehicle to come to power.
“So, what we have is not the ideal thing. We have so many people who are not interested in working for the nation.”
Okorocha said President Muhammadu Buhari could have performed better if he had surrounded himself with good people. He added that all the zones must be allowed to produce president.
“For instance, if President Muhamamadu Buhari had surrounded himself with good people, the story would not be the same today,” Okorocha said.
“We have bad people in APC, just as we have them in PDP and that was why I made the call in Rivers state that the good ones should come together to lead the people.”
