Yes, APC Can Defeat PDP But It'll Be Difficult ––Bukola Saraki

Former governor of Kwara State, Senator Bukola Saraki has said it will take a lot of work for the new mega party, the APC, to dislodge the PDP, in 2015 elections. He however did not rule it out:

"Now we have a national opposition party. The registration of APC is a good development, by the APC’s registration, Nigeria now has a real opposition party. Before now all the parties claiming to be opposition parties are merely regional parties.  

"Elections will not be taken for granted again. APC is good for our democracy. It is a real alternative. It will make those of us in the Peoples Democratic Party to sit tight.”

Senator Bukola Saraki, representing Kwara Central in the National Assembly who spoke in Ilorin, Kwara state, however said the APC has all its takes if the forces within are sincere.

He said, “Let me congratulate the opposition on the registration of APC. It’s good for our democracy. But time will tell how cohesive the APC people are."

He said it is their ability to work together without rancour that would make the difference.
