National Chairman, All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has said that the party will salvage Nigeria from its current challenges and provide Nigerians with a true visionary and progressive leadership.

He stated that the party was poised to rescue the country from the precipice of underdevelopment and return it to the path of greatness.

While appealing to Nigerians to support the APC in the forthcoming general elections, he commended a former Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki, for his efforts in nation building.

The APC boss spoke in Ilorin on Saturday during the 50th birthday anniversary of Sarakis wife, Toyin.

While eulogising Toyin for supporting her husband, he said Saraki took a good decision by dumping the Peoples Democratic Party for the APC.

Odige-Oyegun said, Your husband has the singular courage from a commanding position of a party with better federal might to come down to becoming a member of the APC, that is the opposition party with a very good prospect.

And every day he works assiduously to ensure that he will be back in power as part of a new government that will bring change, prosperity and hope to Nigerians in 2015.

He has passion for that vision and together with those of us here who have resolved to rescue this country, because we are the greatest black nation on the face of the earth with potential for greatness.

With the people like Bukola Saraki, the ex-chairman of the new PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje here and another courageous man such as Owelle Rochas Okorocha and the legitimate secretary of the PDP, Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola, the PDP is a party that is fast sinking into oblivion.

This should be Andrew Cuomos springboard moment: He has tens of millions in the bank and every sign of routing his largely forgotten Republican challenger to win a second term. Throw that together with whats still one of the best-known names in Democratic politics and a record of balanced budgets and wins on gay marriage and gun control, and election night should, for an ambitious big-state governor, be the first step toward a White House run.

Barring true shockers, Cuomo will win his Democratic primary Tuesday, as will his embattled running mate, former Buffalo-area Rep. Kathy Hochul. But the governor is finishing the nomination fight amid a sense in Albany that his political clout is diminished, progressives who believe hell always value his power over their principles, and a re-calibrated rivalry with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Cuomos even fallen behind in usefulness to Hillary Clinton the New Yorker whos likely to clear the field of most other Democrats, particularly those also from the Empire State with the upstart challenge from Zephyr Teachout and her running mate Tim Wu exposing Cuomo as out-of-touch with the political passions of many liberal New Yorkers, and with a larger sense of progressivism thats now defined much more by economic than social issues.

Thats the progressivism represented by de Blasio a former Cuomo aide whom the governor started off the year all but trolling, and on whom hes finished the primary season leaning, repeatedly, to backstop him.

Whatever Cuomos speculated-on national plans actually were, they are on ice for the foreseeable future. De Blasio is now the figure whos more valuable to Clinton or any Democrat heading into presidential politics in the coming cycle. There is a freshness to the mayors family, his use of social media and an approach to politics that has made Cuomo look creaky by comparison.

Cuomo cant buy Clinton much of anything with the 2016 electorate. De Blasio, who has created a fusion organization of political support that trumped other organizational muscle in his primary in 2013, can buy a lot, especially for a presidential candidate whose bona fides on income inequality are being scrutinized.

Cuomo stormed into Albany four years ago on a promise of cleaning out corruption, fixing the always-disastrous state budget and restoring New York as the progressive leader of the country. Hes arriving on primary day with a federal investigation of supposed meddling into his anti-corruption Moreland Commission which exacerbated political troubles simmering over a left-wing revolt over spending cuts and tax breaks hed signed off on and a failure to press for stricter campaign finance rules. That only intensified as Cuomo attempted to get Teachout thrown off the ballot in a move that made many New York politicos privately shake their heads.

(Also on POLITICO: NYT to Cuomo: No endorsement)

Even Cuomos 2011 push for legalizing gay marriage, at the time a controversial effort that was seen as a definitive progressive validator for an eventual White House run, has faded from peoples minds.
