The All Progressives Congress has insisted that the rallies being held across the country by the so-called Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria represent an assault on the intelligence and sensibilities of Nigerians, at a time of unprecedented security and health challenges in the country.

In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Lagos State on Sunday, it noted that no amount of inversion of reasoning by the TAN foot soldiers can wash the rallies clean of shame and disgust.

It said, Only those described as morons and sycophants by Prof. Wole Soyinka can be engaging in celebratory rallies when soldiers are dying on the Boko Haram battle front, when citizens are daily being dispatched to their graves by insurgents and when the country is still reeling from the challenge of Ebola that has claimed many innocent lives.

The partywondered how the inauguration of its regional executives in Sokoto State could be equated with the rallies being held across the country by TAN, which is another name for shame, incompetence, cluelessness, cruelty, insincerity and insensitivity.

Itsaid, If President Goodluck Jonathan had not been running a government hallmarked by impunity, there is no way any political party would have brazenly kick-started electioneering campaign under the guise of an NGO that is coordinated by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ministers, State Governors and other public officials, at a time like this.

The PDP-led Federal Government and its NGO called TAN are bare-faced liars and cheats. They have seized an undue advantage over every other party by defying the nations laws to start an early electioneering campaign, and no one, not even INEC, dares call them to order! Little wonder, their podiums are collapsing under the weight of their lies.

The partyaccused TANs self-serving Director of Communications Udenta Udenta ofattempting to pull the wool over the eyes of Nigerians by shamelessly justifying the insane rallies.

It said, We have the following posers for the deceptive and pigs-at-the trough TAN organisers: If Mr Udenta and his co- travelers were parents, relations or friends of any of the over 200 missing Chibok schoolgirls, wouldnt such TAN rallies offend their sensibilities?

If Mr Udenta or any of his co-travelers in TAN had lost a relation or dear one to Ebola in Port Harcourt, wont such a rally in the same city about the same time offend their sensibilities? Can Mr. Udenta tell Nigerians the source of funding of TAN? Can Mr. Udenta tell Nigerians how much TAN has spent so far in canvassing for Jonathans re-election or for that matter how much it spends daily on radio jingles, television and newspapers advert, billboards etc? Can Mr. Udenta tender to the public TANs audited account?

We know Mr. Udenta has no answers to these posers, but we have no iota of doubt that Nigerians know that TAN is funded and powered by the massive corruption of this government, including but not limited to the missing $20 billion, the over one trillion fuel subsidy scam, the kerosene subsidy scam, the hundreds of thousands of barrels of our crude oil being stolen daily, the Pension scam, the Malibu Oil scandal etc. We also know through which top functionaries of government funds are funneled to TAN.

If you watch Fox News and then MSNBC cover racial issues, you can see clearly that conversations between progressives and conservatives about race frequently bog down. This happens because each side is unwilling to vary how they present their argument, thus stifling true dialogue.

In the eyes of progressives, conservatives are too quick to blame the victim by laying the problems facing black communities at the feet of blacks themselves.

For their part, conservatives see progressive concerns with the structural problems that lead to racial disparity as attacks on an economic system that conservatives believe has done a great deal of good for all, including persons of color. They also see the progressive agenda as expanding the power of government in ways they disagree with.

Both retreat to their corners, with progressives rejecting the blame-the-victim mentality and conservatives thinking that structural racism is code for ignorantly rejecting markets.

There is a way around this unwillingness to engage. Two recent events have pointed out how. The events in Ferguson have brought out libertarian voices like Rand Paul who have long argued that the militarization of local police forces have disproportionately harmed people of color, especially in the enforcement of the War on Drugs.

As the tragedy in Missouri continues, libertarian-leaning Rep. Paul Ryan has introduced a new anti-poverty program that includes a focus on the ways in which government intervention in labor markets has worked to make it much harder for poor Americans, especially ones of color, to move up the income ladder.

What both share is a belief that racial disparities need not be the result of direct person-to-person racism or the failings of minority communities. Rather, it is structural racism at work, and it concerns both libertarians and progressives, and it should concern conservatives.

When mostly white local police forces get military gear and supplies for SWAT teams and then use them to prosecute a War on Drugs that is far more likely to target black than white users, you have structural racism.

When mostly white politicians, often at the behest of mostly white businesspeople, pass occupational licensure and zoning laws that raise the cost of entering occupations or engaging in home-based businesses that are particularly attractive to non-whites, you have structural racism.
