Supporters of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are fond of telling their critics they “can’t stop a moving train.” In Kaduna, on March 28, the moving train of the APC derailed both as fact and as metaphor. The following day, on March 29, the second leg of the Nigeria-Ghana World Cup qualifier was to occur. For that first leg, across the geographical space of Nigeria and its various diversities, they all seemed to wish the Super Eagles well in Kumasi. When he addressed the Convention, the president remarkably did not cite one area in which the country had made progress under his watch. The APC Convention took no notice.
