PDP boss wants its governors to give credit to the party, continues their assessment.

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bamanga Tukur, on Tuesday, said the party’s 23 state governors were the best in the country as they have performed better than their contemporaries in other parties.

The party chairman, however, warned the governors not to ascribe the glory of their achievements to themselves, but instead give it to the party which offered them the platform to serve.

He warned the governors never to fall prey to the antics of praise singers, adulators and those he described as “grovellers,” who, according to him, will always be around them.

He added that “the grovellers” have mastered the trick of causing government officials to derail, stressing that such people are responsible for making public servants to develop swollen heads and feel bigger than the party.

“If you are performing and everybody acknowledges it, it is not you who should take the credit, but the PDP,” Mr. Tukur said after a closed-door meeting with some former members of the National Assembly, who visited him at his Abuja home. “It is the party that gave you the platform to serve and so the party’s name, like a label, must be attached to every achievement you made.”

PDP governors are best

The PDP boss boasted that the PDP governors remain the best among their colleagues in the country, adding that they have landmark achievements to show for their tenures. He said that he had personally visited some of the PDP-controlled states to assess the spate of development and realized that the party’s governors are not comparable to those of other parties in terms of performance.

Mr. Tukur listed the areas the PDP governors acted superbly as education, infrastructure, agriculture, rural development, power generation, transportation and aviation, which he said were based on the party’s manifesto.

He said, “The best performing governors are in PDP, no doubt. I took note of this during the reconciliation tour we made, and I also got reports on their day-to-day performances and to me, we must give the PDP the credit.”

He, however, asked governors to work hard and be more committed to public good in preparation for the 2015 general elections.

Mr. Tukur told the governors to take a cue from President Goodluck Jonathan who, according to him, has been demonstrating great virtues and consistency in the face of challenges facing Nigeria, while also placing the PDP at the center of his agenda. He stated that given the efforts so far put in place by those he considered as high performers, it is clear that the Transformation Agenda of Mr. Jonathan, which he claimed was anchored on the PDP manifesto, is on course.

PREMIUM TIMES had exclusively reported how the PDP’s current manifesto is a three-page document devoid of basic things a manifesto should contain.

He said that the party’s national secretariat will continue to assess the performances of the governors so as to encourage them to increase their efforts in the delivery of democracy dividends to Nigerians.

Eko Ile: Bu ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha a.....


lmao. I no fit shout abeg...



This man funny pass basketmouthI swear..

Afam4eva: He's right actually. Despite the fact that a lot of PDP governors have done badly, the best have also come from their. It's because they are the majority, so the best and worst would most likely come from there.

Texas.Cowgirl:


And they are?

What have they done?

Afam4eva:
According to popular opinion, the most popular governors are Akpabio, Amaechi, Chime and Fashola. You see that 3 out of 4 of them are PDP. Even during Obasanjo's time, the best Donald Duke was PDP.

Texas.Cowgirl:


So you can name 3, and how many PDP govs do we have?

malc619: @Eko Ile: Why are you surprised?? Tukur is spot on!!

Doesn't my shyte smell better than fried rice??

malc619:

You've got to be kidding me...

Did you read the article?? If you did, then your comprehension skills have a very big "COMMA"...

Afam4eva:
Read my first comment. I also agreed that the worst are most likely PDP governors too. They represent the best and the worst.

Eko Ile:


Who are the best and what have they done..?

Afam4eva:
According to popular opinion, the most popular governors are Akpabio, Amaechi, Chime and Fashola. You see that 3 out of 4 of them are PDP. Even during Obasanjo's time, the best Donald Duke was PDP.

dayokanu:

Chime that has been absent for the past 1yr is now the best governor?

Maybe you can also say Yakowa thats dead or Suntai thats been hosptalised for months is also the best governor

The same Akpabio that has been buying private jets with State money is now the best governor

Afam4eva:
If we go this way, then we will also argue about who ever you state as the best. Mind you, my list is by popular opinion.

Afam4eva:
Absent in your dirty mind. The same Chime that was at the SS-SE meeting in Asaba and the same that met with Jonathan in Enugu? Even if he has been absent for 1 year, does that take away his achievement? Chime achieved a lot in the few months that he was in hispital more than the four years of some governors. GIve respect to whim it's due.

Eko Ile:


It really doesn't mater what state or what list, just support your statement with something credible..

When you make definitive and profound statements, you should be able to back them up with credible and rationale submissions.

Afam4eva:

dayokanu:

How can he be achieving from hospital?

Maybe we should have allowed Yar Adua continue achieving from his own hospital bed too.

A man who was comatose for over 6 months suddenly is achieving from hospital bed

I bet Yakowa is still achieving Same with Suntai wherever he is

Afam4eva:
I presume you attended at least a primary school to know what "popular opinion" is. The best you can do is to counter those that i've listed then list your own and prove why they're the best.

Afam4eva:
You're been ridiculous. What does 6 months take away from almost 8 years of rule. If anything, it should be a minus for him. Show me any non ACN governor that has achieved more than him.

Eko Ile:


You are still beating around the Bush. We all know the meaning of achievements.


It shouldn't be too hard to say so and so governor is the best based on listed reasons and in the areas listed below..


1. Water

2. Roads and Transportation

3 Healthcare

4. Safety and Security

5. Food and Agriculture

6. Human and manpower development.


Anything less = Fallacy, vagueness and insincerity..

thenwhat:


How did they make you a moderator? I thought moderators were to be smart. You claimed certain Governors were the best but you couldn't come up with achievemnts to support your claim of them being the best.


I here by ask you to resign with immediate effect.

Afam4eva:
Which class in school did you call it a day? Do you know the meaning of "Popular opinion"?
