The 16 Years Of Failure
The People's Democratic Party did not just loss the 2015 Presidential Election out of the blue. For the last 16 years in has been in power, the Nigerian masses have had to endure so much from poverty, unemployment, deaths, hunger, underdevelopment, to impunity, arrogance of those in the corridors of power, massive looting, flouting of the law by those in and around the PDP. The infamous slogan of the PDP "share the money" did not drop from the tin-air.

We also saw how contracts were inflated and kickbacks so high that projects were abandoned and re-awarded without anyone held responsible for the looted funds. It got so bad that under the PDP, if you are bidding for any contract and you did consider what will be paid to those signing your contract, you will be consider a not being interested in the bid.

With the last 6yrs of Jonathan not having any path of redemption in sight and stealing not even considered corruption, Nigerians had no other choice but to send PDP out of Aso Rock.

Unattended Problems In The PDP
As the few left in the PDP try to quickly return to power, the question on everyone's lips is: Have the PDP returned back to the drawing board as Nigerians demanded and review how they wasted 16yrs and looted us dark? What have PDP done about the real problems that got them kicked out?

From the failed leadership, looting, arrogance, parallel factions, multiple candidates, stolen mandates, broken promises, the I-Don't-Give-A-Dam attitude, etc. These issues will not be swept under the carpet nor be treated as if it does not matter. PDP can't be voted back to power carrying the very same garbage that drowned them in failure. Nigerians will not embrace the PDP when it is still plagued with acute affinity for corruption.

Retaining Failed Team Leaders
As a political institution, the PDP cannot retain the same team of failures and expect to be taking seriously. Retaining the very same team that sank the largest political party in Africa and whose only strategy in a Presidential Election is insulting and attacking their opponent means the PDP have not even started the process of looking itself in the mirror. The very first action of the PDP apart from taking responsibilities of their 16yrs of failures will including either retraining its failed team on better ways of doing things OR flush them out and bring in a set of new handlers who will handdle things better.

Lame Opposition Strategy
All through the 2015 General Election, the PDP attacked, bad-mouthed, lied, misinformed, twisted the facts, fabricated lies, misled and mocked their opponents and these failed miserably. Now if the PDP believe that continuing with those failed strategies will return them to power, then they are in a deeper problem than we thought.

If the PDP want to be taking seriously and be considered for any other political relevance in Nigeria, they must do the following:
1. Accept responsibility for the 16yrs of failure without reservation.
2. Tender an unreserved apology for the harm and wrong the inflicted on Nigerians.
3. They must return what was looted.
4. The party must re-brand itself as a decent political organization and abandon their evil ways of doing politics.
5. Sack the failures like Metu and shun touts like FFK from being a mouthpiece of the party.
6. Elect a new sets of Nigerians to do things better.

Nigerians have continually given PDP free advice in hope for a credible opposition which will be good for our polity. We hope they take it. But should PDP continually wallow in its current carnage and nuisance, it will sink to extinction in no distant time.

All you APC followers should continue rejoicing on PDP's downfall, not putting your house in order!

Nothing lasts forever!

Why can't we rejoice. Have you forgotten those that said the following:

- APC merger will not work.
- They can not register their name. We will have PDP agents claim the name "APC".
- The leaders will not work together.
- Amaechi and others will not decamp because they have nowhere to run to.
- There is no vacancy in Aso Rock.
- Atiku will buy all the delegates with his dollars at the convention.
- APC will not last a year.

Today who is going into extinction is not the very same boostful PDP?

This is not a time for PDP and Metu to be running their mouth. It is a time to reflect on the tragedy of the last 16 years of failure. PDP can either re-brand or go into extinction.

I'm in support of 5 and 6

walahi, some people no get work...


APC, Party of Professional Liars and Career Propagandist.

The Facts are
1. PDP rule Nigeria for 16 years
2. Majority of PDP members are now APC member
3. Most of these PDP turned APC members were maltreated by PDP as a party e.g. Atiku, Tambuwal, Ameachi, Ngige, etc
4. When Obasanjo turn a new leave (which might be connected to his new theological knowledge) and start telling the truth he was not spared to the extent that he was pushed tore his PDP membership card to pre-empty his expulsion from the Party which came less than two hours after he tore the card.
5. That PDP and her loyal members strive on impunity which they extend beyond their party to Nigerian Governor Forum, State House of Assembly (Rivers, Ekiti, etc), even Judiciary (Rivers State vs FG), etc
6. That PDP led FG under Obasanjo pays up our long standing debt, improves our reserves and start anti-graft agencies giving priority to farming and vocational jobs neglecting formal education and institutions.
7. That PDP led FG under Yar'dua initiate sincere efforts to revive formal education sector, power and electoral reform. He also successfully resolved the escalated militancy in Niger Delta under Obasanjo.
8. That the PDP led FG under Jonathan gave Nigerians considerable freedom of expression, improve agricultural product through subsidizing fertilizers, privatization of power (light), etc. Unfortunately, the government witness high increase in stealing of public fund from millions of Naira to billions of Dollars, last longing strikes across all educational sector and labour unions, etc

The only problem I observed with PDP and their supporters is love deceiving themselves living in the denial of raw facts starring at them. Instead of them to retraced their steps and find where they had failed that make majority of Nigeria to vote them out, all they are ranting about is to defending their misrule. My concern is that if anything happens to PDP we might be gearing towards a one party system, Tonyebarcanista their Nairaland leader should stop this is illogical reason and tell his people the bitter truth so that PDP will be revive and that by 2019 we will have a viable opposition parties so that in any Legislative House (Senate, HoR & SHAs) there wouldn't be any single party that will have more than 43% of the total number in the house and the slogan like APC own the Senate, Rivers is a PDP state, Lagos is a APC state will be a forgotten word in our Political history so that even if a party is ruling for years they will have it at the back of their mind the state belongs not to them the Party but Nigerians who resided in the state.

You are expecting the good governance you couldn't provide?

I thought I had seen it all.

APC was ready for change, now they got it. But the sad news is, they never mean the change that will better the masses rather than emptying state purse. Barely 6months of APC, they can't pay salary.
