The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has said only Nigerians are in the position to say why the party was rejected at the poll during the last general elections.

It said the rejection of the party was still a surprise despite the achievements it claimed the party recorded in the last 16 years, during which it was in control of the Federal Government.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated this at a press briefing in Abuja on Monday.

He was speaking on the 17th anniversary of the formation of the former ruling party.

Metuh said his party did well by not only promoting the spirit of democracy in the 16 years, but by also fighting corruption and promoting the image of the nation.

But when asked whether with such achievements, he was astonished that majority of Nigerians still rejected the party during the last general elections, he said only Nigerians could provide answer to the question.

He said, “Only the electorate can say why we were rejected. We must have made our mistakes and some of the issues that affected the election had to do with the people.

“We believe that we did our best for the Nigerian people and we got the largest number of people from the diaspora to start business here.

“In those 16 years, we did our best. We created a system where merits were recognised.

“We created a lot of super rich Nigerians like Dangote, Oando and other companies. Nigerian companies now compete with foreign companies in the oil and gas sector.”

He said it would be wrong to say that the party created corruption, adding that because of its believe that corruption should be stamped out of the country, the party, through the Presidents it had produced, fought the menace with vigour.

He said this was the reason why anti-corruption agencies like the Economic and Financial Crime Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission were created.

He said, “Was corruption part of our achievements, no. In fact, anti-corruption was part of our achievements because we formed and created EFCC and the ICPC.

“These agencies were created with strict establishing and operation laws to ensure effectiveness and immunity from executive interferences.”

He added that down the years, SERVICOM desks were opened in ministries and agencies to further ensure ethical standards in government businesses.

Metuh added that as a result of this deliberate policies, human right and business friendly environment were created and it saw to the massive return of Nigerians in the Diaspora and the influx of direct foreign investments into the country.

If this Olisa Metuh doesn't know y PDP was rejected, even 1000pages won't b enough for me to put down why dey were rejected n dejected. Lemme summarize it a little: In 16yrs of governance, no good healthcare, no good roads, poor electricity, no good educational system, corruption at its peak, high rate of unemployment just to mention a few... APC came at d right time wen Nigerians needed CHANGE n confused, deceived Nigerians wiv their preaching. Now, not up to 100days in office, Nigerians have started complaining and if APC fails to live up to its promises, trust Nigerians, they will also b rejected n thrown out in 4yrs time

In Tu Face's voice "Nobody holy pass"

Lmao, this guy can't be serious!!!

Not knowing why u were rejected is part of the reasons we don't regret rejecting you, can u just imagine! If they think they did a good job after 16years, then their standards must be really low.

Lol...funniest shitt ever. Still clueless after being booted out.

No be their fault sha, na buharis recent goof on his seeming tribalistic apointments that is giving them mouth to talk.

...Because most believed in APC scam change, But unfortunately, They've been shortchanged. It's now a season of change of promise instead of it's fulfilment.

"We didn't make any hundred days promise" - APC (Lie Mohammed)

"Jonathan and PDP are the reasons why we can't fulfil our promises" - APC

Exactly

Yes

GOD will punish u (pdp) fellows to ur bone marrow. Ur achievement my foot.

Don't worry Metuh nigerians made an emotional choice laced with anger propelled by APC lies and propaganda. Anyway, just under 100days the disaster in emotional choice is being evident with the serial denial and reversal of promises. May God help us and PDP must reform to get back.

Funny people. But they've admitted on many different occasions to their failure nah.

PDP brought more suffering, pains and sorrows in sixteen years despite earning what could reasonably start a new country from scratch.

1. Electricity - F9
2. Infrastructure - D7
3. Health - F9
4. Security - F9
5. Looting, Stealing & Corruption - A1
6. International Image - F9

They failed woefully in all parameters by which good governance is judged. As such, Nigeria separated them (goats) from our yams (the treasury).

May such a party never ever be able to find its way to the center again.

I honestly believe Olisah Metuh didn't say all dis with a conscious state of mind...

Nigerians have rejected you, PDP, and rejected you shall remain

Brb

Oga this why u were rejected

this party seems to be going down faster than expected. you are still yet to understand why you were sent packing, no worry after 60years of different parties, you go understand for your grave.
