I am usually taken aback whenever officers of the present APC administration release statements and interviews to sermonise Nigerians on how PDP administration has destroyed Nigeria for 16years and how they are working on fixing the mess created by PDP.

It is non-contestable that between May 29, 1999 and May 29, 2015, "PDP"(in quote) occupied the seat of power in Abuja and control majority states in the federation. However, we have to get our fact right with respect to "who destroyed Nigeria between 99 and 2015". I believe we should do a holistic analysis on this subject.

Presidents and Vice Between 1999-2015
Nigeria had three presidents between May 29, 1999 and May 29, 2015. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Late Mallam Umaru Yar'adua and Dr Goodluck Jonathan. Of the three, Obasanjo spent eight years in office(1999-2007), Yar'adua three years (May 2007-May 2010) and Dr Jonathan five years (May 2010-May 2015). Obasanjo with highest number of time spent(Eight years) denounced PDP to become APC and Buhari's navigator to office. Similarly, of the three vice presidents between the period, Atiku Abubakar spent the most number of years in office (Eight, 1999-2007). He not only moved to AC/APC while in office in 2006, he also aspired to rule Nigeria on APC platform in 2014 and is a member of APC's Board of Trustees.

Speakers of House of Representative Between 1999-2015
Between 1999 and 2015 Nigeria had six Speakers of Federal House of Representative. There are Salisu Buhari (June -July 1999), Ghali Na'aba(July 1999-June 2003), Aminu Bello Mansari (June 2003-June 2007), Madam Patricia Etteh (June 2007-November 2007), Dimeji Bankole (Nov 2007-June 2011) and Waziri Tambawal(June 2011-June 2015). Of all Six former Speakers, FOUR are members of APC (Na'aba, Mansari, Etteh and Tambawal) with a combined period of TWELVE YEARS in office out of the sixteen years. Mansari and Tambawal are APC Governors of Katsina and Sokoto states respectively.


Prominent Government Officials:
Nasir Elrufai was DG Bureau for Public Enterprise and Secretary of National Council on Privatisation between 1999 and 2003. He later became minister of FCT between 2003 and 2007. As DG BPE and Secretary of NCP, he supervised the privatisation of NEPA, NITEL etc..ALL were emershed in controversy. By virtue of his office, Atiku Abubakar was the Chairman of NCP between 1999 and 2007. Both men supervised the privatisation of public companies for the period. They are APC members.

Danjuma Goje, was the minister of state for power between 1999 and 2003. Rabiu Kwankwaso was minister of Defence between 2003 and 2007. Both are members of APC BoT and Senators. Samuel Orthom served as minister of state, trade and investment between 2011 and 2015. Nasir Elrufai was minister of FCT between 2003 and 2007. They are now Governors of Benue and Kaduna states respectively. Should we wash all these away?

State Administrations Between 1999-2015:
Between 1999 and 2015, Gombe has had three Governors, Abubakar Hashidu (4years), Danjuma Goje (8years) and Ibrahim Dankwambo(4years). Both Hashidu and Goje are members of APC. That is a combined 12years.

In Kwara state, all governors since 1999 are APC members save late Lawal who ruled under APP.

In Anambra state, ex-Govs Mbadiniju (4years), Nwabuweze Chris Ngige (3years), and Peter Obi(8years) were Governors. Mbadinuju and Ngige are APC members. That is a combined 7years between 1999-2014. PDP Obi held sway for 8 years.

Similarly, in Benue state George Akume was held sway from 1999-2007(and Senator 2007 till date). Is APC chieftain.

All Governors of Osun state between 1999 till date are APC members. Also in Ekiti state, of the 16 years, PDP's Fayose only had four. Otunba Niyi Adebayo(4years), Segun Oni (3 years) and Fayemi (4years) are BoT members of APC.

In Abia state, Uzo Kalu that held sway between 1999 to 2007 is a Chief of APC. APC Govs has been in power in Lagos state all through the period.

In Zamfara state, APC Govs held sway for TWELVE out of the 16years. In Rivers state APC Chieftain Rotimi Amaechi was not only Governor for eight years(of the 16years), he also served as Speaker for the other part of 8years. Plateau state Governor Simon lalong was a Speaker during the Dariye administration. The list is endless.

APC Claim Is Illogical
We can see that between 1999 and May 2015 individuals occupied various political offices, the actions(and inactions) of these office-holders contributed to the decline of the Nigeria and her economy. Majority of these people were at one time or the other indicted for corrupt practices and fraud while in office. Most of these people are members of APC and some appointed into offices. ALL of them combined are responsible for the sorry state of things in Nigeria. We can't forget so soon that it was Saraki and Amaechi(as NGF Chairpersons) that moved for the Sharing and depletion of the Excess Crude Account, which GEJ bowed to between 2007 and 2012. In fact, theyalso pushed for the sharing of One Billion Dollars in Soveriegn Wealth Fund but was resisted by Jonathan. Today, Saraki is not just APC Senator but also the Senate President, while Amaechi is a minister-designate. Can we forget so soon that Audu Ogbeh, a minister-designate and APC Senator Barnabas Germade were PDP National Chairmen between these period. The claim by APC defies logic in every sense.

Finally, the continuous claim by the Buhari administration that "PDP destroyed Nigeria" for sixteen years only shows that the present administration is yet to understand the problem of Nigeria. Worse still, it is an indictment on all those those that held one offices or the other since 1999 especially at federal level. With Buhari having some of these people in his government and other positions of leadership, shows the insincerity of the government and ruling APC. I will advice that Buhari save Nigerians these excuses and focus on the job he was elected to do. PDP is not the name of any official, APC Chieftains have been part of the system.



May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria

You see...whoever is making such statement is myopic and suffering from diarrhoea of the mouth.


PDP members are fully emptied into APC, if there is 85 percent concentration of a substance, the scientist can confirm that the metabolism would have acclimatized into new organic substance.

Scientific proof:

The concentration of a solution is often expressed as percent concentration by mass or percent by volume of solute in solution. Percent by mass is calculated from the mass of solute in a given mass of solution.

Percent by mass = mass of solute / mass of solution X 100

APC = APC (15%) / PDP (85%) Resulting in higher concentration of PDP.

APC, party of professional liars and career propagandist. - Lie Mohammed.

acrobatics.

PDP was the ruling party for the past 16years.
you have no justification not to accept that your actions and inactions is responsible for putting us in this quagmire

150% true!!!!!!

This Barcanista guy keeps making sense, but the senseless keep thinking he is a paid wailer...Anyway, haters gonna hate.


Barcanista, my vote goes out to u...come 2019 presidential election..

Hmm

For 16 Years, The PDP blamed the 'rot' of military rule For their inability to perform, yet they want us to forget their misrule in just 5 months ~ Keyamo

APC not giving excuse for failure by reminding Nigerians of the dark years of PDP. It's only indicating the progress we're making by comparative analysis ~ Keyamo

They did it under the umbrella of PDP.
You don't need all this long story to prove this.

Simple.

Bad citizens in Nigeria could be law abiding in England.

People who drive recklessly in Nigeria don't do so in the USA.

The operating environment matters. MTN has also learnt the hard way. Don't do in Nigeria what you won't do in Britain.

Leadership is everything.

Your article reeks of proven fact, in addition, PDP is made up of humans not animals, these humans are the ones chanting change mantra.
I rest my case.

this person na olodo o. chai.

OK slowpoke. let me ask you in a simpler way, which party was in power during the past 16 years when Nigeria was misruled

Dark days that was perpetrated by who please?

Barcanista, u need a break before you shoot yourself in the foot again. You already caught yourself in the foolishness of your apt stupidity with many illogical and 'karmanic' analysis.

Now, if u will upgrade to a new version of brain on play store, then you will understand that you have said nothing apart from 'current affairs' while still accepting the fact that PDP's years of misrule destroyed Nigeria.

Dude, these are the questions for u:

1. Which party has been ruling since 16yrs?

2. What is the responsibility of the president?

3. Who is to blame?


Of course, I expected u to write one of your unreasonable and vaccumed-filled epistles just to answer three questions that should take more than 10 words.

You are dunce: I wonder why your followers haven't haven't figured that out!

Of course, I knw...jes gotta say I didn't.

Sometimes I do wonder how obj feels when buhari say in his presence that PDP ruined Nigeria.

You forgot to mention ur fellow "patriotic" citizens of Nigeria.

You that is a fast poke, who will GEJ blame should he defect to Labour party? Or who should Obj blame for Leadership failure between 1999 and 2007? PDP?

Sleep with this...

Most of these people are members of APC and some appointed into offices. ALL of them combined are responsible for the state of affairs in Nigeria.

Tallesty1:

The same Obj that said in 2001 or there about that "the problem with Nigeria is leadership failure"...

He was the president as at then!

PDP SHAMELESS PARTY.

PDP was a gang of thieves but to say they destroyed Nigeria is the sort of brain dead inanity that can only be uttered by someone too young to remember or too intellectually incurious to know the state of Nigeria in 1999.

“President Buhari will remain true to the virtues of honesty, integrity, sincerity, incorruptibility and plain- speaking which endeared him to Nigerians and made them prefer his leadership to that of a lying and deceptive PDP administration.

“President Buhari will not in the name of “marketing” or “attracting” investors, follow in the footsteps of the ousted PDP Administration and its discredited officials who shamelessly lied to Nigerians

Buhary is fast becoming unpopular.

insanity is when you refuse to accept blame for your actions

Obasanjo 1999-2007= 8 years (PDP)

Yar adua 2007-2010 = 3 years (PDP)

Goodluck Jonathan 2010-2015 = 5 years (PDP)



Those who destroyed Nigeria are politicians in PDP and APC- Jmoore

They accuse PDP of destroying Nigeria when the man who led the "supposed destruction" is busy nominating ministers for Buhari.

phew. bro, I hope you do better than this at work or school.

first you mentioned the last 16 years right? so which party was in power.

now that most of the actors have left for other parties doesn't mean a thing.

the answer would still be PDP even if PDP had already become a defunct party by the time the question is being asked.

the next logical question would now be:
WHO were those in PDP within that period.

are you trying to say that since they are all in APC now so APC misruled Nigeria for the past 16yrs when the party was just formed last year or thereabout

your logic man

Pastor Barcanista, preach on

maybe you should also say that the APC won the presidential elections in 1993 since most of the actors in the defunct SDP are now in APC.
