The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Abdullahi Jalo, has said that Nigerians and the party will know whether President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government had made a positive impact on the country from 2017.
Jalo said this while commenting on the recent defections from the PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“From 2017, we will know how the situation looks like, whether President Buhari has worked or not. Then, we shall start to see the drama of the political situation in the country,” he told Sunday PUNCH.
Several high-profile members of the PDP have dumped the party for the APC since the general elections, including a former Governor of the old Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo, and the party’s candidate for the Anambra-Central Senatorial District, Mrs. Uche Ekwunife.
Ekwunife is hoping to win the rerun senatorial election in senatorial district under the platform of the APC.
Jalo, who noted that politics is dynamic, however said the PDP was reviewing the defections and expects to witness more drama on the political scene in the buildup to the 2019 general elections.
He said, “There are some people we call ‘bread-and-butter politicians.’ You can also understand why (Jim) Nwobodo defected. There was a lot of confusion in Anambra (after his defection) because people were highlighting the money Dasuki shared, which you can understand as, maybe, he is running there (to APC) assuming he may not be picked up to cough out the money he collected.
“APC members are now saying even if he has joined the party, he is not welcome. He knows why, at an immaterial time, he wanted to defect. Maybe he thought the PDP would not shield him; maybe he would be shielded by the APC, being the ruling party.”
Jalo suggested that the annulment of Ekwunife’s election as senator might have led to her defection to the APC to create “political confusion in the political scenario in Anambra,” with the hope of getting the ticket.
He added, “It is not just an issue of morality but desperation and interests. The PDP is doing everything possible as an opposition party to help its members to withstand the challenges from the opposition.”

The mistakes made in the past, where by the government is being look upon by the masses as miracle worker.

A sustainable development and genuine change in all ramifications can only be achieved, when every individual realise they have a responsibility, a role play in the growth of the country.



KILL CORRUPTION, BEFORE IT KILLS THE ONLY COUNTRY WE CAN TRULY CALL HOME.

Like Fayose said a few minutes ago on Channels, APC is still learning to assume the party in charge...maybe by 2017 they would take responsibility and stop propagander.

Not decamped but a sensible person......it's not all about politics but what is relevant to us.....Tonyebarcanista comes across as a guy with a little bit of commonsense at the least....

Finally, the chickens are coming to roost. PDP can see clearly now the rain has fallen. They can now separate the seed from the chaff, those with ideologies and the mere political jobbers. Only after a true self cleansing can the party re-strategise for the task that lies in the years ahead.
