Olisa Metuh, national publicity secretary of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who was released
from Kuje prison on bail Thursday, says his party
will regain power in 2019.
“The party has since overcome the initial
trauma that accompanied the electoral setback of
the 2015 general election, and is now poised to
regain power at the centre in 2019,” he said on
Friday.
Metuh said that the recent variance of voices from
its members was as a result of the party’s
foundation of liberal democracy, which he described
as a mark of strength, adding that the party has
adequate internal mechanisms to resolve all issues
within its fold.
According to Richard Ihediwa, Metuh’s aide, “the
view of the PDP spokesman was contained in his
opening remark at a meeting of the party’s
publicity directorate with some
visiting parliamentarians from the United Kingdom,
led by Mark Field, member of parliament and
chairman of International Office of
the Conservative Party, and Colin Bloom, director
of outreach-BCP in Abuja on Friday.”
He told the visitors that the PDP faced serious
challenges soon after it lost in the elections,
culminating in the resignation of its
national chairman, a development that created
some challenges within the party, but assured them
that every issue would be resolved by the party
leadership by next week.
In his remarks, Field advised the party to ensure
that it did not trash its brand in the face of
challenges. He observed that while it was common
for some party members to demand the removal of
leaders after electoral defeat, care must be taken
not to jeopardise institutional memory of the
party.
“Never trash your brand no matter whatever the
government of the day is saying about you”, he
admonished the PDP.
The interaction was attended by PDP publicity
staff, social media operatives of the party and
officials of the International Republican Institute
(IRI), who facilitated the visit.
Metuh is facing a seven-count charge of money
laundering brought against him by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Delusion!

God forbid bad thing. Tufiakwa!

When your medula oblongata has been tampered with in Kuje Prison, this incorrigible talk is the end result

I expect the Metuh's family to take him to the hospital for mental check up

Only in your dreams Mr Metuh. PDP is as good as dead.

Just as you ate your words on paper in EFCC,You'll most definitely eat your words come 2019..PDP is a stench that Nigerians are beginning to stay away from..with the Billions of dollars that was looted under the supervision of PDP for 16 years,I doubt if anybody with common sense would wanna associate with PDP(not saying APC are saints tho,their own time of exposure will come)..but for now, PDP is a confirmed thieving party, barawo and ole jati jati...- "The ineffectual Buffoon"..

Sir where do u think u will b by then ??
