For the first time in the history of Nigeria, it feels real good to have The People's Democratic Party play the oppostion!

APC might not be "doing great" as expected, but we all know that growth and change comes gradually.... If the PDP had kept their twitter buzzing during their years in power as they have for the past 12 months, reached out to the citizens at the local level, seen what they are condeming now etc, they would have had alot more legitmacy than they presently have or may not have even lost the presidential seat in the past elections.

But as it were, it feels good to see Nigerians taste the true meaning of democracy in this our quasi-federal state. The lesson the APC leaders should learn and understand is that Nigerians now know that their votes count and as the PDP was voted out after just a tenure of Goodluck Jonathan they can also be voted out of office just within their first tenure after about a 16 year wait.

If the affairs of the country does not change course for the better in a very short time and make the ordinary man on the Nigerian street feel the effects of their positve efforts, then the next two years will see the PDP gather more popularity again, but honestly, another oppostion party would do (on a more democratic note).

Fellow Nigerians, welcome to our new democratic setting!

is dt not wot has been happening?

Hate PDP or love them. PDP is the best party in Nigeria. They created an environment for democracy to take place. If not 4 PDP, we won't be celebrating today.

If APC was in power, am not sure they will create a system where an opposition will be allowed to thrive. See wat they are doing to the opposition in just one year. And dat same PDP allowed them thrived and even allowed dem won. How many African country has this happen.

Well posterity will be the judge for both parties. It's just sad that people don't see things critically. If democracy dies today, mayb killed by APC, u will suffer for it.

it really doesnt feel good knowing the man who always boast in the media that PDP will rule for 50years is now the current minister of agriculture....smh

Strongest political party in Africa is now struggling to be the strongest in opposition party!


Life sha!

Zombies mentality

You don't vote a government out because you want them to be on their toes, now you've voted the dullest government ever


You could have used other powers to make pdp sit up but the African man is lazy and prefers to suffer and smile like you want to do until 2019 now

But if its petty thief you will lynch

KINGwax007:
is dt not wot has been happening?

no, pdp ppl keep talking about selective probe (who told them to lose election to person that will probe them) and tribalism (when person gada only him tribes ppl to loot (I dunno if dasuki look Ibo or Niger delta o) why won't only them get probed. next time you share the looting or share with the ppl as dividends of democracy or stomach infrastructure so you will not lose not at last minute sharing billions when ppl hate you already
