PhockPhockman. We were told that your penniss was useless on election day, as it could not thumbprint for GEJ

ManMountain:
Swerve! Bunch of crying losers

PhockPhockMan:
Yes o o, after your mother infected me with Syphilis and Gonorrhea. That woman is evil.

dearpreye:
I'm not a politician; I have mine means of livelihood. No matter who's at Aso Villa, I'll continue to meet my financial obligations to my household and myself.

Looking at the bigger picture, GMB'S victory is better for Nigeria at this point in time.

Why should I be crying? Grow up, boy!

ArodewilliamsT:
Na dat one dey funny me pass. The paid rat egift has already started denying the all the APC promises wey we hear with our own ears.
I've told them to make sure Buhari makes them all billionaires, by 2014 we'll sit and take stock. I'm an importer, the $1=1N is my greatest concern. Laughing continues...

deemdeem:

Rubbish.
The same way u were optimistic that Jonah-daft will sweep SW. Continue to deceive ursef and ur kind.

temitemi1:
Brother me too they laugh like 2moro no dey because by the time apc will bring out their true self

Mynd44:
Was there a functional APC in Imo and Rivers states before them?

fkaz:
Oga first and foremost PDP need to change their name and slogan and they will need another 15years before they can be recognise as a strong opposition party. The south east could have been a breeding ground for the new opposition party, unfortunately i doubt south east can stay long as opposition party in nigeria

nigerianvenom:
APC will be in shamble b4 2019.

PhockPhockMan:
There was fully functional APGA in Imo state and extra charged PDP in Rivers state which was offloaded to APC by Okorocha and Amaechi respectively.
Mind you , your not talking to a kid.

barcanista:
Thank you my brother. I have never been a card-carrying member of any party but I will go to my ward in Okrika to get registered with the PDP as soon as the new government assume power.

barcanista:
Absolutely! I couldn't stand APC for what they represent...

Truckpusher:
My nigga.

I love your fighting spirit ,wish I could meet you guys one day and shake your hands.


You guys are good people.

temitemi1:
Can't wait to shake hands with you guys one day!

PhockPhockMan:
Do you know what you're talking about?
Is Jonathan going to assume the leadership of PDP as a sitting president? Was Tinubu the leader of AD during his time as governor?
Whether you like it or not, Jonathan will be the rallying point for all real Progressives.
I bet you , when Nigerians realized their mistake on APC misadventures, they will cry to PDP for redemption.

owotonbinu:
I think barcanista and his fellow pdp friends are bad loosers.. pdp had a shot at power for 16years.nigerians endured them yet they squandered thier chance.. most of us supported jonathan 2011 even with his poor achievements both as governor and acting president..we gave him a chance ..we didn't pray for his failure..but he did and we made a statement by voting him out which is our constitutional right..last time i checked returning to office was not his birthright.what i ses here is most of praying for the failure of GMB and crew..forgetting that his failure wld b Nigeria's failure too. Give the new party a chance before bringing your prophecy of doom..and as for pdp coming back in 2019.. you are only been delusional..it has no charismatic leader that can revive it..the only thing it had going all this while was d central power which it has lost to the apc.. barcanista and co u can go and take over the leadership of pdp..but i tell u pdp is defeated and would never be the same..

Firefire:
Me too dey laugh ooooo


What I know is, he who laugh LAST?...

POST 2015 PDP
The Presidential election has come and gone. Winner and losers emerged. Opposition APC gaining power, and the ruling PDP losing power after being in the saddle for 16 years(but 5 years in practical terms). Nobody love to lose but in defeat we have to project the future and hope for the best as 2019 is just by the corner. The "New" PDP led by Jonathan should understand that election is all about popular opinion, and it is an established fact that popular opinion isn't necessarily the best. We have four years to prove that to the electorates, I believe we would.

Opposition parties in Africa are quite infamous for squandering opportunities and not living to expectation when voted into power. This is no different from the Nigeria situation. The PDP need to come together, allow those that want to defect to the ruling party-elect to do so unhindered, keep the young people in the party together, rebrand the party by taking advantage of Jonathan's Global popularity as a Democratic Icon(whoever disagrees is on his/her own), maintain social media presence and be ready to take back power from the APC in 2019.

IMPENDING CHANGE OF FORTUNE
I am very optimistic that power will change hand in 2019 as the ruling government-elect is nothing but conspiracy by some group of undemocratic political oligarchs that are bent on wrestling power from the outgoing incumbent to further their selfish political and self-economic interests using General Muhammadu Buhari as a front and media propaganda as weapon. When the joy of electoral victory is over and the business of governance set in from May 29, the real intention of the Buhari backers will begin to emerge though the manifestation may take some months or up to a year. The battle to control the machinery of the party(APC) and the government among the political oligarchs will emerge on one hand. On another hand there will be the inevitable confrontation between overbearing party leaders and elected/appointed officials. The in-fighting will directly or indirectly have effect on the government performance because there will be lots of sabotage from government officials(moles) that are loyal to the kingmakers within the party. All these coupled with unrealistic proposed social policies of Buhari's incoming government, the masses expectations are bound to erode and discontent brew as a result.

THE GOVERNMENT-ELECT OF APC
The APC took advantage of public discontent with some of the policies of Jonathan's government to launch propaganda and successfully won public sympathy. The party was NEVER founded on any ideology but on the platform of grabbing power from the incumbent President Jonathan and PDP, hiding under the slogan of change. Similar scenario played out in Tunisia and Egypt. Just like it ended for the "now opposition" in both countries, so it will be for the incoming ruling party APC, because no change can come through undemocratic, unpatriotic and non-ideological element as embodied in the APC. Propaganda can go thus far but can never reach a permanent destination. I hope the good people of Nigeria are ready to face what they signed up for.

TWO PRECEDENTS IN AFRICA
Egypt: In 2011 the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood took advantage of the discontent in Egypt to mobilise Egyptians in a popular uprising. The people of Egypt were determined to remove every Mubarak's element from power. Muhammed Morsi who was/is the leader of opposition Freedom and Justice Party(Muslim Brotherhood) promised better lives for Egyptians. in his own words, "I hope the people will choose me, an Islamist candidate from the Freedom & Justice party and Muslim Brotherhood, and God willing the system will move towards stability and development.". He was elected President by popular votes (51.73%) in June 2012. However exactly one year after ie June 2013, the same Egyptians that brought him to power took to the street to call for his ouster. Hope of a change under Morsi eluded, they couldn't wait for the end of the term. The Army led by Abdel Fattah Sisi struck amid wild jubilation. Sisi-mania was birthed. The people went further to call on Sisi to seek election in 2014, he was elected and the people are happy. Note, Sisi has always been an ally of exPresident Hosni Mubarak.

Tunisia: Like Egypt, Tunisians rose to popular uprising calling for the ouster of exPresident Ben Ali in 2011. The opposition led by Mohamed Marzouki took advantage to clinch power riding on public sentiment. He was later elected President in 2011. Three years later he was kicked out by the same people. Mr Ali Beji Essebsi, a longtime ally of exPresident Ben Ali was elected President in December 2013.

CONCLUSION
I welcome APC and look forward to see them assume power come May 29. They should be assured that some of us will stick to the PDP and take advantage of its national spread. We shall define the party and embrace our role as the new opposition. By the grace of God, Nigerians will in their numbers bring us back to power in 2019. I appeal to young people and supporters of the PDP to stick with the party. Let us rebuild. PDP Shall Lead Again...



Long Live "New" PDP
God Bless Nigeria

Bayswater:
That is the spirit. The first task is to shore up support in our base in the southwest and north. Gone are the days of cockiness and overconfidence. The first task in my area of concern is the Lagos gubernatorial and Ekiti house of assembly elections, we need to make sure we do a 26 - 0 (26 assembly seats), the evil APC forces are planning very hard to chase Gov. Fayose out of office through undemocratic means, they have to be resisted.

barcanista:
Absolutely! I couldn't stand APC for what they represent...

genearts:
You have spoken like a child of God

ozoigbondu:
Noooo we where promised N5000 monthly and it must be delivered on june 29 if i don't recieve my N5000 alert on my phone......make i no talk.Buhari should make one naira to one dollar quick quick he promised

Pls when will we start submiting our account number and phone number for the monthly 5k

Bizibi:
stand for what you believe,this will be a new era for PDP ,many will migrate but the loyal ones will move forward.....

calebo101:
Barcanista, i think the first step towards re-branding PDP is a change of name. Recall that all the vultures that gave PDP a bad name are now dining with APC hence i feel there has to be a change of name first.

Social media orientation and mass media should follow suit too. It will be essential for the new PDP to have a media arm like APC does have Sahara Reporters, Premium times, et al.

The old people should give way to young blood, they should act in advisories role rather than competitive. Their experience is needed.

The new PDP should solidify its base in the South South and South East whilst maintaining it's minor grip in the South West and the North with strategic thrust at regaining its ground there. The middle belt should be the main focus of the New PDP.

I have no single doubt in my mind that the APC will collapse like a pack of cards soon because firstly they have no experience of leadership thrust upon them.

Secondly in the quest for grabbing power they made so many promises which are unrealistic hence will lose the trust of the people.

Thirdly Jonathan is leaving with a bang and i for one know a lot of people that already regret voting against him because to them the man was the best but surrounded by sycophants.

Fourthly, the APC was not formed to impact change but rather it's a gathering of disgruntled elements who rode on the altar of propaganda.

Fifthly, the merger of the South West and North is bound to crumble soon because there are bound to be treacherous characters among them and lastly APC will never outperform Jonathan's tenure, i know why.

The new PDP should take these 4 years as a sabbatical, work underground, put its house in order because the nature of Nigerians will be that they require a change soon and then the new PDP should be ready to take back its place.
