Bizibi:

flowjoe:
Barcanista u need to chill with the way u always hit 'share'. Its too much, just get the main points n share not everything & not everyone wants to be involved in politics. Thanks

ChikezieU:
truth is i even want to join a political party and its PDP of all party. People think PDP is now a mockery image but time shall tell. Am joining them when i get in touch with them.

Bizibi:
you can join them now,the mockery of PDP now will change the party ideology and lead it to a a right path and direction,when mistakes are made at the top and you drop down to zero,corrections will be made and gradually come up to achieve something,what I want is fr every PDP gov to deliver to its people and development will make people to stop looking at the center,when things are right we shall come up once again

ChikezieU:
strong but true words. Am still searching for their ward chiarman in my local. PDP trully remains a power for the poeple The owners of Nigeria by virtue may have disagreed with them and supported the opposition but they r nt seeing were the real power is going; the people, which is being more enlightend. Its only a matter of time before they disagree with each other starting with the so called Oil mafians

aresa:
#Change won so keep quiet and deal with it.

yea,there are so many things that go on behind the scenes, as long as the ex generals are alive then things might just be the same in the federal level,if they don't decamp then the new ruling party will have to be smart not to fall in their trap,I pray the generals die one by one,they are the real cause of Nigeria's problem, I know we will one day get there but some stumbling blocks got to go,what the new opposition party need is development, once they can effectively use that as part of their game then things will turn around positively

Whynotthetruth:
My name isn't in this register but I will always give my support to this team...My loyalty is assured 1000%...Just wish the headquarters at the national level will organize a sound and quality media group...Why other footsoldiers will back up from every other place of abode...###Journey just begun ###merry easter friends and partners...

barcanista:
sorry bros and forgive me for missing out your moniker... I so agree with your pints! I hope the National look into some of these suggestions.

temitemi1:
I'm even more committed to the cause of this our great party! United we stand!!

Sunnybobo3:
Leave PDP affairs to PDP and concentrate on the "change" which you asked for and got.

PDP sure needs the newly acquired charisma of GEJ going forward.

Appliedmaths:
Long live the PDP. A new generation of the PDP shall emerge, loyalty is our new watchword. I WILL NOT DEFECT.

Bayswater:
You have spoken well, my brother. Some of us need to move from supporting a candidate to supporting the new party. I will go ^back to my ward in oluyole local government and get registered. I so much believe in a re-energised and refined PDP. We will know the faces of the new opposition within 6 months into the new administration. The moles and disloyal ones amongst us needs to be chased out.

With GEJ setting a democratic standard the APC can never match, I see the Reformed PDP bouncing back in 2019, we need to hold each other's hands to achieve this.

The tortuous 4-year journey starts now.

ALL IZZ WELL

Well written my Bros. Making non feasible promises is one thing that is going to bite them on the butt. I was not PDP member but I decided to pick a card when Jega succeeded. I will do just that!

@Barcanista, I dey hail and may God bless you for the uncommon love for our country Nigeria. I strongly want to align with the idea of rebranding and reform in the new party with an eye on the youth as its nucleus. APC for sure will not perform based on the calibre of people that are currently the power brokers. We must be ready to go the extra and ensure a vibrant and rejuvenating PDP.
Meanwhile, the PDP must ensure we keep all the SOUTH SOUTH STATES and win Rivers and Edo. Reason is having the SOUTH SOUTH states is enough to help with the finance to mobilize support for a new PDP across the nation. I am coming to the country too in few weeks to register in my ward in Oron

Ozin:
@Barcanista, I will also suggest we form a PDP online pressure group that will give us the needed voice to create some of these changes in the new PDP. I will suggest we meet every now and then and have key official as conduit to the mainstream PDP

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

barcanista:
Tomakint you are on point. The incoming administration is backed by consortium of godfathers of different stock.The same people that played active roles pre-2013 are the same people back in power. We have their antecedents and we shall follow every activity of all of them and the government closely. We wish them well even though we aren't expecting much. We shall be responsible opposition that Nigerians will align with as events progress.
