Test Your Popularity Now – PDP Challenges APC…Hails PDP’s Sweeping Victory in Delta LG Polls

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenges the All Progressives
Congress (APC) to immediately test its popularity among Nigerians by
conducting free, fair and credible local council elections in states
under its control.

We all know that the APC is mortally afraid of going into any election,
particularly at the grassroots, as Nigerians across board are bitter
with them for their deceit and the wrecking of our once robust economy.

Nigerians are also at pains over the poor welfare direction of the
ruling party which has resulted in the penetrating hardship now being
suffered under the APC controlled Federal Government misrule.

The APC is petrified because Nigerians have renewed their interest in
the PDP as the only genuine people-oriented party.

This new thinking among Nigerians has been clearly demonstrated with
PDP’s sweeping victory in Osun senatorial bye election as well as the
recent local council polls in Ekiti and Delta states.

Today, the APC knows it cannot go back to the same electorate it scammed
in 2015 with lies and empty promises; promises of bogus jobs, monthly
stipends, free meals, free houses, reduction of fuel price, bringing the
dollar to the same value with the naira and other phantom promises.

The APC knows it cannot face the more than 8 million Nigerians it has
rendered jobless with its reckless policies. They know that judgment
awaits them from thousands of workers who were unjustly sacked in the
states where APC governors rule, particularly Kogi and Kaduna.

The APC cannot also return to the states where countless helpless
families’ breadwinners painfully paid the supreme price due to untold
hardship under their misrule.

The party also knows it cannot return to the families of those
slaughtered in Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Borno and other parts of the
country by marauders encouraged and emboldened by the indifference of
the Federal Government and the unguarded comments from unpatriotic
Presidential aides.

That is why instead of facing the people, APC governors, who are now
scared stiff of the looming disgrace awaiting them, are busy running to
Abuja for help, forgetting that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led
Presidency will also face an inevitable crushing defeat in 2019.

The fact is that Nigerians now know the difference between the
anti-people, deceitful and inept APC and the democratic,
development-driven PDP which, in its 16 years in power, led the nation
to economic boom, cleared huge foreign debts, repositioned the banking
sector, championed the telecoms revolution we all now enjoy, revamped
the railways, built new universities, reformed the ports, facilitated
unprecedented growth in small and medium enterprises and placed the
nation as major global investment destination.

The landslide victories of the PDP in the recent elections are therefore
incontrovertible response by the people not only to the achievements of
our government in the states but also to the ideological disposition of
the PDP as one genuine democratic platform where all Nigerians are free
to socially express, politically aspire and economically flourish.

Our advice to the APC now is that they should stop deluding themselves
with the electoral happenstance they earned by lies and propaganda in
2015 as Nigerians have now reconnected with their original political
platform, the PDP, to move the nation forward come 2019.
