‘Nigerians will beg PDP to return in 2019’
Cairo Ojougboh, vice-chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the south-south, has derided the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over its inability to resolve the crisis tearing it apart.
Ojougboh said the APC has shown lack of coordination and ideology in handling the national assembly crisis, saying Nigerians will beg the PDP to come back in 2019.
He was speaking at the secretariat of the PDP in Port Harcourt, capital of Rivers state on Monday.
Ojougboh said a committee led by Ahmed Makarfi, former governor of Kaduna state, had visited the PDP secretariat in the south-south to receive memorandum on how the party could emerge victorious in the 2019 general election.
He warned that his party will not tolerate any attempt to use the election tribunals against its interest.
“Rivers and Akwa Ibom states tribunals are sitting in Abuja. No amount of intimidation will make the PDP lose the elections it won freely and fairly in those states. Any move to rig us out at the tribunals will be resisted,” he said.
Ojougboh maintained the party’s aversion to the appointment of Amina Zakari as acting chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“We have said that the appointment of Zakari is completely unacceptable to us,” he said.
“The example that Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan gave should be followed. We know that she is not apolitical.”
It is this level of impunity that cost the PDP the last general elections in Nigeria. For a party run by sane minded individuals to insist that it will rule Nigeria for 60 years was to me then unimaginable. Now for Nigerians to beg the party to come back in 2019, according to Cairo Ojougboh is another fallacy for which the party is characterised. Mr. Ojougboh will soon wake up from his slumber to realise that Nigerians that the PDP succeeded in deceiving for 16 years have become wiser and more enlightened in the present dispensation. Only lazy people like Cairo Ojougboh (Ojougboh means somebody who is either so cowardly or lazy to go to the farm) that will surely beg PDP to come back to continue to culture of lootocracy that had Nigeria currently on her economic knees. No body will beg PDP to come back in 2019 because as it turned out in the last general elections, it was good riddance to bad nonsense.
You mean that is the meaning of his name? Whao! PDP has the feeling that Nigerians are so dumb. If APC, has a problem, it does not mean that we are interested in PDP coming back. Nobody prays for a relapsing fever.
Beg PDP? Please stop taking Nigerians for granted. PDP is gone forever.
Dreaming as usual.
