Buhari Says PDP Won’t Stay in Power

Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential aspirant from the opposition All progressives Congress (APC), has said that nothing would make the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stay in power after the Saturday’s presidential poll.
The former military ruler was speaking during town hall meeting with political leaders, traditional rulers and religious leaders in Imo State.
Buhari said that the PDP has thrown the country into chaos, stating that the advice to vote the party out is not based on religion but patriotism by the people who are wanting the change.
“We are in trouble in this country; PDP cannot help us; let us vote them out; it is not about religion but patriotism; PDP has completely failed us. If you leave them for 20 years, they will still not perform.

“Nigeria is being ridiculed all over the world because of their bad governance; Igbo people know this because they are mobile all over the world; APC represents freedom of security and integrity; they know this; so, no amount of sentiment will bring PDP back to power,” APC presidential candidate noted.
He emphasized that after 16 years, the economy of the country becomes worse by the day as a result of bad administration of the ruling party, listing the declining oil sector and the devaluation of the naira as some of the disgraceful governance style of the PDP.
Rochas Okorocha, Imo state governor, who also speaks at the meeting, has raised the fear over supposed plans to rig the forthcoming presidential and other elections in the state by the PDP using security chiefs to perfect their plan.
He said: “PDP has transferred the state commissioner of police to another state; they have also transferred the former resident electoral commissioner and brought their brother from Cross River State; the state NYSC director has also been transferred and they brought somebody from Cross River; this is their plan to rig the election but I have declared myself the people’s General; nobody shall rig the election.”

It should be noted that four days left to the general presidential election, which was postponed on February 7, 2015, by Independent National Electoral Commission.
But politicians are still trying to catch one or another train, defecting from party.
Some APC governors and their deputies will return to the PDP in the next few days, after their nationwide consultations and discussions in the last couple of weeks.
