Ekiti election: Why Nigerians rejected PDP – APC chieftain, Njeze
Ejike Njeze, weekend said Nigerians can no longer throw their weight
behind the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, owing to the increased level
of awareness about the corruption and impunity wrought under the watch
of the party since 1999.
According to him, the outcome of Saturday's Ekiti governorship
election showed that the end of the PDP had come.
He said "the opposition was, once again, reminded of its negative
reputation and dwindling popularity among citizens."
Njeze said the electorates still remembered the institutional damages
the PDP wrecked on the country for 16 years.
He said that while the APC cannot brag about achieving all of its set
goals, it can boast of fixing most of the damages caused by the past
administration.
Fielding questions from journalists in Abuja, the APC chieftain said:
"I can tell you categorically that there is no hope for the PDP or any
other political party as far as 2019 presidency is concerned. No hope,
absolutely.
"Tell me, who is the candidate they are presenting? Nigerians are more
politically aware today than in the previous years. So, nobody can
pull a wool over another's eye. Let us leave political propagandists
and mischief makers alone but focus on reality."
On the purported plans by some federal lawmakers to join the CUPP, he
said: "The truth is that the APC is not losing any of its stalwarts or
National Assembly members to the coalition formed by the opposition.
"People can feel aggrieved, protest, and even use languages that are
not civil. But the truth is that we are not losing anybody, because
the truth remains that APC is the most lucrative party in Nigeria and
they know it."
