2019: Why Buhari cannot save APC -PDP

By Samuel Ogidan
Ahead of 2019 general elections, the Peoplesa�� Democratic Party {PDP), has cautioned the All Progressive Congress (APC), governors, who have been running to President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja for help, insisting that even the President, in 2019 will be embattled and not be spared, but would be roundly crushed.
The PDP noted that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) cannot deceive Nigerians again with the same lies and empty promises it scammed to win in 2015.
Explaining the reasons why the APC cannot go back to the electorates, PDP said that APC would not be able to face the more than 8 million Nigerians it has rendered jobless with its reckless policies.
The party in a statement issued yesterday by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said that judgment awaits the APC from thousands of workers who were unjustly sacked in the states where APC governors rule, particularly Kogi and Kaduna.
“The APC cannot 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,” the party noted.
“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 party said, while challenging the APC to 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.
Explaining further why APC is held in contempt by the people, PDP said 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, and placed the nation as major global investment destination.
