PDP, the main opposition party,said Monday that Nigerians would beg it to return to power in 2019.
This was stated by the National Vice Chairman, South-South zone of the party, Cairo Ojuogbo, in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
You will recall that PDP had ruled the country for 16 years until May 29 when it handed over power to the All Progressives Congress after losing the March 28 Presidential election.
Ojuogbo said his party would return to power because the APC is crisis-ridden, alluding to the disagreement in the ruling party over the National Assembly leadership.
He said the APC not only lacks the capacity to manage the crisis, but also lacks coordination and ideology.
He stated that a panel had been set up to work out how the PDP can regain power at the centre, come 2019 elections. The panel is headed by a former governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi,
He restated the PDP’s opposition to the appointment of Amina Zakari as the acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission claiming she is not apolitical.
Ojugbo further stated that “Rivers and Akwa Ibom State tribunals are sitting in Abuja, and No amount of intimidation will make the PDP lose the elections it won freely and fairly in these states. Any move to rig us out will be resisted.” He added.
