The Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria has dismissed as the height of self mockery, the boast by officials of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that their party will capture at least 32 states in the 2015 election. The party said that by this boast, it is obvious that the PDP hierarchy is living way behind time and needs the rude awakening of a total defeat in 2015 to come to its senses.
In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the ACN, Joe Igbokwe, the party said that it is obvious that PDP is lost irredeemably in the maze it created through corrupt governance, incompetence and maladministration that it cannot even fathom its chances after wrecking Nigeria for fourteen years. It advises the PDP and its expired fixers to get ready to be consigned to Nigeria’s sad history in 2015.
“Nigerians who presently endure the torture of PDP misrule understand the lousy boast of the PDP to ‘capture’ more states with its woeful performance as a declaration of intent to continue stealing the mandates of Nigerians as they have excelled in doing since 1999. Nigerians understand the desperation of PDP to hang to power by all means even with their shameful performance that had left Nigeria desolate and her people destitute. We perfectly understand this devilish obsession with ‘capture’, which holds a notorious party hostage. We however warn the PDP and its riggers to get ready to face the full wrath of Nigerians in 2015 should they believe we have a borderless capacity to tolerate their noxious values.
“We note that in the present self-flattering boast, the PDP is leveraging on the promise of their fixer who promises to do what he knows best to do in 2015. We urge PDP members to think twice before investing in such promise from a man that could barely do what he knows best to do even in his electoral ward during the Edo governorship election in 2012. We want to assure them that if they are bent on capturing states in 2015 with their wrecking of a well endowed country in fourteen years of awful leadership, they will have the determined will of Nigerians to contend with.
According to Igbokwe, “We know the leadership of the troubled party PDP is badly in need of a booster to inflate the sagging confidence of their members but coming out in such a awkward way that takes scant regard to political reality will lead to further doom for the party and its members. PDP at present, is a house on fire; riddled with friction, deeply factionalised and faced with mounting crises between several warring tendencies and if the leaders of that party aimed that callous boast to capture at least 32 states as a way of papering the obvious implosion of the party en route 2015, then they are clearly mistaken as Nigerians have demonstrated the willingness to do away with the unproductive party after fourteen awful years of callous destruction. We all know that the PDP is in serious internal mess and is deeply hated by Nigerians who will do anything to get the nuisance called the PDP out of power.
“We advise the PDP to pack its excess bags and baggage in readiness for a rustication in 2015. We wonder what chances exist for a party whose main mission is looting the commonwealth and leaving Nigerians pauperized, insecure, miserly and dejected. We want to tell the PDP that its time is up and nothing, not even the application of weary rigging tactics will save the PDP from the wrath of Nigerians in 2015.”
