RESPONSE: Let me tell you something important first, you measure a party in government by the promises it has been able to keep, another is the implementation of their own budget. Having said that, you must understand that Nigerians are becoming increasingly politically enlightened to extent that all any well-meaning party needs to do is to present a viable presidential candidate and allow the electorate decide. Look at what happened in America with Trump it was the electorate that won the elections and not the party. This is not to say political parties don’t matter any longer, party is a platform to galvanise people but once you bring a credible individual Nigerians will go there.
Even though political party philosophy have not been clearly defined but Nigerians know PDP and they know APC and what they stand for, so if PDP today as the only truly national party presents a credible candidate, it is left for Nigerians to decide whether to still go with APC or choose the PDP.
I can tell you authoritatively that PDP has fought corruption more than any other party in the history of their country because with the first 2 months of the PDP administration in 1999 a speaker of the House of Assembly was removed just for age falsification, various Senate Presidents were impeached, Governors were impeached as well as a serving Inspector General of Police, so whoever is telling you that PDP doesn’t fight corruption or won’t fight corruption if returned to power at the federal level is being economical with the truth. So how can you compare it with what is happening in today’s APC government which rode on the mantra of anti-corruption crusade to win the votes of Nigerians. PDP will certainly do better if returned to power in 2019.
Thanks you.
