The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, has said all the former governors of the party who defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, are executing the manifesto of their old party. According to him, this was responsible for the successes they recorded in their respective states. The governors are Rotimi Amaechi(Rivers), Rabiu Kwankwanso(Kano), Aliyu Wamakko(Sokoto), Abdulfatah Ahmedi(Kwara) and others. Mu’azu made this known in a statement he issued on Thursday in Abuja. He said, “For the better part of the eight or four years they governed Rivers, Sokoto, Kano, Adamawa and Kwara, they executed PDP manifesto before they defected to join the All Progressive Congress where they have continued to execute PDP blue print for success. “Nigerians should ask Governor Amechi if he has executed any other manifesto other than those of the PDP even after he left the party. “Ask Governor Kwankwaso whether his infrastructural successes were not planned by PDP government that he headed in Kano state? Has Sokoto’s Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko done any work that was not originated by the PDP government through which he came to power?” On the 2015 election, Mu’azu said APC was busy working on propaganda instead of working on how to win the polls. He also said the PDP has done a lot for President Goodluck Jonathan to be re-elected in 2015. “Our nearest rivals are not only spinning out of control but have succeeded in elevating propaganda into an art form to try and win at all cost. “All the PDP has to do is state the facts of our achievements on the ground over and over as they stand because Nigerian voters are not dumb or silly.
“They know that propaganda don’t win you votes, they only complicate matters because sooner rather than later, their propaganda and lies will fall flat on their faces. “The Nigerian electorate know that leopards don’t change their skin overnight. The change Nigerians need is a change in their standard of living, transformation of the basic infrastructure to better roads, better bridges, and better education standard, better management of the economy as well as better health infrastructure which make us a better country and not change to a political party just to achieve their personal desires,” Mu’azu said. He added that APC politicians who are always point an accusing finger at the PDP for failing to make a difference in the governance of Nigeria over the past 15 years must know that they share more of the blame for the so called ‘incompetence and cluelessness’. The PDP chairman said, “This is because as they point one finger at the PDP, four of their fingers are pointing back at their APC. “How can the gang of five governors who left the PDP in 2013 extricate themselves from those accusations when they were all part of the decision making organs of the party? “Let the APC continue their folly as Nigerians are no fools. We all know their empty game plan, the result which will dawn on them after Nigerians cast their votes on February 14, 2015. “They will then turn around to say that PDP has massively rigged the election. They will fail in their bid to scuttle PDP’s bid for a historic fourth presidential election victory.”
