This is how PDP "KILLED" the Naira in early 2015!

When you put too much Forex into circulation, you DEVALUE the Naira.

That was exactly what happend after the election in 2015, when PDP has pumped too much bribery dollars (inlcuding Jonathan sharing Dollars to Obas and Cheifs) into circulation and the Naira went to over #500 to $1.
They have started again.

Somebody should tell me the kind of WORK that these criminals did, to be able to afford to share forex like that.

I just hope Nigerians, including the greedy one who benefitted from the sharing, know that these people are ruining their future and investments, with such activities.

PDP is always about LOOT and SHARE the Treasury, among themselves.

Nigerian Politicians are criminals and they all deserve a bullet right in the middle of the head.

So PDP is responsible for the naira decline under Buhari's administration?

I like how you think grin

It's the other way round, much dollars in the system start chasing naira so dollars rate fall and naira value increase from the 360 to something lower.
BTW, Buhari caused devaluation of naira by closing domiciliary, fining MTN 5 billion dollars which lead to massive divestment of over 80 billion dollars from the economy, incessant harassment of opposition members and course the multiple exchange he was operating which his cabals were the main beneficiaries.
These caused the devaluation not Johnathan.

No hope for Naija. If all Nigerians drop dead, excepting babies, then, maybe in 500 years time, she might see development.

Outgoing member of the House of Representatives for Aniocha/Oshimili constituency of Delta State, Mrs. Amaechi Mrakpor, has accused the winner of Wednesday's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary for the Aniocha/Oshimili constituency, Ndudi Elumelu, of disobeying Governor Ifeanyi Okowa's earlier directive not to give delegates more than N100,000 each during the primary.

The primary, which was conducted amidst heavy sporadic shooting midway into the counting of votes, followed by disruption of the exercise by the federal lawmaker, as well as the slapping of an electoral officer by the state PDP chairman, Mr. Kingsley Esiso, saw Ndidi Elumelu emerge winner with 266 votes.

He was declared winner by the Returning Officer, Uzor Nwadu, with Mrakpor scoring 226 votes.

Speaking with journalists in Asaba, the Delta State capital on the outcome of the primary, wife of the Delta State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mrs. Mrakpor, alleged that her closest rival induced more than 500 delegates with $1,500 each, noting that the action was a violation of Okowa’s earlier directive that no aspirant should give more than N100,000 to each delegate for logistics.

Mrakpor said: “On the night of October 1, some delegates from my local government informed me that Elumelu was giving delegates $1,500. I didn’t quite believe it because, before then, the governor had announced that no aspirant should give any delegate more than N100,000 for their accommodation, transport and feeding.

“That was the briefing we got and I got ready with N100,000 each. But by the night of October 1, I received a phone call that Elumelu was giving out $1,500 or N550,000 and I confirmed it."

Mrakpor, said to be Okowa's 'anointed' candidate, alleged that after Elumelu voted, "he came back and started campaigning to the delegates while voting was going on. After that he brought out a Ghana-must-go bag and started sharing jollof rice and chicken and nobody cautioned him.

"I was trying to be obedient. He shared about $800,000, and just yesterday morning, he went out again to share another 'dollars for breakfast' to the delegates. Nobody stopped him.” Mrakpor said.

In a swift reaction, Elumelu refuted all the allegations levelled against him by Mrakpor, and urged her to accept defeat and work with him.

It was reliably gathered that Okowa was not happy that his preferred candidate, lost the ticket, and that the governor has not forgiven Elumelu for refusing to step down for him during the PDP governorship primary in 2014. He is said to have ordered that the primary be conducted again so as to favour the incumbent federal lawmaker.

Meanwhile, in following the governor's directives for a repeat of the primary, Mrakpor mobilised delegates loyal to her on Friday to the cenotaph, venue of the rerun primary, where they waited all day for PDP and INEC officials, who did not show up until Mrakpor and her delegates left the venue disappointed at about 5:30pm.

Sources in the PDP confided in our correspondent that Tony Elumelu, elder brother to winner of the primary, who is chairman of United Bank for Africa, has contacted Governor Okowa over the development, warning him to desist from the arrangement for a repeat of the primary.

Listen,Nigeria is corrupt on all fronts,name it,but PDP always make the difference in sharing and spending the money,thereby energizing the economy which in turn boost both the micro and macro economy.This was what happened during GEJ tenure.PDP is still the best by Nigeria standards.
HEHEN. No wonder Goodluck Jonathon said stealing is not corruption.
The money that they are sharing. Must it it be between themselves. Is it their own The money that they are spending was it not confirmed that it was all meant to increase their wealth. With what you wrote you still concluded that PDP is the best.
