Former National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has said that the All Progressive Congress ( APC) won the 2015 election because they conducted an election not selection and allowed internal democracy, not imposition to prevail.

Speaking as the guest of the week on a Kaduna based radio station programme monitored by our correspondent, Bamanga said reconciliation, reformation and rebuilding based on equity and justice are the fundamentals for a true democratic state.

He noted that the APC, by making all the elements relevant and allowing the people to choose their leaders through elections, allow the democratic system to prevail for the interest of all.

“The management of the PDP should allow for free and fair elections, internal democracy, equity and justice because when these prevail, people follow.
“Jonathan did not insist I leave the party, there were people in the PDP who felt I should not practice what I preached. Because discipline is very important, following the laws you established, is very important, why you do not want to follow the laws you established and you don’t change them, you have problem?

“I was accused of being a virus in the PDP, and I did not deny it, I told them I am a virus for good governance, virus for internal democracy, virus for equity and justice, I hope that virus will continue.

“President Jonathan could not protect me due to the powers of the governors, the governors are very powerful and therefore, if you do not do what they want, you are done away with and I believe nothing can be done to them.

Speaking on insecurity in the North-East, he said, “in 2013, when Boko Haram element started to show its face, I said to Nigerians, if the country is attacked, all Nigerians must come together and attack the elements and indicated there principles including, strengthening both military and para-military defences.”

The PDP did not lose the elections because of the APC. They lost because the President Jonathan failed to live up to expectations and a lot of people were not willing to give him four more years.

In other words, APC did not win, President Jonathan was voted out

hope wailers understood that bolded part...that's all i have to say.

I think what Bama TUk was saying is that if PDP had choosen the person to represent them through election and not selection things might not have been the way it is because people were tired and have grow weary of Jonathan faux pax

Mynd44:

Lets be honest, the President Jonathan would have won any primary done by the PDP. You really believe Sule Lamido would have won? Be truthful.

Top members of the PDP are still not being honest with themselves about the last elections and without being honest, they will keep going in circles. They lost because people were tired of their BS.
