CONGRATULATIONS Makarfi, But PDP Is DEAD!!! by TonyeBarcanista(m): 12:44pm On Jul 12, 2017 |
By TonyeBarcanista The game of politics is about interest, interest ranges from that of the overall populace, a group of people, individuals etc. A close look at both the ruling APC, the Sheriff factional PDP and that of the victorious Markafi camp clearly point to the interest they all represent- The Political Elite When you look at both the PDP and APC constitutions, they clearly tilt to favor the political elite in both parties. In fact, it is difficult (if not impossible) for an outsider to emerge candidate through a transparent process without the dictate of political gladiators or godfathers in both parties. These aspirants emerge candidates, win elections and continue to protect the same interest of the elitist group. Hence, the phrase, "All of them are the same". Before the launch of APDA on June 5, 2017, I was of the opinion that the party is neither a PDP fall-back or a plan B for the Markafi camp, the judgement has clearly given the APDA an opportunity to affirm what they stand for as a party. The APDA, unlike the APC and PDP, has a constitution that surrenders power to their the people. This is a party whose constitution erode delegate system to entrench direct primary system that will see all members of the party to partake in the election of party leaders, candidates and other elective representative. The APDA as a party allows for a minimum of 25% elective and appointive slots of members of Youth age (18-35) in all public and party offices. It further state a minimum of 30% for women and 5% for people living with disabilities. Why then should Nigeria people, youths and women continue to waste their time, resources and votes on the parties (APC, PDP) and factions (Sheriff and Markafi) that only protect the interest of the political elite at the expense of the common man? I am very happy that PDP crises has settled and PDP political heavyweights will concentrate on their party. I am very happy that the Nigeria electorates will now have the privilege to discern that APDA as a party means business. One truth we must tell ourselves is that, whether Markafi or Sheriff, PDP is DEAD!!! It has gone 6 feet in the Northwest, it is hopeless in the Northeast, it is the equivalent of Ebola in the Southwest, in the Southeast Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB calls the shot even when PDP controls government (due to the fact that APC is/was no option). In the Southsouth, the governments in power are as incompetent as the government at the center, the story is not different in the Northcentral. The ruling APC has failed but the only option for Nigeria in 2019 is to embrace a party that they can be active stakeholders in determining candidates for elective positions, so as to have emergence of leaders whose loyalty will be to the Nigeria people not the political elite. We are STRONGER TOGETHER!!!

Chaiii In as much as I am not a supporter of any political party, i pray for the survival of pdp. If not for anything at least to mount pressure on Apc lead government to do the right thing. Apc needs a strong opposition party to keep then on track So far only pdp have what it takes to be that party 85 Likes 3 Shares |

Seems the OP is afraid of losing his expected 'pot of soup' in the new APDA should PDP bounce back. ![]() Why not continue your campaign for your newly found friends/APDA and allow PDP to settle their differences ![]() 116 Likes 7 Shares |

TheFreeOne:Which part of the article did I stand against whatever activities of the failed/dead PDP? A party that refused to even adopt a Committee report that we all praised? A party that is still controlled by godfathers and powerful heavyweights at the expense of Nigerians? Cut us some some slack boss Modified: Dokpesi is/was a floor member in APDA. He is not the Chairman, he is NOTHING!!! He can associate anywhere or even leave the party, it won't stop APDA. Most of us are in APDA to ensure that we use the power of the youths and women to get what is of benefit to Nigerians and not to ass-lick any supposed Big Man. 4 Likes 1 Share |
