If you studied elementary government,you will notice that every government and opposition uses propaganda.the masses alongside pdp incompetence enthroned buhari and shall be renewed till 2023.

Kwankwanso, Saraki, Tambuwal and Dogara are on their way back to PDP.

Just wait and see.

Let me see how APC will survive the tsunami.

Jaideyone:
PDP is about to land in another crisis


the same party where
-7 is greater than 16

-votes are usually higher than the number of voters/delegates

we are patiently waiting for the result of this convention of looters and thieves

Looters no dey APC saraki,Buhari, tinubu,amaechi are they looters?

Is like ur battery of ur brain is dead need to be changed

hooklover:


Allvtgese are when folks were thinking he will turn water to wine he had wat it takes to put Nigeria on path of greatness so folks foolishly voted him.

Now 1turnue is finished already next year is for campaigns he can't do any serious job again...Now we are worst of in every aspect...hunger and suicide everywhere.

He has lost over half of supporters in 2015.He has lost folks like me DAT voted him due to poor focus vision....

Is not magic he failed to deliver and so he will be in dreamland expecting massive votes like 2015...

Its not a guarantee for buhari any longer...

As far as shagari and obj got 2nd term despite average performance,why not a ruthless bubu? He has not lost over half his supporters because they are mostly in the north and are still chanting sai baba.even those against him in the south would rather not vote than vote for atiku that is worse.

SouthEastFacts:

Kwankwanso, Saraki, Tambuwal and Dogara are on their way back to PDP.

Why should they go back? Only kwankwaso is likely to go back.even if tambuwal defects,buhari always wins sokoto.dogara has no electoral influence in bauchi apart from his constituency.no sane governor would defect to pdp except his re election is threatened or hes in his 2bd term and tambuwal no dey that boat.you are the one to wait like a waiter that you are

Looters are both in apc and pdp but they are more in pdp.most of the looters in apc came from your side.any evil or vice apc does,pdp does it 10 times more.almost everybody in pdp is evil and corrupt,a party synonymous with corruption.among all the names at the convention,its only agbaje and prof adeniran i know that is clean.but since pdp loves corruption,it elected a corrupt secondus.can you compare him to our clean chairman oyegun?

'Rebuilding to Regain'



On behalf of members of the National Working Committee of the Peoples' Democratic Party, i dedicate this mandate to the Almighty God who it has pleased to make this convention successful and grant us this opportunity to serve our great party. We give all glory to God and we commit PDP into his hands.



I stand before you this day, humbled by the mandate you just given to my colleagues and I to lead this great party at this time in Nigeria's political history. We wholeheartedly accept it with extreme gratitude.



Eighteen years ago specifically February 14, 1999, this party made history with its first ever national convention in Jos, Plateau State and since then, has grown to become undisputedly, the largest political party on the African continent.



I recall that before that, precisely on the 19th of August, 1998, our founding fathers gathered here in Abuja to give birth to this party whose aims and objectives were patriotic, with lofty and visionary dreams.



By my understanding, the mandate you have given us today is clear and unambiguous. It is to return our party to power come 2019. As Herculean as this mandate seems, I know it's achievable. My campaign pillars for this election are 'To Rebuild, Reposition and Regain'. Let me assure you great members and leaders of our party, that by the grace of God and with all hands on deck, the brief tenancy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Aso Rock Villa expires on May 28, 2019. By this, we serve them a quit notice.



This has to be immediate, in order to save our beloved country from disintegration. We are all witnesses to how the unity of this country has been shaken to its very foundation under the watch of the rudderless and clueless APC. We therefore have a gigantic task of retrieving this country from APC's clear lack of direction and confusion starting with the Presidency.



In the words of the 34th President of the United States of America Dwight .D. Eisenhower, "If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power". Judging from this, it is crystal clear to all Nigerians, that APC is not a political party, but a body hurriedly assembled to seize power without a clear cut plan for governance.



Our party on the other hand, was founded on ideals which are totally in tandem with those of the founding fathers of this great country. Those founding fathers had in mind, a prosperous and lasting democracy as captured in the preamble of our constitution clearly stating their desire for a free and egalitarian society. Even in our perceived failure of 2015, we chose to to abide by our strong faith in democracy, willingly conceding power to opposition, thereby elevating the democratic status of Nigeria. We are the true democrats!



i can therefore say without an iota of doubt, that PDP's contributions to the growth and sustenance of democracy in this country in the last 18 years remain unequalled. The best way to celebrate the memories of these founding fathers, is to ensure that the ideals are continuously engaged. (At this juncture great PDP leaders and members here present, let us stand and observe a minute silent for our fallen heroes one of whom is our pioneer National Chairman and former Vice President of this country Dr Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme GCON who passed on recently)



With your mandate I assure you, that all necessary steps will be taken to avoid a repeat of our past mistakes. Indeed we have learnt our lessons and by this convention, we are now set to forge a new path for our great party and Nigeria. Under my watch, Internal democracy will be strictly adhered to with a deliberate policy to return 'real' power to the people. No more imposition, no more impunity. Every member of this party can from this moment, consider him or herself, an equal shareholder in our common destiny. I call on all Nigerians, of all creed and class, to embrace this new PDP and join in this quest for a new Nigeria. Particularly, I reach out to our old members who for one reason or the other have left the party, to please come back 'home'.



I cannot end this address without acknowledging my co-contestants especially for the chairmanship position. Truth be told, any one of you is eminently qualified to lead this party. I thank you for a worthy contest and being part of history as this marks the first time such a highly competitive contest to produce the leadership of a political party has been held in Nigeria. You have every cause to stand tall and I now extend my hand of fellowship to you all. Let 'US' Rebuild, Reposition & Regain.



In the same breath, let me thank the outgoing National Caretaker Committee led by Senator Ahmed Markafi. We will forever remember your courageous leadership in our most trying times. History will no doubt, be kind to you. I must also thank the Convention Committee led by HE Dr. Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa for a job well done.



Finally in accepting this mandate, I am guided by the words of the 19th President of the United States of America, Rutherford Hayes who said in 1877 "he serves his party best, who serves his country best"



God bless you all



Long live the Peoples' Democratic Party of Nigeria

Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria



PDP-Power to the People

Power to the People-PDP.



I thank you for listening

Am happy this man, Secondus won the chairmanship.

Pdp don't have that integrity. So it is APC that have integrity.... WAWU.
My broda both parties don't have integrity oh. No disturb yourself for those ppl oh.
The same apc that have Tinubu who like Saraki, refused to declare his assets. The same APC who welcome Obanikoro to their party. That is the party that have integrity. WAWU.
In APC only Buhari try to have integrity small but till today I am yet to see how that integrity is helping our lives. Everything is expensive and all I keep hearing are denials of promises, excuses and blaming of the previous government.
And they still want 4 more years so I will continue hearing stories.

SouthEastFacts:

Yoruba delegates didn't even vote en mass for their consensus candidate and they want other regions to vote for them. Who go be there mumu?

Out of 346 SW delegates, only 230 voted for Prof. Angels09 what happened to the other 116 SW delegates.

They don't love themselves and expect others to love them.

I love Prof still, but your brothers backstabbed you.

Fineman87 come and see your friends.

It is very sad.

Lol. My brother. I had to enjoy my sleep after following the convention throughout yesterday.

Deluded Southwest. With the result, its clear that the SS/SE +North voted enbloc for Secondus. I thought they said the North voted massively for adeniran. Zone.bs. Nobody wants to entrust Africas largest party to betrayers.

SouthEastFacts:

The only Yoruba to ever ruled this country was forced down the throats of Yorubas. After leaving power, he couldn't win his small ward again until Amosun influence helped in 2015.

First ever Governor General
First ever President
First ever Head of State
First ever Vice President
First ever Speaker
First ever Senate President
First ever running mate to Buhari

The first time Yorubas were supposed to taste the Senate Presidency, Igbos broke their heart.

Politically, we aint mind. 2015 was SW first time of ever getting it right.

in 1999 two Yoruba men was forced down the throat of every Nigerian's

Since 1999 a Yoruba man has become the president, another Yoruba man is now the vice president, in 2023 a Yoruba man will rule over you again

It wasn't on a platter of gold, he was imposed on the Yorubas, forced down their throat by other regions.

President 3 times? Fear God nah. I hope you are not talking about 1st and 2nd terms and overflopped 3rd term agenda.

Or a you talking about Abiola failed attempt to become President.

don't forget that the likes of ekweremadu was told to forget about his presidential ambition because of a Yoruba man

Till the day this world end,two yeebos can never be allowed to contest the presidential election the way two Yoruba's were allowed to do so

hooklover:

Don't claim that as an Achievement. Yorubas were compensated for June 12, they presented their preferred candidates, but Nigerian brought out another from prison and forced him down their throats.

If you are talking about number of Yorubas contesting for a single election under different parties, then I would like to refer you to 2003 Presidential Aspirants.

If a Yoruba man becomes President in 2023, then I'll concede Political Sophistication to SW.

You got VP because SE or SS was not part of that fraud called APC, if not Buhari would have still gone for SE again.

It seems you have phobia for history.

There is nothing politically SW has ever achieved without SE getting it first. Not a single one.
