PDP is destroyed as a brand - El-Rufai

Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been annihilated as a brand.


The governor was confident that the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu reconciliation committee would resolve the crises within the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the party would come out stronger.

He spoke at the Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, Kwara State, at a lecture: ‘Governing justly: Perspective from far and near with lessons for Nigeria.’

According to El-Rufai, more misdeeds of PDP’s 15 years of misrule would come to the fore before 2019.
He said: “APC is a miracle; we are a party that is just five years old but we are a miracle, a 21st century miracle. A party that was formed a year to the election and it ejected a party that had ruled for 16 years, is a miracle.

“We will solve our problems and we will win the next elections, even in more states because we are capable of solving our problem while the other party is so disorganised and misinformed.”

“The reasons why Nigerians voted out the PDP in 2015 was because they were tired, everyone could see that the country was heading towards collapse, so people voted against the PDP.

“There must be a consistent, unwavering focus on security, peaceful co-existence and human development goals that will deliver justice to the people.”
