Former Minister of Finance Adamu Ciroma yesterday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not lose the 2015 presidential election, neither did the All Progressives Congress (APC) win it.
Ciroma spoke in Abuja while receiving members of PDP Board of TrusteeS (BOT), led by its Chairman, Senator Jibrin Walid.
According to him, although the Federal Government is led by the APC, the PDP is dominating political discourse.
He said: “Just before the last elections and when we saw the trend of events, I warned members of the PDP to prepare itself for whatever eventuality that may come.
“Today, PDP didn’t lose and APC didn’t win because APC has a lot to do.
“When you talk about politics, you talk about PDP. When you talk of politics, people talk about PDP as If APC does not exist. So far, APC is not playing the right role?’’
Noting that any party that got into power must make mistakes, the elder statesman advised fellow party members to prepare for the 2019 elections, “especially as the APC will continue to make mistakes’’.
He challenged PDP members to play positive roles as there would always be several parties, hence they must learn to make the masses the centrepiece of their developmental projects.
“Politics will always be there,’’ he said, adding that “there must be good and bad people who participate in it.
“Everybody who participates in politics does so for good cause and that good cause is for the interest and political stability of Nigerians.
“There will not be one party; there will always be one political party or the others.”
Anyone close to this old man should please wake him up 'cos he's still dreaming.

Deep confessions in deep speech' PDP did not lose and APC did not win'. Jega has an explanation to do.
ReplyDeletePDP loss the election except for any person who is suffering amnesia.
ReplyDeleteYes sir! People talk about PDP for its bad governance for the past 16 years. The party is already in the bad book of Nigerians for the level of corruption brought into governance.
ReplyDeleteIf PDP relaise their mistake and put themselves in order, i will consider them but the issue of corruption should be totally rule out of their blood stream, it is true with the situation of the country now their is no difference between both as we still have corrupt people in APC which Buhari is still shading, therefore, until Buhari come out clean, APC administration is nothing to write home about rather witch hunt, take it or you leave it
