PDP, as a party, from its showing in last Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections, has proven that in spite of the many sweet uses to which money can be put, it sure has its limits.
One musician sang about when money can be useless. According to him, if one has mountains of money and has no good manners to it, it’s of no good value.
True, there’s abject poverty in the land; the type that can force one to go scavenge for food in the dunghill. But with the result of these elections, the Yoruba are dead right in their assertion that no situation, not even grinding poverty, will make the dog eat kolanut. Nigerians, across the broad spectrum, have rejected the Poverty Developing People (PDP) and have roundly and soundly spoken with their votes that they know who their true redeemers are.
The PDP leadership have been certificated by majority of Nigerians in last week’s elections as irredeemable liars, shameless opportunists, men and women bereft of positive ideas that can drive development desirable in a country that is eager to be 21st-Century compliant, economic suckers ever ready to bay for the life blood of the nation.
No wonder they were rejected from coming back to resume their bleeding of the country through the enthronement of class and privilege that had stunted our positive growth over time. If PDP had won, it would have been a sad ENDORSEMENT of filthy acts of scam mainly from among their ranks, for which Nigeria has earned world-wide notoriety and opprobrium.
I really can still not fathom why the PDP ever thought Nigerians could suffer such memory lapse that they will forget so soon the recklessness and profligacy of the PDP administration of Goodluck Jonathan which Buhari succeeded barely four years ago. No one can convince me that even the Obasanjo regime that preceded Jonathan’s was any better. If Obasanjo, as President of Nigeria, and after his departure from the Presidential Villa in Abuja, ceaselessly shouted himself hoarse that his deputy, Atiku Abubakar, was shamelessly corrupt, it speaks volume to the persona of Obasanjo himself to make a volte face and campaign for such a person again to be the President of our country. It must have been Animal Kingdom, not Nigeria, Obasanjo wished Atiku to superintend over!
Quite frankly, I cannot stop being amused by this band of jokers in PDP to think that after the roughshod ride over our sensibilities and our future, like a man would mess up a lady, he could ever think of coming back, to be comfy in bed with such a defiled lady!
Thank heavens, the people were one in PDP’s rejection across the country. And who cares if these PDP looters and exploiters fret and foam in the mouth that they are not accepting the results of last Saturday’s election. The good news is that they do not have the character, the good grace or the number to reverse the gains of these elections!
