The opposition party would like nothing better than to bury the Peoples Democratic Party.
According to All Progressives Congress, there will be a ‘good funeral’ on March 28, and the party hopes to officiate.
The National Chairman of APC, John Odigie-Oyegun made the following utterances on Saturday, March 14, while speaking at the party’s zonal rally in Port Harcourt.
“We were in the North-west yesterday. You know the North-West is the home base of the incoming president. South-South is also important to us because it is the home of the out-going president.”
“These zones are crucial. I thank you for your support, courage and resilience. You have survived your oppressors despite all odds. Goodluck Jonathan is our son and brother but he has failed us as a region and Nigeria. So we want to send him on an honourable retirement. I know you will all support the APC in this venture because we must send him home. PDP is confused and disoriented.”
“They have no sense of direction. PDP is down but not out yet. So a lot of work still needs to be done, that is why we are here. Let me also assure you that PDP’s funeral still holds despite the rescheduling of the elections. We will have a good funeral ceremony for PDP come March 28. I want you to promise me that you will all come out and deliver these votes.”
“And that you will be there, ready and prepared to make sure that every vote counts. We are going to deliver the entire South- South to our president in-waiting, General Muhammadu Buhari.”
There will surely be a funeral service, yes that of APC and all it stand for. GEJ till 2019
