PDP IS THE ONLY PARTY THAT HAS DIRECTION FOR DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA

Our attention has been drawn to several verbal attack and uncomplimentary remarks by some shameless individuals that the Peoples Democratic Party is dead and has since been buried in Nigeria political lexicon. We would have ignore these rabble rousers for what they are and their deficit of idea on what constitute an opposition government but we want to put the record straight that the Peoples Democratic Party is and remain the only political party in Nigeria with national interest as others are promoting ethnic agenda. The party in the last 16 years that it held sway to power at the center has embarked on laudable policies and programs that has direct effect on the lives of millions of Nigerians.

It is therefore unfortunate that the highest beneficiaries of PDP administration are the same people who are running their mouth at every occasion to cast aspersion on the Peoples Democratic Party because of their political expediencies. We want to use this medium to tell Nigerians that the Peoples Democratic Party within its 17 years of existence has been able to groom finest politicians in the country who are saddle with highest political responsibilities in the country today.

For the avoidance of doubt, the current Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki is a product of the PDP and has served Kwara State for good eight years as PDP governor and four years in the Senate as PDP member. The current Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara is a product of PDP. The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Ameachi is a product of PDP and so many others.

It is shameful for people who has benefitted from PDP administration to shamelessly come out in public functions to pronounce the party dead. How can a party with 125 members in the House of Representatives, 49 Senators and 13 Governors be pronounced dead? How can a party that has offices in all the over 9000 Wards in the country, 774 local government and 36 states and FCT be pronounced dead? It is either the proponents of this falsehood are suffering from dementia or lack ideas on what a typical opposition is. We challenge them to come up with records of their numerical strength when PDP was at the center of power.

We make bold to say that as at today, PDP remain the only party with national appealing and urge our members not to allow themselves to be cajoled by the antics of few selfish and ungrateful individuals. The Peoples Democratic Party is restrategizing and waxing strong in line with the rebranding program of the Party and will come out strong in the next general election in 2019.

Signed:

UBONG DAVID
Acting National President

EFREN PENAFLORIDA - SOCIAL WORKER AND TEACHER

Efren’s Penaflorida – Social Worker and Teacher Efren PeƱaflorida, Jr. sports no cape. He has no superpowers. You would neither throw him a second glance nor even notice him in a big crowd. There is really nothing special about Efren except his unparalleled dedication to reforming kids in their poverty-stricken community in Cavite, Philippines.Efren PeƱaflorida, Jr.’s sanity was questioned when people first saw him going around the neighborhood pushing his improvised cart loaded with food, books, paper, pencils, and other things you would commonly see in a classroom. Why, Efren goes around the neighborhood pushing a mobile classroom to peddle the love for education. He left his well-paying job as a private school teacher to devote all of his time and effort to his Kariton Klasrum project while his neighbors mock him.To make matters worse, his parents and brother did not see the point in his earnestness to get out-of-school youths interested in going back to school. For a family s...
