Only Those Suffering from Political Amnesia Will Vote for the PDP

Only those who are suffering from Political Amnesia will vote for the People's Democratic Party (PDP); the most corrupt political party in the history of Nigeria. 

Rivers State was beautiful, peaceful and safe until the PDP came to power in 1999 and turned it into "Rivers of Blood" in violent political elections.



Bayelsa State was also peaceful until the  horrifying Odi massacre on November 20, 1999, by the Nigerian military on the predominantly Ijaw town of Odi in Bayelsa State.
The massacre was ordered by the regime of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Vice President Atiku Abubakar .

ELECTORAL FACT 1: Atiku Abubakar is Afraid of the Grassroots Movement of President Buhari

ELECTORAL FACT 1:

Majority of Nigerian voters are not on the internet. They are the supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari in the rural areas. And they have their PVCs unlike many of the supporters of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar making noise on Nairaland, Facebook, Twitter and other social media network sites; hiding behind monikers with multiple accounts. And guess what? The most active of them paid by the opposition are not even up 200, because the bankrupt former ruling party, People's Democratic Party (PDP) cannot afford  more than that and the PDP is still owing unpaid salaries of many of their workers since 2015. Moreover, their conduits for embezzlements of public funds by misappropriations of allocations for federal government offices and state governments have been blocked.
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is almost bankrupt and is afraid of the reelection of President Buhari, because that will worsen his predicaments.

Taking Nigeria To The Next Level - By President Muhammadu Buhari

Four years ago, we promised Nigerians real change – in what we do and how we do it. Nigerians sent a clear message in the last election, and our platform offered a new, ambitious plan for a secure, prosperous and corruption-free country. We have worked hard to fulfil our promises – and while the road may have been difficult, over the last three and a half years, we have laid the foundations for a strong, stable and prosperous country for the majority of our people.

Foundational work is not often visible, neither is it glamorous – but it is vital to achieving the kind of country we desire. Judging by the prior depth of decay, deterioration and disrepair that Nigeria had sunken into, we are certain that these past few years have put us in good stead to trudge on the Next Level of building an even stronger nation for our people.
