PDP’s desire to win election in 2019 is self-deception

Former militant group has fired former President Goodluck Jonathan over desire for his People's Democratic Party (PDP) to return to power in 2019

- The group led by Israel Akpodoro, said the party cannot win any state in the country let alone winning a national election

- He listed a catalogue of corrupt members of the party, saying with the long list of corrupt members the party leaders should hide their head in shame

The National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators has said that the desire of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to return to power in 2019 was self-delusion, insisting that the meeting held in former President Goodluck Jonathan’s house in Abuja in preparation for 2019 would not yield result.

On Tuesday, February 13, PDP leaders met in Goodluck Jonathan's house in Abuja, ostensibly to make strategies and preparation to win election in 2019

Led by Israel Akpodoro, the former militant group said the days of the PDP in power had expired, adding that if the former president could not retain power while serving as president, it would be impossible for him to win any election for his party now that he is no longer in power.

The group, which said the PDP misruled the country for 16 years, noted that no amount of propaganda mounted by the leadership of the party could make it win more states, let alone winning a national election.
