DUTSE (Jigawa) – Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has declared that the PDP would take over the reins of governance in 2019 because Nigerians have discovered that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a political party founded on deceit.
Speaking in Dutse, Jigawa State on Monday during the PDP membership mobilisation programme, Governor Wike said from the mammoth crowd that turned up for the event it was obvious that there is no APC in Jigawa State.
He said for tens of thousands to troop out for an opposition event, it proved that there was no APC in the state.
He said: “What happened in 2015 has opened the eyes of Nigerians. Nigerians have lost faith in APC. From what we have seen, it is obvious that Nigerians were deceived. They have seen the deceit of APC and they have returned to where they belong.
“They have seen the truth and they are back to their original party. The false stories of 2015 will no longer be accepted and come 2019, PDP will bounce back to power”.
The governor added: “I am going back to the Niger Delta to tell the people that PDP is fully rooted in the north”.
In his remarks, former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido declared that PDP was the antidote of the APC. He said that PDP would provide answers to the developmental needs of Nigerians.
National chairman of the PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff said the visit to Jigawa State was to mobilise more people to register as members of the party.
He said: “There is PDP in Jigawa State. APC is finished.”
The Jigawa PDP membership registration rally was attended by former Governor of Kano State, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, former Governor of Kaduna State, Ramalan Yero, members of the PDP National Working Committee, serving and former National Assembly members.
