Revealed! How PDP plan to defeat Buhari in 2019

Paul Okah Blog can authoritatively report that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) plans to d

efeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in next year's general election, because of the strategies that were revealed by the party during the meeting held by members of the Board of Trustees (BoT) on Thursday night.

Shortly after the presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, led a delegation to obtain the endorsement of former Nigeria president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, in Abeokuta, the party held a meeting of members of the Board of Trustees in Abuja.

The meeting had in attendance the Presidential candidate; Atiku Abubakar, Senate President; Bukola Saraki, Deputy Senate President; Ike Ekweremadu, BoT Chairman; Walid Jibrin, PDP Chairman; Uche Secondus, among other important members of the party.

In the meeting, Saraki, Atiku, Jibrin and others had a say on what to expect from the party in 2019. In fact, PDP Chairman, Secondus, said that the party lost in 2015 out of laxity and "Abuja politics" and told the stakeholders present that the stakes were now higher and that they will have to work together to unseat the APC in 2019.

He said: "The party was complacent in 2015, which led to our losing the election. Now, every BOT member must deliver his or her unit, ward or constituency. This was lacking in the last election. We must build a consensus and arrangement that you will be rewarded and be recognized when you deliver. We cannot play the type of Abuja politics that made us lose in 2015."

"Our task now is to focus and remain focused. Our target is to win all the polling units in the country and we will be able to do that, with the strategies in place. A popular candidate has emerged. He is grounded in Nigeria. What is left for us to do is to take the message home. The current government is vicious. They are framing up and coming up with lies and propaganda, but we are happy that we are in complete control of the National Assembly.

"We must sustain that so that the international community will be aware that the PDP is ready to take over the government and do what we know how to do best: which is to provide good leadership for Nigerians. Of course, the APC know how to be in opposition and they will go back to their former position. However, we can't do it alone. We must have everyone on board. We must move fast immediately when INEC releases the timetable for campaigns.
