SEE 30 TOP FORMER PDP MEMBERS WHO ALLEGEDLY 'DESTROYED' NIGERIA FOR 16 YEARS NOW KEY MEMBERS OF THE APC

A shocking revelation has unearthed names of former Peoples Democratic Party chieftains who oversaw the 'destruction' of the country for 16 years under the PDP now all repented converts of the APC. 

Nigerians have been told many times that the Peoples Democratic Party ruled and ruined the country for 16 years, looting and plundering the nations' commonwealth. The assertion is not true and according to findings, it is still members of the All Progressives Party who are shouting that PDP ruined the country that are the same people who are still ruling the country.

According to a compilation by The Summary, most of the key politicians in the ruling APC were core members of the PDP who ruled during the 16 years of the party's control of Nigeria before defecting to the APC.

In fact, there is no major difference between the APC and the PDP as the ruling party has not made any significant progress since coming into power. The reason for this, many say is the fact that majority of the present day members of the APC are former PDP members.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations.
