PDP AND THE OPPOSITION PARTIES

PDP AND THE OPPOSITION PARTIES

To open with a house proverb “A person is entitled to his private thought, opinion and beliefs” one cannot be jingoistic in Democracy of Nigeria because we have nothing to write home about. 13 years of PDP fiacre dictatorship which gave birth to insecurity, corruption among public office holders which is increasing day in day out! Some of the members of the opposition party are political harlot jumping from one political party to the other just for the sake of there whims and caprices, the gloom deep in my heart, when a few days to kebbi state governorship re-run election, members of the leading opposition party CPC led by Alhaji Adamu Aleiro, decamped to PDP, which lead to victory of governor Sa’idu Dakingari with almost 92% of the total votes cast.

Our democracy is getting very conic, boring, unhealthy and predictable, we need opposition in Nigeria but it seen the opposition did not need us but there pocket and private gain. The main role of the opposition is to constantly question the government and hold them accountable to the public it is obvious that PDP is very strong political party that has all resources and power at there disposal. One need not to wonder how, the have the majority seat, in national house of assembly, state house, 80% of the state in the federation, even local government chairman and councilors, top government official, all PDP members.

It could have been nice for Nigeria to adopt only one party system (PDP) in other to ease the masses on joining queue, it is also reported that during the April polls, pregnant woman gave birth in the unit of the poll, and after the labour she still came out and cast her vote. Some members of the opposition are toothless bull dogs, and verandah boys of PDP, members of opposition should be strong and propose alternative to what is doing, an alternative to government policies and idea, with much respect to Mallam Nasir El-Rufa’i, for with holding his word and remain in opposition, doing a very good job with his pen.

There is light at the end of tunnel, whoever thought Abdullahi Wada of Senegal would loose the election to the opposition, opposition parties have to form a solid front if they are really serious about taking on PDP at the top in 2015. Democracy is a share responsibility between the opposition party and the government.
