PDP To Jonathan – Nigerians Want You Back

The Ahmed Makarfi led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has told former president Goodluck Jonathan that Nigerians are yearning for his return.

In a congratulatory message to celebrate the 59th birthday of Jonathan, the party said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has destroyed the legacies and achievements of the former president.

“At 59, your legacies and achievements in academia, politics, governance and social life remains indelible and worthy of emulation by well-meaning people. You are a shining light during and after office as one of the Heads of State in Nigeria and Africa in general who willingly conceded power to the opposition in the interest of peace and democracy,” the message said.

“Your Excellency Sir, in less than two years of leaving office, Nigerians are yearning and crying for your return especially as your successor who won the 2015 Presidential Election on the altar of propaganda and lies against your administration has done no better since he took over from you on May 29, 2015.

“Your Excellency, the harvest of your electoral reforms for free, fair and credible electoral and democratic processes for which the All Progressive Congress ( APC ) is the primary beneficiary of have been eroded and quickly replaced with inconclusive elections, electoral apathy, voter inducement, intimidation, harassment and unfair incarceration of judges and squeezing of opposition at all levels. This reversal of your achievements is also visible in all sectors of our economy as the vibrant and largest economy you left behind in May 2015 is today in great recession and near depression.”

“Your Excellency Sir, this is your 59th Birthday Anniversary, and so let us allow you celebrate instead of bothering you with the sick and comatose state of our economy.”
