| President Muhammedu Buhair |
Ex PDP National Chairman, Dr. Ahmadu Ali has seen his party
as a contending force for power in 2019, but said Nigerians will vote for
President Muhammadu Buhari if he decided to take impart in the race of aso rock
in 2019.
According to Ahmadu, Nigerians are too criticizing the
current led Buhari’s administration over his poor performance so far he emerged.
Speaking
with Saturday Sun, the Director-General of the Goodluck Jonathan/Mohammed Sambo
Presidential Campaign Organisation in 2015, said: “Buhari’s performance that
you are criticizing now, give him another year, you will be singing his praise.
“As
far as Nigeria is concerned, they have forgotten the past, they will vote for
him unless he is not standing. If Buhari is standing in 2019, people will vote
for him.”
Explaining
why he sees the possibility of Buhari’s victory in 2019 despite the present
cries of Nigerians about hardship, Ali said: “in order to get something good,
you have to do a radical surgery, that radical surgery the pain is what we are
suffering from; I am telling you when the pains heal and we start enjoying the
surgery that was put in place, we will be ready to vote again if it is the same
Buhari because they will say if things go wrong, he knows how to fix it.”
Ali,
who noted that his party will be up against an uphill task if Buhari “continues
to perform well and he wants to come back”, stated that such does not mean the
PDP cannot defeat the President, adding that, “after all he defeated us so we
should be able to defeat him.”
He
went on to blame the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, for the current
leadership squabble in the PDP, stressing that their plan is to disorganize the
opposition so the party in power can have peace.
He
continued that the current crisis rocking the former ruling party was also
caused by western powers who are envious of PDP’s record of governing Nigeria
for 16 uninterrupted years.
The
former minister stated that the forces, who he called enemy outside Nigeria,
believe that leaving the PDP to continue in power after 16 years, will make it
grow into an impossible party which cannot be manipulated.
His
words, “The PDP imbroglio is most unfortunate but it is all within the realm of
politics. If APC finds that they are not performing excellently well and we who
can claim to be experts in running the country for 16 years are now outside
government and we keep criticizing, the best thing is to find a way of disorganising
us and they succeeded in disorganising us.
“And
again our friends, the enemy outside Nigeria who believed that the PDP has
broken such a record in the governance of Nigeria… 16 years uninterrupted… one
political party… it has never happened in Nigeria.
“So
they believed that leaving the PDP to continue in that run, they will end up to
become an impossible party that they cannot manipulate, like the Gulf Party of
the Arabs where they had to destroy Saddam and everybody to disorganize the
region,” the ex-PDP chairman said.
