PDP: A Dead End Party

We need to be serious in Nigeria! What is it with our political class? The daily rantings via the media space on mundane issues is really driving Nigerians to the edge. Is it not enough that the PDP completely destroyed Nigeria's economy after sixteen years of pillaging and looting? What moral standing does the PDP have to criticise President Buhari's five months reign? A party that said "stealing is not corruption", is the same party that now lambasts the President for stating the obvious fact that Nigeria is broke.

Excuse me! Is it that the grieving members of the drowning PDP still believe that we are all suffering from some form of amnesia? Is this not the same PDP that supervised the highest employment fraud in the history of the world? Have we forgotten so soon how unemployed graduates were forced to pay a "fee" for employment by the Federal Government of Nigeria? In a sham called employment recruitment exercise, NIS illegally raked N6billion from the applicants as processing fee.

The Nigerian Immigration Service under the PDP administration sold 125,000 employment forms at the rate of N1,000 each to poor unemployed Nigerian graduates. The most painful part of the whole scam is that only 4,500 job placements were actually available. Can you beat that? In Lagos and Abuja alone, 56,000 and 69,000 applicants respectively sat for the job test.

While scrambling for employment forms, a total of 16 Nigerian citizens died in several stampedes which ensued from overcrowding. More deaths were also recorded at the Port Harcourt, Minna, Benin-City, NIS Employment Recruitment Centres, respectively. Over 50 people with life threatening injuries were hospitalised across Nigeria on that same day.

In this era of social media, is the PDP not aware that the International Community silently watched that wicked drama all along, and not a single person was punished or even questioned by the then PDP controlled Nigerian Government, for the above crimes against humanity? Someone should please remind Oliseh Metuh, that indeed his party had already demarketed Nigeria after sixteen years of reckless and rudderless style of leadership.

Metuh, must understand that the President of this present day Nigeria, does not need any moral or economic lesson from a party that stole our country dry. PDP should be more concerned with the fading lights in its dead end party.
