Go, Tell the Hyenas and the Jackals that PDP is Back

Following victory of the Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee of the country's main opposition party, the People's Democratic Party, PDP, at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, July 12, 2017, a member of the party and one of the most consistent and prominent critics of the Buhari-led APC administration, Jude Ndukwe, took to his Facebook page to celebrate the victory with a powerful, emotional, yet, inspirational poem full of biblical metaphors.

While the poem eulogised all those who had carried on the functions of an opposition party even as individuals despite the many inconveniences associated with such a venture using biblical champions as metaphors for them as the case lasted, Ndukwe ended up predicting "that faith will replace fear, and rejoicing will replace weeping, (and) that justice and peace shall reign again in the land (since) Nigeria will rise again, because PDP is back, (and) power returns to the people"

Below is the poem in full: PDP: GO, TELL THEM Go, tell them That for every lion there's a Samson For every bear, there's a David. Let them know that For every Pharaoh, there's a Moses For every famine, there's a Joseph Go into the Rock Tell them That for every broken wall of our nation There's a Nehemiah For every wickedness, there's an Esther Let them know that for every Red Sea There's a rod For every lion in the den There's a Daniel Go, tell them. Let them know That for every prophet of Baal There's an Elijah And for every Judas there are eleven others Go, tell them, let them know That there are still many prophets of The Living God who haven't And will never bow to Baal Go, run quickly, tell the lion king That Elisha is around And that Joshua is ready Fully apparelled for battle To take the nation back to the people The people of God Go, tell the hyenas and the jackals Those who called their citizens dogs and baboons That about this time in 2019 'A seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Nigeria."

Tell them that faith will replace fear And rejoicing will replace weeping That justice and peace shall reign again in the land.

You, yes, you, just go, go and tell them That come 2019, Nigeria will rise again Because PDP is back, power returns to the people.
