No Nigerian will vote for PDP in 2015 – ANPP

Struggling All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANNP) has affirmed that from every indication, nobody is ready to vote the Peoples Democratic Party in 2015, adding that the ruling party’s performance had hit an all-time low.

Former national vice-chairman of the party, Mr. Asukewe Iko-Awaji, said that the PDP cannot win in a free and fair election, noting that it had failed to perform to up expectation and should be ready to vacate power in 2015.

“From 1999 to date, it is not difficult to notice that the PDP government has not done well. Nigerians are waiting and given a free and fair election, members of the PDP should forget power.

“Nigeria has witnessed a decline in every sector of the economy and as it is now, there is no Nigerian that would vote for PDP in 2015,” Iko-Awaji noted.

Iko-Awaji called the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister some political parties without significant membership.

The party chieftain noted that most of the political parties are like instruments used by the ruling PDP in manipulating the outcome of elections.

He said, “Over 75 per cent of these ‘portfolio’ political parties are funded by the government in power. When the chips are down, these mushroomy political parties would always adopt the party in power.

“INEC should save itself the headache of the existence of many parties and deregister those without structures on ground. Nigerians need only two political parties to strengthen their democracy.”

Iko-Awaji added that a situation where INEC would have to defend its budget before the National Assembly would continue to threaten the independence of the commission.
