PDP not Invisible Afterall – Giwa-Amu

 Published on March 9th, 2010

Against the back drop of the myth woven around the ruling party the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and their recent defeats in Edo, Ondo, Anambra, Lagos based lawyer and Human Rights Activist Chief Gabriel Giwa-Amu has said the acclaimed invisibility is all ruse. 
 
He was reacting to the landslide victory of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the recent concluded Anambra State Governorship election inspite of the huge funds alleged to have been committed by the People Democratic Party to intimidate the electorate, who rather than
succumbed,  looked somewhere else.

Thanking Anambarians for towing the path of honour by voting for the incumbent governor, Peter Obi, he said with their singular action, a frame work has been hacked out for what will eventually take place in 2011. 

Wondering why most politicians in Nigeria think they could eat their cake and have it, he cautioned those who think it is business as usual to get ready to vacate their respective position as shock surprises the PDP experienced in Anambra concluded election will be their lot. 

“Let all those who claimed to be politicians know that the docility and gullibility they had perceived and capitalized upon to undo the voting public has dissipated, the people have now resolved to take the gauntlet and have a say in the decision as it concern their destiny”, he said.   

In another development, the fiery lawyer gave thumbs-up to the Senate for having the courage to now empower the Vice-President who will now act as acting-President, pending the resumption in office of the ailing President Yar’adua. 

“Though their actions could be said to be belated, it is however something of delight that they have now found reasons to act in the manner of civilized society. We hope the new helms man gives the nation the desired life it has been denied off for several months he said.”
