With the victory recorded in the FCT Council elections last Saturday by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Nigerians are definitely hungry for the return of the party to power at the centre come 2023.
This is the submission of a PDP chieftain in Delta State, Chief Sunny Onuesoke during a chat with journalists in Warri on Friday.
He said the sweeping victory of PDP in the three strategic Abuja Area Councils was a clear demonstration of the determination by Nigerians to return PDP to power in 2023.
Onuesoke, who said he was on ground in FCT for four days to personally monitor the election, stated that he was very impressed with the interest FCT electorate placed on PDP during the conduct of the election.
He stated that the victory at the FCT polls of Saturday, February 12, 2022, represented a good omen for PDP as it would lead the party back to winning ways and rebuilding of Nigeria.
“I was not surprise of the performance of PDP candidates in the FCT election because I was on ground and saw the determination of the electorates to vote enmass for PDP because they were totally fed up with the ruling party,” he stated.
The PDP Chieftain observed that the rejection of APC in the three area councils represented the aspiration of Nigerians in the national consensus to do away with the party and return the PDP to power at the centre in 2023.
It will be recalled that official figures showed that the PDP won more councillorship seats, leading the APC with cumulative 44 councillorship seats as against APC’s 18 seats.
Onuesoke noted that the victory, which gave PDP the important Abuja Municipal Area Council, was a signal that Nigerians were tired of the woes and hardship of the moment, occasioned by the worsening socio-economic realities of today.
He, therefore, expresses optimism that the victory of PDP in FCT Council elections would be replicated in Ekiti and Osun State later in the year, culminating in the party taking over power at the centre next year to usher in a better, more prosperous and secure Nigeria.
