PDP wants Trump to show greater interest in democratic dev in Nigeria
As the US President-elect, Mr. Donald Trump, is inaugurated as the 45th President today, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed the hope that he will show enourmous interest in the development of democracy in Nigeria and Africa in general.
The opposition PDP also wants Mr. Trump to be interested in Nigeria’s economic development.
The Party said this yesterday in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye.
The PDP said it believes that Mr Trump can contribute immensely in rescuing Africa from leaders with dictatorial tendencies.
The party stressed that it is looking forward to quality relationship with Trump, his Party, the Republican and the American people in general.
The statement reads, “The National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, CON, on behalf of all the Organs of the Party warmly
congratulates the 45th President of the United States of America, Mr. Donald Trump.
“His victory at the Election and subsequent Inauguration today as the President of America has demonstrated that courage, dedication and doggedness pay in the end.
“We salute the American people for making the right choice; and believe that he will take America to greater heights given his success in business.
“We, the PDP family admire President Trump as a great leader and hope he will show enormous interest in the development of democracy in Nigeria and Africa in general as well as Nigeria’s economic development.
“The PDP nurtured democracy in Nigeria from 1999 – 2015, the longest in the democratic dispensation since her Independence in 1960. “However, the current situation in Nigeria is a complete reversal of all the achievements of the PDP.
“To this end, we are looking forward to quality relationship with you, Mr. President, your Party, the Republican and the American people in general.
“We believe that you can contribute immensely in rescuing Africa from leaders with dictatorial tendencies”, the statement concluded.
