PDP Is Dead - Nasarawa Governor Al-Makura

Nasarawa State Governor, Umaru Al-Makura, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was no longer a force to reckon with in Nigeria.

In his opinion, by 2015, there would me no mention of the ruling party in governance and Nigeria’s political sphere.
Speaking with the newsmen in Lafia on Sunday, Al-Makura declared that the PDP will soon fizzle out with the defection of some of its members in the state to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
"At the national level, PDP is gone. So what is there to worry about PDP; it is a spent force. I don’t think it exists," he said.
On the strength of the party in his state, he assured "that by 2015, PDP in Nasarawa will become history. I hope you are aware that Senator Abdullahi Adamu and nPDP are all in APC, where then is the PDP in Nasarawa State?"
Commenting on the reports that members of his cabinet may defect to the ruling party, Al-Makura said,
"There is nothing like defection in my cabinet; it is wishful thinking of the PDP. If anything, APC is getting stronger by the day as PDP is sinking in the state."
