You are a Buhari whipping boy, PDP Chieftain mocks Akpodoro

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta State, Chief Ashibudike Emete has described ex-militant leader, Eshanekpe Israel, a.k.a Akpodoro, as a Buhari whipping boy. 

The Ndokwa - born politician predicated his mockery on what he called the hard heartedness of the former warlord in his anti PDP activities since 2014 till date in favour of the then General now President Buhari.

Emete stated further that such vainful efforts could only be found in Akpodoro who he noted worked in vain for an ethnocentric ruler like Buhari and his All Progressives Congress, APC, saying, such ingratitude meted out to Akpodoro and his group, the National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators, NCNDE-A could only be found in the APC. 

According to him, prior the 2015 elections, the PDP in Delta State called for the support of all ex-militants in the Niger Delta region but his consternation, Akpodoro created a splinter group named NCNDE-A to support the Hausa Fulani -Buhari against his own kinsman, former President Goodluck Jonathan, only for his start running from pillar to post for engagement by a “dictatorial regime” for patronage. 

“We told him then that the today President was using them as Canon folders against their own people but he, Akpodoro didn't listen and today we are happy to see those disgruntled elements lament on the pages of the newspapers for attention of the government we saw them lanour for.”

The politician averred that but for God the PDP would have being in extinction noting that God arrested Buhari's conscience to make wrong appointments in the Niger Delta region to favour the umbrella party. The PDP he noted will bounce back to power in 2019 as he expressed the hope that the party will then be stronger, reliable and better for all Nigerian adding that the party was going through its trying period a fact he said Nigerians are in solidarity with. 

“Akpodoro will lick his wound for a long time to come because he is aware now that he only worked in futility for Buhari. PDP rewards its youth while APC abandon its own. Our party spread wealth while the Broom party spread poverty and despondency. APC duped Nigerians and today the people are worse for it and am sure those like Akpodoro will listen when next we call them. Anyway, our doors are opened to all and sundry including those the APC has jilted including Akpodoro. Next time he would know that only your brother can plead your course and not a recalcitrant Uthman Danfodio tribe whose hallmark is tribalism and nepotism. They are political racketeers whose were being undeservedly patronized by their despotic brother," Emete stated.
