The party’National Executive Council (NEC) and National Working Committee (NWC) were dissolved on Saturday and the committee headed by a former governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi, set up.

???… This PDP is in a real mess, truth be told.
I’m sure, though, that the party still has in its midst some incurable optimists… In the meantime, people like Femi Fani-Kayode appear to have heaved a sigh of relief too soon that Sherif was gotten rid of. Hehehe.
What I do know, is that, the PDP – as a group of people – cannot keep doing the same things over and over, and expect a different result.
Hmm.
