APC No Dey Shake Over PDP Plan Jonathan Return
Di transparent ballot box on top table outside wey dey show electoral symbol for Nigeria politics.
Di All Progressives Congress (APC) don begin dey laugh anyhow as news don dey circulate say di Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dey plan to bring former President Goodluck Jonathan come back as their presidential candidate for di 2027 election. This kind tori fit make person belly shake from laugh, as APC no even dey worried at all.
Some northern big men and politicians wey no too happy with how President Bola Tinubu dey run things for Nigeria now, don dey push say make Jonathan run again. Dem believe say if Jonathan come back, e fit help dem balance di matter wey dey ground. But APC no send dem at all.
APC’s National Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, don open mouth talk for interview say if Jonathan like, make e carry di whole PDP join body, Tinubu no go even need to remove jacket to defeat am. In fact, e say make Jonathan try am if e get mind, APC go make am taste defeat again like bitter leaf.
Ibrahim talk say, “For us to dey talk about 2027 now, na like person wey dey count egg wey never hatch. Less than 40% of di work wey dem give President Tinubu never even start, yet people dey already dey plan next election. APC no even dey shake, not to talk say dem go fear if PDP bring Jonathan come back. Dem forget say na dis same APC beat Jonathan when e still dey power, so na now wey e don dey enjoy retirement dem go fit beat us? Laughable!”
When dem come tell Ibrahim say some political analysts dey believe say na because of former President Muhammadu Buhari cult-like followers dem fit defeat Jonathan for 2015, di man burst laugh like person wey just hear better joke.
He talk say, “No be Buhari followers matter for here o! Na APC party arrangement be di koko. Buhari no run di race as independent candidate; e dey under APC. So, whether Buhari or no Buhari, APC go still beat Jonathan if e try run again. Dis time, na Tinubu dey pilot di ship, and we dey sure say nothing go shake us.”
Di way Ibrahim take dey laugh for di matter, e be like say di plan to bring Jonathan back no be threat at all. He even tell dem say APC no go lose sleep over dis kain thing. “Forget all dis shakara wey dem dey do now,” he talk. “When election time reach, APC go package their candidate well well, serve am give people, and di people go chop am like jollof rice. E too early to dey talk about 2027, but you know as politicians be, dem go wan heat up di matter early so people go dey remember dem.”
He continue, “Politicians sabi how to use style dey put fire for politics so people go dey look their side. But four-year term never even reach half, and people don dey think who dem go bring come next. No wahala, democracy dey give everybody chance to test water, but we go wait till di right time before we go cross dat bridge.”
As e be, APC dey very confident say even if Jonathan come back with full force, e no go fit shake Tinubu. Di confidence wey dem get, e be like say dem don already win di election before di election even start. Dis kain tori fit make person dey wonder if PDP go even get chance to play dis game.
At di end of di day, na democracy we dey practice, and as e be, anybody fit come out to contest. But based on wetin APC talk, dem believe say Tinubu dey stand gidigba like iroko tree, and no Jonathan or any other person fit pull am down.
If you dey wonder how dis news go affect di next election, just know say APC dey ready to defend their territory with all dem might. And if Jonathan try come back, e go meet APC for road, and di outcome go be like say person wey dey drink garri wan use spoon compete with bulldozer.
Na so e be for this news in Nigerian Pidgin, where laughter and fact dey join hand together to give you better gist. Whether Jonathan go run or not, di matter dey hot, but APC dey very sure say dem no go lose dis battle.
