PDP problem is too much talk talk, the same reason you failed in the past elections. God forbid that something like you should face Nigeria again in Jesus name Amen. The only way you're ever smelling that seat again is only if all the present members die off and a new crop of people with credibility, integrity who have love for Nigeria and Nigerians take over, then and only then will it be thought feasible. But before that, God will visit all of you individually and collectively for what you did to Nigeria and Nigerians the same way he visited pharaoh. You will all pay with u our live and the same punishment will be visited up to your 4th generation. You are monsters. Better start returning all your I'll gotten wealth - all of you.GEJ, David mark, Ekweremmadu, Deziani, Patience and every other one of you.
