The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday, celebrated its 25th year of existence and declared that the 16 years the party was in power were the golden years for Nigeria and Nigerians.
In a statement in Abuja to mark the anniversary, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, said the party decided on a low key celebration as there was nothing to rejoice about as, according to him, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), had “frittered away all the progress the PDP made in 16 years within 8 years.”
“Today, the PDP celebrates the resilience of Nigerians in the democratic process and particularly the founding leaders and teeming members of our Party for their sacrificial roles in returning, nurturing and sustaining democracy in our country,” part of the statement reads.
