PDP:DARKNESS TO THE POEPLE

A few weeks ago I was busy listening to the news when I heard a jingle from the People Democratic Party's (PDP) presidential candidate Umar Musa Yar'dua. Although I have heard the jingle several times before I never realized its true meaning until two weeks ago.

The comment in the jingle that caught my attention the most was what the jingle called the "Yar'dua plan". One of the plans according to the jingle is "to keep our light bulbs on". This particular plan struck a cord in my ear.The question I asked is, what light are they promising to keep on?

At the present rate of power supply (3 hours of power supply in 2 days) one would expect the 'Yar'dua plan' to be the boasting of power supply rather than simply keeping it on.

I was still thinking over this issues in my mind when I heard the PDP slogan "PDP: power to the people".

The big question is how is it that a political party that has 'Power to the people' as its slogan ruled the people for eight years and yet gave the people nothing but darkness?

I urge all Nigerians to use their votes wisely.
