The Senator Ahmed Makarfi led Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said Nigerians who voted for the All Progressives Congress (APC) are now regretting their decision.
Speaking at an event in Abuja on Wednesday, Makarfi said that these Nigerians are eagerly waiting for 2019 elections, in order to right their wrongs.
According to him, such persons had been apologizing for voting out the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2015.

He however noted that Nigerians had another opportunity to vote the PDP back in power in 2019, noting that PDP was rebranding and re-strategising.
He said: “it is only the judgment in Port Harcourt we are waiting for and we are praying for a fair judgment that will revive the hope of the people.
“Justice should be done and seen to be done in a manner that the whole world will see that the judiciary is doing the right thing.
“If you eliminate or encumber the opposition, nobody will be safe. It is for the interest of Nigeria that there is opposition.

“Some people are already apologising for voting us out of office, but we are telling them to vote for us again.”
Meanwhile, the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has failed Nigerians, hence he will be defeated if he decides to run for presidency again.
The governor who made the statement in Ado-Ekiti during an interactive session with some journalists, said, “Nigeria of our dream is not what we see now. What I said about President Buhari are coming to pass. Before the polls, I said people should not vote for him. Nigerians are hungry and they are regretting. If a nobody contests against Buhari in 2019, Buhari will lose. Nigerians don’t need counselling to know that they should not vote Buhari in 2019. It is obvious.
“Majority of those who voted for him never really knew him as they were mostly in their 40s, people who were toddlers when he ruled Nigeria as a military man in the 80s. Also, he is vindictive and apart from military nature, he does not have what it takes to run Nigeira. His government then was run by Idiagbon.
“He is also not tolerant. You can’t compare him with Dr Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan accepted defeat in an election he conducted,” he stated.
