SURVEY: PDP controls the Buhari/APC govt. Do you agree?
On October, 28, a close ally of President Muhammadu Buhari and Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Hammed Ali, reportedly said, “Today, with all sense of responsibility, I want to say that we have 50 per cent of (defectors from the) PDP in our government. How can we move forward with this load? How can we achieve our target with this load? It is a spoilt system and so when you come in, you shake off everybody and bring in your own. That is what democracy is all about.”
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has since dismissed Ali’s comments as not representative of the party’s position while the PDP has accused him of talking “rubbish”.
Do you agree with Hameed Ali that the opposition PDP has hijacked the Buhari administration. Kindly vote ‘YES’ or ‘NO’.

this is true, most of the people who crossed carpet from PDP to APC still have a say in Buhari’s government in one way or the other.

It is a little bit ridiculous to say PDP is in control of Buhari’s government because somebody politicians joined the party for APC. What we’re seeing in Nigeria today I sent 100% APC

Those who moved to APC from PDP have influence on the present government and majority of the influential APC politicians are also from PDP, so what are you saying? This government is also as corrupt as the previous PDP government because of the influence of the political prostitutes.

I’ve not really seen any difference between this government and the previous administration, it’s just like we are having the same set of people ruling us over in this country
