Ndume said PDP have the yahoo-yahoo boys as their loyal, adding that they are the ones that have ‘puppy’. By this saying, the lawmaker is perceived to mean HushPuppi.
Politic Nigeria quoted Ndume saying: “This electronic voting they are talking about, I think it’s PDP’s idea to rig the election because they are the ones that have the Yahoo-Yahoo boys, they are the ones that have ‘puppy’.
“These are the people otherwise I don’t see any reason for the cry out on this matter”.
“The truth of the matter is that we had 6 elections in this country and the one that was administered under the government of APC was adjudged to be very credible where you saw opposition winning elections under a sitting government. That was not the case during the PDP”.
