Corruption is widespread, and PDP politicians have been unable to deliver the prosperity and improved social services that Nigerians looked forward to following the return of democracy. Indeed, the PDP has been able to retain power only by rigging successive elections, most spectacularly in 2007, when the outgoing Obasanjo foisted Yar’Adua on the party hierarchy.
要真的是这样，那将对人民民主党和这个国家产生深远的影响。自1999年军事独裁结束后，人民民主党开始执政，却无法赢得大多数人的认可。在民主回归之后，随之而来的却是腐败蔓延，人民民主党的政治家无力给人民带来期望的国家繁荣和社会福利。
