Adolphus Wabara, others dug PDP’s grave – Osita Okechukwu
He was speaking in response to Senator Adolphus Wabara, the leader of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a former Senate President and Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT).
Osita Okechukwu, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), argued that the turmoil within the party was the fault of PDP leaders.
This was said by Okechukwu in a statement that was provided to reporters on Sunday.
He was speaking in response to Senator Adolphus Wabara, the leader of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a former Senate President and Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT).
Remember that the chairman of the PDP BoT had sworn to fiercely oppose any attempt by the ruling APC to create a one-party state in Nigeria.
Wabara made his statement in the wake of numerous resignations from positions including Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Chuka Odom, and former Governor of Imo State, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha.
kechukwu said the blame game dished out to the APC by “Senator Wabara and Co who dug the grave of the PDP is misplaced in all materials particular”.
He said, “as long as the nemesis of Wabara and Co’s deliberate crass breach of presidential rotation convention between north and south, albeit PDP’s Constitution; Obi’s Labour Party, Kwankwaso’s NNPP;
“…. and Wike’s Masquerade are alive and breathing, with open arms admitting defector-exits from PDP, there is no valid fear of one party state in Nigeria.”
Okechukwu maintained that the blame game from the BoT Chairman is no solution provider, “therefore PDP should earnestly introspect on how best to pick the pieces of the party that is dangerously sinking.”
He said, “instead of careful introspection of its bleeding ailments and how to fix Obi and Kwankwaso’s exit and its troubled Wike’s Masquerade, plus imbibing the best tenets of internal democracy devoid of breach of the zoning convention, extant laws, planlessness and squandermania, the PDP most times arrogantly hauled unnecessary blame game on the APC.
“My understanding from our elder statesman’s vituperation is that PDP may not even recover in August after the ward, LGA, and State congresses and national convention, when they failed ab initio to embark on careful introspection to examine the root causes of Obi and Kwankwaso’s exit, especially Wike’s Masquerade which led a party that boasted of 60 years uninterrupted reign to woeful failure in 2023 presidential election.
“Truly PDP needs soul searching to make amends, rather than sweeping its troubled faction under the carpet.”
