ThankGod Emeh

The blames for the unpalatable developments rocking the frontline opposition party in the country, the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has been heaped chiefly on the National Chairman, Senator Iyorcha Ayu and the National secretary, Samuel Anyanwu among other top ranking officials of the National Working Committee of the party.

According to a clergy man, Pastor Prince-Samuel Ukwu, and a political analyst, Mark Onyemaobi who reacted swiftly and differently on the resignation and withdrawal of Former Anambra state Governor, Peter Obi from the party and from the party presidential primaries fingered all the recurring problems to have emerged from the last National convention of the party.

“All the crisis rocking the PDP today started from the last National convention. How can they make characters like Senators Iyorcha Ayu and Samuel Anyanwu, National chairman and secretary respectively?

They lamented that “the current National working committee of the party is not just clueless but very corrupt and myopic” not to have embraced and equipped their very best products for the main race with other political parties than forcing notable frontline aspirants to leave the party when they are needed most.

They faulted the way and manner in which the primaries of the party are being conducted, adding that the NWC are just playing to the gallery, whims and caprices of some sacred cows.

“They were myopic to have pushed ‘movements’ like Kwankwaso and Peter Obi out of the party”

“The way these primaries are being conducted tells it all. Delegate lists being hijacked and manipulated by a single man who was planted by one South South governor for his over bloated ego and selfish interest”

“Virtually every ticket being “sold” out to the highest bidder leaving no room for competence, loyalty,equity,fairness and capacity.Seems they have now turned the wadata house to a ‘bureau de change’ where dollars are being exchanged”

Pastor Prince added that as it stands now the PDP cannot win the 2023 presidential election no matter who they field, while noting that “This is the glaring truth with Kwankwaso’s cult-like follower-ship in Kano state and the North West, the PDP already lost there by allowing him leave”

“Now they have also pushed Peter Obi out despite his wide spread and ever growing acceptance across Nigeria generally and the South East in particular. From which part of the country will the PDP get block votes to win the presidential election?”

The analyst, Onyemaobi further argued that the South West does not give block votes to any party in presidential elections but always make it a near 50:50 to the two dominant parties.

“Lets even say they decide to give block votes this time,Tinubu and Osinbajo are their sons and are fully incharge there.You can’t expect them to ignore these people for the PDP”

“If the PDP field Wike,the South South region alone cannot guarantee them victory. Besides Peter Obi will also penetrate the South South should he contest the election in another party”

“Atiku cannot even boast of winning his entire North East region let alone the entire North. The PDP won’t even win the entire North Central region alone should they field Saraki. Peter Obi on another platform will also get some votes from there. So I ask again; From which region will the PDP secure block votes needed to win a presidential election?”

“I don’t know the party that will win the 2023 presidential election but I know the party that will not win.The PDP will not win.All thanks to the clueless dollar-seeking National leadership of the party”
