Caretaker Committee list: Raging battle for soul of PDP continues

The National Working Committee, NWC, of the PDP last week, released a list of caretaker committees for most of the 36 states of the federation after some pressure from stakeholders.

He has told all those who care to listen to that as far as he was concerned, the list as released by the NWC for Rivers “cannot stand.” “This extension is not meant to bring in new names, the extension also did not say that you are working without the authority of the governor. Before this time, the party dominated the political landscape like a colossus for 16 unbroken years at a point boasting it would rule for 100 years.

While a powerful president can, to a large extent, control the power strings at the federal level, he needs the support and loyalty of equally powerful governors who control the states, local governments and wards to be effective. A senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science, University of Jos, Dr. Joseph Anuga, said, “In Liberal democracies such as the American style we are trying to copy, you can’t have control outside of the established structure.

Speaking in a similar vein, an Abuja-based political analyst, Auwual Musa, explained that while the struggle for dominance among contending interests within a political party system is part of the game, the brazen manner in which our politicians go about it calls for concern.
