examines the unending disagreement between the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party and the aggrieved G-5 governors that may likely affect the party’s fortunes in the forthcoming general elections
The Bala Mohammed-led committee in its report advocated an open presidential ticket in 2023 despite admitting that the vast majority of party stakeholders it consulted in the course of its assignment made a case for the South-East and North-East geo-political zones.
Again, allegations of financial recklessness were levelled against the former Senate President, even as six members of the National Working Committee loyal to Wike refunded their share of the controversial housing allowances to the party’s coffer. However, Ayu appears not to be worried having survived every attempt thus far aimed at removing him from office.
On his part, the PDP Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, said the electoral loss the party might suffer would pales into insignificance compared to the damage the Wike-led group had done to their individual and collective image as political leaders. Osadolor, who never keeps sealed lips on matters concerning the PDP, argued that having elected to betray their party, Wike and his colleagues would struggle to win the confidence of other political stakeholders in the future.
On what awaits the group in the future, Osadolor stressed, “As statesmen, I am sure they know that what they are doing now is going to backfire on them because it will be a referendum on themselves going forward. What they are doing now is the height of anti-party activity and they know it. Anyone who does this kind of thing because Mr. A is at the helm of affairs will do it again and again regardless of the party he finds himself tomorrow.
Faulting Ibrahim Tsauri, a member of the National Executive Committee of the PDP who recently told The PUNCH that the aggrieved governors’ demand was difficult to resolve given the closeness of the 2023 elections, George said 24 hours was more than enough to fix the problems currently bedevilling the party.
He continued, “I was one of those who begged that every zone should be allowed to contest the position of the national chairman because six months ago, they did not announce the zoning of the elective offices. But Ayu came out to say, ‘give it to me,’ saying that if a presidential candidate emerged from the North, he would go. So, why is he still sitting down there?”
No joy at all. Youth prayers is working
