PDP
He recently had his say during a programme on Channels Television, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, he resigned because the leadership crisis at the party’s national headquarters is a major source of embarrassment, and the crisis at both the national and state levels are very damaging to the PDP’s public image.
He added that a political party cannot exist in isolation, and if the same toxicity remains within its circle, the same problems will persist.
His words, “Who goes around proudly identifying as a PDP member with all that is happening at both the national and state levels? The optics are bad.
Even the party has given up on itself. A political party is made up of people who come together to form it — it doesn’t exist in isolation.
If the same toxicity remains within that circle, the same problems will persist. Today, the party is controlled by those who worked against it. So where do we even begin? And we are heading into another election cycle.
This is 2025. Congresses and other processes will begin soon. By 2026, there will be primary elections, yet the same individuals are still in charge of the party. And people expect a different outcome? No, it won’t happen.”
On what next, “There are 18 political parties in Nigeria, so there are 17 other options. But we can’t just jump in — we will consult and evaluate our options.
There are ongoing coalitions, people coming together to form alliances, so I truly don’t know where I’m headed yet, but discussions are ongoing.
Wherever we end up, we will respect the people there and abide by the rules of the game.
This is the path we have chosen, and we will stay on it. Only God can determine the outcome.”
WOW.
