However, Okechukwu, in a statement made available to DAILY
POST on Sunday, stated that 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 maintained that “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 that “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.”
