Causes Of Current PDP Crises

STEVE NWABUKO

 

1- Willful truncation of Party constitution on Zoning.

 

2- Hijack of Party structures by returnee n-PDP conspirators led by Atiku, Tambuwal and Saraki.

 

3- Lack of internal democracy by insisting that North will hold on to Chairmanship and Presidential ticket at the detriment of the South.

 

4- Manipulated Presidential Primaries by a biased party chairman in Iyorchia Ayu stating that Tambuwal was the hero of the *Presidential primaries coup* because he withdrew from the race, and ceded his supporters to Atiku.

 

5- Failure of PDP disciplinary committee in allowing returnee n-PDP conspirators to participate in elective positions after decamping and working against PDP in 2015 elections, constitutes anti party activities now rewarded with party elective tickets.

 

6- Arrogance of former Northern Governors like:
Sule Lamido.
Makarfi.
Babangida Aliyu.
In constituting themselves as the new PDP power cabal even when they worked against the party in 2015.

 

7- Non appreciation of Governor Wike, who singlehandedly funded and steered PDP back to life and prominence, only for Northern PDP hawks to return to dictate to Wike.

 

8- Atiku Abubakar’s flouting of Section 7:3c of the PDP constitution is the foundation of today’s PDP crises.

 

9- For Atiku Abubakar to refer to the PDP constitution as means by which Ayu’s stay or vacation from office should be handled, is discriminatory to the same process that gave Atiku Abubakar the Presidential ticket by flawed process.

 

The PDP crises has opened up the power tussle between the South and North of Nigeria exercebated by trickery, grandstanding, gridlock, conspiracies, arrogance, espionage and isolationism.

 

As the South cries foul play and the North exudes in triumphalism, PDP is on way to self destruct and never to emerge from its throes of self inflicted treachery.

 

The race is narrowing down between the Labour Party and the APC because, strictly speaking, it is the turn of the South to produce Nigeria’s next President in 2023.

 

The fight is now beyond massaging the ambition and grief of Atiku and Wike, to the fact that Nigeria is not ready for another Fulani President after President Buhari’s eight years tenure in 2023.

 

The political dynamics of Nigeria have changed and the current narrative is:*TAKE BACK Nigeria (T.B.N).*
