A former member of the Anambra State House of Assembly(1999-2003)on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief George Ike Okoye, has warned the leadership of PDP not to allow the party to die because of personal ambitions of its members.
Okoye, an Architect, said it would be unfortunate for PDP, which is the main opposition party in Nigeria, to fizzle out at a time most Nigerians are clamouring for better governance.
He urged the leadership of the party to sit down and restructure the party for a better Nigeria, rather than jumping into the so- called new mega party.
He said: “The leaders of the party are complacent; they are just engaging in rigmarole, looking for direction. A mega party cannot work in Nigeria of today and the only thing the PDP needs now is to resolve its leadership challenges."
“If the government does the right thing, commend it and criticize it when it does the wrong thing.We have a president today in Nigeria and I don’t think Bola Ahmed Tinubu is bad."
"I am impressed by his performance so far, but PDP can provide a better alternative. The problem with PDP is credible leadership and once there is a credible leadership, every other thing will fall in place."
"PDP must democratize the process of who become what in the party. Why can’t the leadership emerge through a normal process that is acceptable to all?
"PDP should work on its internal democracy and come out with a credible leadership”.
