A spokesperson for ex-President Goodluck Jonathan,
Doyin Okupe, says the choice of a former governor of
Borno State, Modu Sheriff, as the acting national
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party is wrong.
Okupe said it was unfortunate that the PDP was in the
habit of making grave errors in its choice of
leadership.
He said with the emergence of Sheriff as the national
chairman of the PDP, the opposition party risked total
disintegration.
In an article published on his official Facebook page on
Wednesday, he said although Sheriff was his long-
standing political associate, the former governor
lacked the capability to hold the party together.
Okupe said, “Some of us have vowed not to leave the
party (PDP). We still will not leave the party. We will
continue to engage all who care to listen and seek
help from everyone ready to revive this severely
challenged sickened giant.
“For a morose political party, thanks to the
overwhelming and effective propaganda machinery of
the party in power, this may yet be the mortal wound
that may cause the eventual depletion of its long
perplexed following.
“But if it is the divine will of God that our present
masters must kill the PDP, then by the grace of God,
we shall yet tarry at the graveside to bid it farewell.”
He lamented that making wrong judgments had
become a trait of the party.
“The capability of our party, the PDP, and its
leadership to make grave errors in judgment is
legendary. What is intriguing is that even when the
party is out of power, that tendency seems not to
reduce.
“Alhaji Sheriff is a long-standing political associate of
mine and a very astute politician of, perhaps, a sublime
class. But for the post of the national chairman of the
PDP, he is a wrong candidate and (he is) also coming
in at a wrong time,” he said.
Okupe said with the crisis rocking the PDP, the
emergence of Sheriff might deplete the membership
base of the opposition party.
The former presidential spokesperson listed impunity,
presumptive reasoning, restrictive consultative process
as the ‘diseases’ killing the PDP.
Okupe said the PDP leaders who supported the
emergence of Sheriff hinged their argument on the
fact that, being a wealthy politician, he (Sheriff) would
be favourably disposed to fund the activities of the
party.
He, however, said other leaders within the party felt
that Sheriff would compound the problems of the party
and bring ‘a crushing weight of burden capable of
fatally destroying the few strands of moral fibres in the
party’.
