Former Spokesperson of former President Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, says the
appointment of Ali Modu Sheriff as PDP Chairman is wrong and also coming
at a wrong time. He shared his thoughts on his Facebook wall yesterday.
What he wrote below ...
"The capability of our party, the pdp and its leadership to make grave
errors of judgement is legendary. What is intriguing is that even out of
power that tendency seems unabating.
Alhadji Ali Sheriff is a longstanding political associate of mine and a
very adroit and astute politician of perhaps a sublime class.
But for the post of the National chairman of the Pdp,
He is a wrong candidate and also coming in at a wrong time.
According to many of his proponents, his strong point is that being a
man of great financial resources he will be favourably disposed to
funding the activities of the party easily. But the antagonists believe
that he is bringing along with his wealth a crushing weight of burden
capable of fatally destroying the few strands of moral fibers on which a
rejuvenation will depend on.
For a morosed and severely prostrate political party,thanks to the
overwhelming and effective propaganda machinery of the (opposition)
party in power, this may yet be the mortal wound that may cause the
eventual heamorrage of its long perplexed followership.
The present crop of leadership of the pdp have not faired well.
Impunity, presumptive reasoning, highly stratified and restrictive
consultative processes, absolute lack of inclusiveness, mercantilism,
group conceit with a resultant total disconnect with the main stake
holders and the followership are some of the florrid signs and symptoms
of the terminal disease that is killing this erstwhile great party.
Some of us have vowed not to leave the party. We still will not leave
the party. Better still in spite of the present situation of things we
will continue to engage all who care to listen and deepen consultation
across the country seeking help from everyone ready to help to revive
this severely challenged sickened giant.
But if it is the divine will of God that our present masters must kill
PDP, then by the Grace of God we shall yet tarry at the graveside to bid
it farewell."
