Things are not the same any more for the ruling PDP and it appears the party is sinking dipper. In fact, it was a grim verdict on Thursday on the dwindling fate of the Peoples Democratic Party by one of its governors.
“We are today witnessing the de-construction of what appears to be the final collapse of our dear party, the PDP, under the inept and imbecile National Working Committee (NWC) led by Bamanga Tukur… I am short of words to express my pain. It is agonising to see the party built in every home, in every village, town and cities all over Nigeria with lots of sacrifice being destroyed.”
These are the words of Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, who said the is dead, waiting to be buried.
Lamido, one of the founding fathers of PDP in 1998, was one of the G7 aggrieved governors who challenged the leadership of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur and joined the Kawu Baraje-led New PDP.
Five of the governors – Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano) and Abdultfatah Ahmed (Kwara) – have already defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Governor Lamido had said he would not leave PDP because doing so is like leaving a house he built, but with the latest development in the troubled party, especially the defection on Wednesday of 37 Reps members to the APC, he is now reviewing his decision.
Urging President Goodluck to take action before it is too late, Governor Lamido said: “Is it too late for the ‘leader’ of the party to intervene and save our party? Nigeria’s democracy must not be truncated”.
A source told OluFamous.Com that Atiku Abubakar and five PDP governors will be joining APC soon.
