PDP CRISIS AND THE STRUGGLE FOR NATIONAL LEADERSHIP OF PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY: NORTHERN GROUP REJECTS ATIKU ABUBARKAR ENDORSES NYESOM WIKE AS NATIONAL LEADER OF PARTY
The attention of the AREWA PDP TRANSPARENCY GROUP has been drawn to several media publications about who becomes the National Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to champion the state of affairs of the Party in the forthcoming National Executive Council Meeting and beyond.
Leadership means care, concern and responsibility. It is not self serving, not periodic and not spontaneous. The PDP as the biggest opposition party in Africa has suffered a lot of Leadership Crises which resulted in its loss of Power at the National Level from 2015 till date.
These Crises are largely self inflicted due to insensitivity, lack of political vision, lack of care, concern and respect for the Vision of the Founding Fathers of the Party, and for the yearnings and aspirations of the Nigerian Citizenry. Charity, they say, begins at home. A Party whose Leadership cannot take care of it's own and showing good leadership definitely cannot take care of Nigeria and offer good Leadership.
We wish to particularly bring to the attention of the Leadership of the Party that the Fears by some PDP Leaders about His Excellency, Chief Barr. E. N. Wike's appointment in an APC Government is born out of jealousy, hate, bitterness, bias and their blindness to the political reality that the failure by the PDP to ensure power rotation to the South led to its loss of power at the centre. If such fears are genuine as they claim, why was the PDP still able to win Governorship and other elections in States across the Nation?
We the AREWA PDP TRANSPARENCY GROUP having assessed the performances of these Leaders say "NO" in strong terms to Self Serving Leadership ONLY at times of political interest, Non-inclusivity, Lack of concern, sustenance and responsibility in the management of the affairs of the Peoples Democratic Party and hereby endorse His Excellency, Chief Barr. Ezebuwon Nyesom Wike, CON, GSSRS, POS Africa and Life Bencher as the National Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party.
