I’m Disappointed That Obasanjo, Jonathan Are Watching PDP Bleed – Sowunmi by Good01: 10:38pm On Apr 09
A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Segun Sowunmi, says he is disappointed that some of the founding fathers of the party are watching on while the party bleeds.

Sowunmi, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday, said he expects former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan to have stepped in and resolved the protracted conflict that has plagued the party before the 2023 elections.

Recently, certain members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) within the House of Representatives have demanded the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Umar Damagum, alleging his allegiance to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Spearheaded by Ikenga UgoChinyere and comprising around “60 lawmakers,” they questioned the party leadership’s silence on the political developments in Rivers State, particularly criticizing their inaction while President Bola Tinubu intervened.

Sowunmi attributed the agitation for Damagum’s resignation and other internal discord within the party leadership to what he referred to as the “Wike problem.”

The ex-Ogun PDP governorship aspirant lamented that the PDP had previously dealt with the challenges posed by the then Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, before the last general elections, yet similar issues persist even a year after the polls.

Expressing regret, the PDP stalwart noted that the internal conflicts within the party have endured beyond the 2023 presidential election.

Sowunmi emphasized that it’s crucial for the founding fathers of the party to intervene and facilitate reconciliation among conflicting party members to strengthen and solidify the achievements of the party.

“A 25-year-old institution is supposed to be one of the legacies that one of the most populous black nations will tell the world that we can also run this thing,” he said.

“I’m disappointed that the founding fathers, the Jonathans of this world, the Obasanjos of this world and co, I am disappointed that they are looking at the platform that gave them the opportunity to lead, I am disappointed that they are looking it bleed.”

Obasanjo is 87years old...

And retired from active politics. The man even tore his membership card.

Free the old man to enjoy his days in peace!

Fools!

PDP can rot away for all I care.

When Obasanjo advised you fools to give your ticket to Peter Obi, did you listen to him?

You ignored his counsel then, why should he care to volunteer his counsel again?

Get lost you fools!

Ndi ala!

When some members of Rivers state assembly decamped to APC citing crisis in PDP, I thought some people were denying there was crisis or division in PDP. 60 members of PDP in National Assembly have also threatened to resign their membership. All these hullabaloo would strengthen the case of APC Rivers state assembly members in court.

When Okowa and Tambuwal sat back and allowed Atiku become the presidential candidate in 2023 as against the agreement the sountern governors had in Okowa's residence months before, it was fine and okay right?

There is nothing they can do, except the former forces of PDP in APC returns back to PDP. Only then will there be alignment.

This is what you get when idi!ots sacrificed their collective future due to individual interests.

In 2014, some persons needed to make concessions one way or the other for the party to maintain its cohesiveness and deter bigots like Buhari and criminals like Tinubu from ever tasting power. But No.

First, the Otuoke imbec!le refusing to heed to his promise of just “one term”.

Then the Dubai merchant Atiku do or die stance of “if it is not me then let the party crumble”

If PDP resolved its internal problems then, we wouldn’t be here today.

Look at Atiku, Saraki and other nPDP members today? They are like almajiris in the debate of power. State ooooh, Ooooin, National ooooo Ooooin.

Good luck to them thinking Emilokan would ever relinquish powers to them.

This is not crises that has two executives, so you are justifying the decamping of Wike loyalists to APC, those ones have killed their political career for Wike. Very soon the courts will declare their seats vacant, you will remember this thread

You're right but don't forget his age? So ou can't expect him to keep practicing partisan politics
If Obj and GEJ intervene and found you guilty, will you allowed to be sanctioned.
Instead of you to call on your members who have strongly benefited from the party but are now found in other party cos of their insatiable thirst for money to come back home and found lasting peace for your party, you're calling on a take off train to reverse
