Is Godfatherism Dieing In PDP, While Being Born In APC? by Dewze(m): 12:38pm On Feb 16, 2015
I ask this question because of the happenings recently. It seems most of the so called godfathers in the PDP that have held the country in a political choke hold all these years are gradually being phased out of that party, taking Obasanjo's recent exit (if this is really true) as a case point. Also considering men like Tinubu, Atiku, and now Obasanjo as their main driver in the APC ...I mean, these men are the godfathers of godfatherism. I might be wrong about this but I think it is worth analysing.
If this is true, does this mean a New PDP is being born under GEJ?

No.

Look at all all the primary elections held for various states by the PDP, they were fraught with irregularities and by handpicking of the presidency.

That's why people like Obanikoro, Maku etc. became disenfranchised.

Compare that with primaries of their main opposition - APC.

Godfatherism is well and truly a PDP culture which they've found difficult to eschew.

The newest dimension is even godmotherism which Mama Peace as fully embraced . She's an exponent of this term a toga she even wears with pride.

it's 100% dead in PDP. We saw the people that were dependent on it (Chris Uba, Charles Soludo, Fani Kayode) meet extreme frustration in the PDP primaries a few years ago because they no longer had their 'ogas' (Atiku, Obasanjo) to falsely impose them on the people.

KAyode for example then ran from PDP to APC then back to PDP. But you notice now that he's in PDP, he's criticized OBJ freely

Nope, PDP as a party is dying.


GEJ is trying to play "Godfather" but not everyone is cool with taking orders from a clueless weakling being controlled by his wife.
