FORMER Deputy National Chairman of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and chairman
of the North-East and North-west team of the
Senator. Ike Ekweremadu led post Election Review
Committee, Alhaji Suiabu Oyedokun disclosed
weekend that as part of moves to have a
formidable party, the leadership of PDP has
engaged the services of experts from the
International Republican Institute,IRI to after the
assignment, subject the findings and
recommendations of the committee to clinical
analysis.
According to Oyedokun, it became imperative for
PDP to engage these experts to ensure neutrality of
individual members of the committee and the
leadership of the party, just as he said that all
aggrieved members of the party were regrouping to
come back under one umbrella and rebuild the
party.
Oyedokun who disclosed this after a meeting with
representatives of the party from the North-west
Zone, assured all members of the party that the
committee would not be partisan but would come
out with viable recommendations that would
make the party regained its lost glory by waxing
stronger and return to power come 2019.
He said that the PDP was desirous to regain its
lost glory against the backdrop that stakeholders,
leaders, elders and members of the party have
carried out a postmortem on last presidential and
general elections and have realised mistakes,
adding that the leadership after the poor
performance of the party in the last general
elections had to put in place the post election
review committee to examine the factors which were
responsible for its woeful performance after being
in power for the last sixteen years and having
done so much in transforming the country to an
enviable position in the committee of nations.
Senator Ike Ekweremadu led post Election Review
Committee of the Party was set up by the
National Working Committee, NWC to look at
among others, factors that were responsible for the
party’s poor performance in the last general
According to Oyedokun, “this is an innovation in
our party and in the country in general, that is
why most of us who are also founding fathers of
the party decided to partake in the assignment
despite the factthat we are in the fasting period
because we don’t normally fix political activities
for this period because it is a rigorous exercise,we
have to sacrifice a lot in the interest of the party
and our great nation.
“The Committee then decided to send various
teams to the six geo political zones to receive
representations fomr the members and here we are
our committee was posted to the North East and
the North West, We thank God that in course of
our moving round we have been able to discover
among other things that anger,
misunderstanding and internal ranging among
others which I will not mention here responsible
for our failure as a party at the polls”.
“It is interesting to note that we have been able to
receive representations from various groups and
individuals, the representations were not only
thoroughly debated but they were all adopted, we
have been able to appeal to all aggrieved
individuals and groups and the responses are very
favourably, they are all interested in returning to
under one umbrella once again ahead of 2019
general elections.”
Speaking in the same vein, former Minister of
Interior, Comrade Abba Moro who is also a
member of the committee and Senator Ibrahim
Kazaure, the North- west zonal Vice Chairman of
the party expressed optimism that with the current
efforts being made by the leadership of the party,
PDP would sooner than later regain its lost glory.
Comrade Abba Moro appealed to all party
members to put all that happened during the last
general elections behind them and forge ahead in
the over all insterest of the party having learnt its
lesson in a hard way.
On his own Senator Kazaure declared that the
party was still on ground in all the nooks and
crannies of the country and that concerted efforts
should be made to reunite ahead of 2019 general
elections.
