The youngest governorship aspirant in Bayelsa state, Moses Siasia
has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, regretting that
young people have no future in the party.
The 35 year-old Chairman of multi-billion naira business empire,
Mosilo Group, in a statement, stressed that the leadership of the
PDP in Bayelsa has isolated him because he chose to champion the
cause of the youths.
“I always wanted to see a PDP that will transform into modern day
realities and a party that places high premium on the YOUTH who
are the engine room of any nation but the more I pushed for youth
inclusion in all affairs of the party, the more I was isolated. There
was always greater emphasis on money politic rather than
ideological prospects. I have carefully watched over the years and
have come to the painful conclusion that the PDP is not ready to
change its old ways of imposition, godfatherism and gangsterism,”
he noted in the statement.
Read full statement below:
For many years now, I have been actively involved in supporting
successive governments in my beloved country Nigeria. I have
always believed that every citizen needs to support their government
for such government to succeed which was why I supported the
governments of late President Umaru Musa Yaradua and that of
Goodluck Jonathan. I had thought that by supporting these two
governments, I would have fulfilled my patriotic duties as a citizen
of my country. I have continuously done my best through my
various contributions towards governance in Nigeria through my
organization “Nigerian Young Professional Forum (NYPF).
I joined the PDP when one of my overzealous cousins went to my
ward to talk about registering me there. I later found the idea to be a
very good one and was excited about the whole idea of party
politics and making a difference.
I continued to be actively involved in party politics from 2013 till date
and the more I got involved in the politics of the party, the more
discouraged I became. I saw that so many things were not been
done properly and I always wanted to advice and make corrections
but the more vocal I became, the more they isolated me, may be
because they felt I was a threat to the business as usual way of
doing things. I always wanted to see a PDP that will transform into
modern day realities and a party that places high premium on the
YOUTH who are the engine room of any nation but the more I
pushed for youth inclusion in all affairs of the party, the more I was
isolated. There was always greater emphasis on money politic
rather than ideological prospects.
I have carefully watched over the years and have come to the
painful conclusion that the PDP is not ready to change its old ways
of imposition, godfatherism and gangsterism.
After the elections, it became very obvious and clear that Nigerians
had rejected the PDP because they were tired of seeing the same old
faces doing the same thing for16years. Faces that the people were
convinced are corrupt and cant bring the desired change to the
people. The people wanted new faces and something new.
The PDP had a clear chance of redeeming its image in the eyes of
the Nigerian people by injecting fresh ideas and fresh faces which
would have automatically rebranded the party and restore
confidence in the party. I had presented myself to the party on many
occasions urging them to use me as that face with a perfect case
for Bayelsa State but the party has failed to take advantage of this
great opportunity.
The PDP had every opportunity to rebrand and rediscover itself after
its defeat at the just concluded general election but I can now see
they do not wish to change or evolve.
I, have, therefore, today the 22nd of August decided to leave the
party for ideological reasons. I can no longer stay on in the party
because they do not have respect for my generation or me. I have
nothing personal with the party and will continue to respect her but I
think young people have no future in the party.
