Let Us Form A New PDP - Femi Fani-kayode Laments by emmalezy(m): 11:36pm On Aug 18, 2016
Read his article below...

When I warned the Nigerian people about what the APC represented and that, if given power, they would be the most reactionary, repressive, vindictive, insensitive, vicious, thin-skinned, paranoid, divisive and, worse of all, incompetent government in the history of Nigeria no-one listened.

When I told the people that the leaders of the APC were not only unfit to hold power but that they were also Nigeria's local equivalent to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood no-one listened.

When I warned the people that their initial plan was to field a Muslim/Muslim ticket for the 2015 presidential election (until public outrage killed the idea) no-one listened.

When I told the people about the future implications of the dangerous sectarian seed that the APC was planting in our politics by openly encouraging Muslim clerics in the north to preach in the mosques that a vote for Jonathan was a vote for an "infidel" and when I pointed out the fact that all those that supported the PDP from the north would eventually be subjected to violence and persecution and labelled as "traitors", "heretics" and "unbelievers" no-one listened.

When I warned our people about the limitations of President Muhammadu Buhari and what he would do if trusted with power no-one listened.


When I warned the PDP leadership and particularly our PDP governors and Board of Trustee members about the dangers of making Ali Modu Sheriff National Chairman of our party they would not listen.

When I warned them to remove him immediately and not to let him stay as National Chairman for the three months that he asked for they would not listen.

When I told them that the government would NOT allow the National Convention of the party to hold on 17th August or indeed at any other time, no matter what, because Sheriff is working for them they would not listen.

Now I have been proved right and vindicated on all fronts. Let us consider what took place in Port Harcourt on the day of the convention. In collusion with some questionable judges the Buhari administration set out to destabilise, destroy and silence the opposition.

It was well planned, well-orchestrated and well-executed. Governors were temporarily barred from moving around freely and were essentially put under house arrest.

The convention venue was sealed off and delegates were prevented from entering the stadium by gun-wielding mobile police men and soldiers. It was not only a show of shameful, naked brute force but it was also thoroughly evil.

Let me make a another prediction: this is just the beginning of their tyranny. It will get far worse. That is "mai chanji" for you!

The sooner the leaders of the PDP wake up, smell the coffee and appreciate the kind of monster they are dealing with and the sooner they elect and select leaders that are prepared to risk their lives and liberty to confront this government the better.

If you want democracy and freedom you must be prepared to confront the dictator and fight for it. Where there is no justice, there can be no peace. Where there is no freedom, there can be no development.

Where there is no equity, there can be no progress. Our land has been turned into a barren and poverty-striken shell of its former-self by President Buhari's administration.

They have stripped away the glory of our nation, ruined the economy, created ethnic and religious divisions, impoverished the people, brought tears to the eyes of the down-trodden, dashed the hopes and dreams of the young and destroyed the destiny of millions.

The only thing that is left for them to do is to crush the leading opposition party and to attempt to silence, humiliate, discredit, destroy, jail or even kill every single opposition leader that remains vocal.

That is where Senator Ali Modu Sheriff comes in and that is why his disruptive role and questionable mission in the PDP is of so much interest and so useful to the government.

That Sheriff has turned into the proverbial stubborn bone that is stuck in the throat of the PDP is no longer news.

The role and noble efforts of the Senator Makarfi-led Caretaker Commitee have been exemplary and commendable and, in my view, they have earned the support and affection of every loyal party leader and member.

I am not surprised by that because I happen to have known Senator Makarfi, Senator Ben Obi (the Secretary of the Committee) and Hon. Minister Dayo Adeyeye (the Publicity Secretary) for many years and I can attest to the fact that they are all profoundly good men who are very restrained in their manner and approach to complicated issues and who are not only experienced but also rational, reasonable and balanced.

Yet despite their efforts the question that still needs to be answered is how best to handle Ali Modu Sheriff.

Dr. Doyin Okupe, a man for whom I have the greatest respect and affection and one of the most formidable and credible leaders in our party, suggested on his Facebook wall that we should "negotiate" with Sheriff with a view to settling this issue.

He has also said that we should "not blame Buhari and the APC for our woes" but rather we should blame ourselves. He may be right on the latter point but I beg to respectfully and humbly differ with him on the former.

There can be no question of any further negotiation with Sheriff. My response to him, which was posted on his Facebook page and on twitter, reads as follows:

"My dearest brother, I beg to differ with you on your suggestion that we must negotiate with the former National Chairman of our party Ali Modu Sheriff.

If you remember I warned the governors about Shetiff when they imposed him on us. The PDP Ministers Forum rejected him as did the PDP Board of Trustees did at the initial stage but the governors would not listen.

Now we have been vindicated because everything that we said would happen has come to pass.

The imposition of Sheriff by the Governors Forum was the biggest mistake that we have made since President Goodluck Jonathan and the then leadership of our party conceeded the election to Buhari without at least contesting the matter in court.

Frankly, as I wrote at the time, I believe that Sheriff bewitched the governors that brought him to us and indeed those in our party that accepted him and agreed to work with him. Now the power of the spell has worne off and their eyes have opened.

Sadly though things will get worse because Sheriff is under orders: he is working a script and that script was crafted by those who commissioned him to divide, weaken and kill our party.

When you open your doors to a snake what do you expect? I am not surprised by all that he is doing because he is acting true to type: he is a green snake who has dipped his fangs deeply into our flesh and whose poison is kiling us slowly.

The truth is that there can never be any compromise with Sheriff. You cannot compromise with the devil or a snake.

You cannot wine and dine or attempt to cohabit with a creature that the great writer and teacher, Mr. David Icke, describes as a "shape-shifting sociopath and reptilian".

There can be no felllowship between light and darkness even in politics. You cannot negotiate with a narcicistic meglomaniac who wants your head to be cut off and served to him on a silver platter. Sheriff is working for Buhari to destroy the PDP and he has almost succeeded in his mission.

The only solution to this intractible and difficult problem is for us to continue to fight him in the courts and elsewhere and, if push comes to shove, form another political party, get our members and supporters to join that party and leave the desperate old scavanger to feed on the carcass of the old PDP.

Very few people will stay with him because, after some time, carcasses tend to stink and because he is the quintessential plague.

After some time even his most diehard supporters will get sick of him, run away and abandon him.

Permit me to conclude with the following counsel. We must never attempt to appease a bully and a tyrant: it encourages him in his tyranny and it gives him pleasure. To the bully, compromise is seen as nothing more than weakness.

We must be prepared to stand up, stand firm and speak out against the evil that has gripped our land till the very end knowing that the Lord is with us and that He will never forsake us.
If necessary, we must also be prepared to pay the price for doing so because the future of our nation and our children depends on it. We must not waiver.

We must hold the line, firm in the knowledge that no matter how dark the night, joy comes in the morning. We must never forget that our God is mighty in battle and that with Him all things are possible. He makes a way where there seems to be no way.

As always please send my love to my beautiful sister and the children. Fondest thoughts egbon. Shalom".

So FFK believes in charms and enchantment.

What about simply blaming the Governors who as usual believe in applying crooked means in achieving their objectives?

Against wise counsel they not only picked Alhaji Sheriff
(the name has a ring to it), they "imposed" him on their soon to be defunct party yet it is the poor man that has to take the blame.

Yet it some unknown voodoo you wish to blame.

It's funny how Buhari's name even factors in this equation. FFK is surely a loser and a sore one at that.

Anyway to the most important issue - what name would you like to call your new party? Perhaps I suggest GTNP.

GRAND THEFT NIGERIA PARTY.

See oniyeye hiding in plain sight, like discerning minds are not aware of the objective of their rumblings, float the party already, PDP's brand is battered!!!!

Fani Kayode should also go have some seats with his Songs of Sorrow... Where was he when PDP needed cash to clear salary backlogs?

Did he not receive from the Dasukigate blood money? Why did he not remit some to keep PDP afloat?

Too late to cry now, only God's grace can save PDP's sure implosion!!

It is when Political Parties adopt people oriented and focused programmes and policies as against all this campaign promises [/b]of provision of boreholes, food, electricity, and roads, [b]giving pregnant to the barren, provision of OKADA {because the roads aren't good} etc.

There is no point forming a new PDP, all that is required is to agree on several issues, ESCHEW PERSONAL INTEREST's and have sole intent/instinct to move the nation forward.

Public Interest must supercedes personal interest and political parties must listen. And when you don’t feel like listening, provide leadership that inspires trust, and you won’t fail.

As in NPDP? Very laughable grin. For 16 years. FFK and his PDP band of political robbers were busy looting the treasury including the presently infamous Ali Modu Sherrif. All through the years, you all raped Nigeria to stupor. Now, just less than two years in opposition you have turned your dirty, abusive mouth against the party that gave you the platform to become who you are Today.
FFK is part of the problem bedevilling PDP. I can stake my girlfriend, come 2019, FFK will still be part of PDP even if another opposition party is floated. Ali Modu Sheriff is not the problem with PDP, rather it is the many selfish pdp members like FFK who majorly constitute the party

This is the same guy who confessed being a party to using subterfuge to destabilize opposition when PDP was in power. No wonder it's easy to imagine without any evidence that the ruling party today must be doing likewise.

We know you, you cannot survive in opposition politics, your loot in PDP will soon run low and you will return with tail between leg, groveling and prostrating to re-join the ruling party
