Impunity and injustice have always been the Achilles’ heel of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Those, who left the PDP in the past have always complained that it does not reward loyalty and the developments around the Deputy Senate President, Prof. Ike Ekweremadu in the last few days have affirmed that narrative.

The PDP has treated Ekweremadu, one of the pillars that held it firm in the days of stormy weather, as if unalloyed loyalty is a political crime and suicide. Commitment and faithfulness have been discouraged, while treachery and unfaithfulness rewarded. What a pity!

I was one of those who lambasted the South East leaders when I didn’t have the substance of their reservations over the nomination of Peter Obi as vice presidential candidate. Now, with more information coming out, it is clear that Obi is not the issue. They only complained about the process. Indeed, that Obi was selected by “outsiders” without the input of the PDP leaders from South-East is an aberration, betrayal of trust, and insult on collective intelligence of PDP stakeholders in the South-East.

Sore and pathetic tales

To confirm that it wasn’t an oversight, those patriots who stood by the party have been thrown out into the cold. This is the sore and pathetic tales of Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu at the moment. Those who worked against Atiku Abubakar and some of those who lost the presidential ticket to him as a result of Ekweremadu and South East PDP leaders’ huge support have all ganged up against the Senator. A particular South-South governor, who threatened to deal with the PDP if they dared move the convention from Port Harcourt, have also sworn to decimate Ekweremadu politically for working against his interests in favour of Atiku Abubakar.

True to his threat, the recent constitution of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council without Ekweremadu’s knowledge and input as a ranking member, who labored for the party in the rain is another evidence that the PDP has thrown him out of the house he helped to rebuild, rebrand and reposition, just to please his adversaries, who felt threatened by his rising profile.

Ironically, the silence and failure of Atiku, who is the beneficiary of the support of delegates from South-East during the convention in the unfolding conspiracy against Ekweremadu is not golden but rather suspicious. It is frightening that those, who worked against his candidacy as the PDP flag bearer, and who might actually be programming the Atiku/Obi ticket for electoral disaster, are the ones calling the shots in the presidential campaign, while people like Senator Ekweremadu who stood by him in the dark political tunnel have been left at the mercy of their rivals—who now pretend to be more Atiku than Atiku himself. This smacks of political betrayal that would certainly make many of Atiku’s diehard supporters to think twice.

Conversely, whatever anyone says about Chief Ollusegun Obasanjo, he never leaves his diehard supporters and foot soldiers in the cold. If you stand by him, he will stand by you till the very end.

Ironically, those spearheading the onslaught against Ekweremadu will not be in the Southeast to deliver votes to the PDP during presidential election. The party and Atiku will depend on the “rejected stones. Only a political party and a presidential candidate, who are not serious of winning elections will treat their political generals as unwelcomed guests in a house they invested a lot in building and sustaining, most importantly, in the face of political torments by the ruling party and “Tornado Ali Modu Sheriff”.

Those ungrateful elements, who are calling the shots today were the ones making jest of Senator Ekweremadu for being the then national leader of an opposition party plagued by internal crisis. Yet, Ekweremadu did not deem it fit to jump ship and forsake what looked like the carcass of the party as others did then. Instead, he rallied the support of other stakeholders to rescue the PDP from the brink of death and gave it a fresh of breath air. He chaired the Ekweremadu Committee made sound recommendations at the end of the assignment, giving direction to the party when it was rudderless and subsequently set it on the path of recovery. These strategic steps made the PDP a formidable platform that those who left now saw as a veritable platform to win elections.

Self-serving and disloyal tendencies

Any political party that promotes treacherous, self-serving and disloyal tendencies, is on its rough road to Golgotha, perdition, and self-destruction. A presidential candidate who sacrifices his diehard and pioneer supporters on the altar of political exigencies, surrounds himself with his new found wolves in sheep’s clothing, should better prepare for painful betrayal and backstabbing on the day of reckoning. The same opportunists, who have succeeded in displacing real loyalists on the table of decision-making, will be first to abandon the ship of presidential campaign when the voyage becomes turbulent.

In the face of the unfolding humiliations and conspiracy, Ekweremadu has no option but to weigh all alternatives—he has to place all cards on the table now and activate his political survival instinct. Only a tree will stand seeing a razor-sharp axe dangling around its waist.

The PDP and its presidential candidate have proven to be eternally ungrateful, neither worth slaving for nor dying for.

Nonsense Epistle!

Atiku is for the masses not for Ekweremadu alone

He can decamp if he so wishes, we will gladly wish him well

how did APC rewarded Amaechi and Fashola? ministerial post offourse

But those who left PDP and camped in APC are decamping APC back to PDP. It means APC is worse than PDP

Shut Up!
PDP is a failed party filled with looters.

we need people with brain, people with good track records in government, Peter Obi is better, we need technocrats in government and not those all season politicians, if you want to decamp, just go ahead! selfish man

They decamped for their selfish interest.

Meanwhile.
Sai Baba 2019

They are eternally ungrateful and support treachery instead of rewarding loyalty. Anyways, politics is always about interest. Atiku and his camp used Ekweremadu to get what they want, and will use the wike's and co to get to the end. I pity Ekweremadu. I see betrayal and vengeance looming in the south east. APC as a part will cash in on this and make it a glorious advantage. Politics is all about interest. Ekweremadu will remain in Pdp in body but APC in soul.

Uhnn

OP is APC mole. Ikweremmadu isn't complaining oh

Beside he's the second man in senate

Ekweremadu should just save us all this noise and decamp as far as am concerned Atiku picked the best candidate for the job, Ekweremadu should just calm down and relax as there will still be so much reward for party loyalist when we finally Atikukate in 2019, something tells me this post was sponsored by APC

If everybody in PDP will benefit as Ekweremadu has done this life will be heaven on earth.

Ekweremadu please you have benefitted. Come to terms with that and allow and give others the chance and opportunity to also benefit.

Is it all about you?

The presidential candidate is the one who choose who he feels will help him run the Country affairs the way he would like to. Atiku has chosen Obi case close.Anybody who is not happy about it, should leave simple.

pdp sure
