Senate Leader Blames Governors For Jonathan's Loss by Petitediva14(op): 11:02pm On May 03, 2015
Blame upon blame .....everyday someone is being blamed for Jonathan's loss. When would they just let it go?....

The latest in the blaming saga....

Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, on Sunday accused the Peoples Democratic Party governors across the country for the massive electoral defeat suffered by out-going President Goodluck Jonathan, in the just-concluded presidential election.

Ndoma – Egba, told journalists in Abuja that the road to the March 28/April 11 electoral loss of the PDP and Jonathan, actually started from the December 2014 primaries when the governors deliberately shut out ‘unwanted candidates’ and imposed their own, on the party.

He said, “The resultant effect, was exodus from the PDP without any corresponding influx.”

The leader of the senate, had on Friday, delivered a paper, ” Majority and minority parties in the Legislature: party defection (cross carpeting in the legislature)” at the induction course for legislators-elect of the 8th National Assembly in Abuja.

He said that aggrieved PDP members defected to the opposition parties because their former party squeezed them out.

According to him, “In the case of the PDP recently, politicians left because they felt that they did not fit within the governors’ calculations.”

He said, “In my view, since every politics is local, each case should be treated on its merit.Unbridled defection has the capacity of not only overheating the polity and upsetting the entire political configuration but destabilizing the polity.

“While the law has clearly settled the circumstances under which a person elected on the platform of a political party can switch parties, nothing restricts those who are not in the legislature from switching parties.

“The phenomenon will endure for as long as ownership of political parties is not with its members but with, as in the case of the PDP, the governors.

“Governors (especially of the PDP) have become so over bearing that it is only their wishes that rule. The party (at the national level) suborns its constitution, guidelines and even court orders to please the whims and fancies of governors who appropriate the will of members and impose theirs in its stead.

Ndoma-Egba advised that the best antidote against the PDP defeat in 2019 was to stem further defections by ensuring “internal party democracy” as a party can only give the nation what it has.

“A party that does not have internal Party democracy can only falsely promise the nation democracy,”he added.

Ndoma – Egba told journalists in Abuja that the
road to the March 28/April 11 electoral loss of
the PDP and Jonathan, actually started from the
December 2014 primaries when the governors
deliberately shut out ‘unwanted candidates’ and
imposed their own, on the party.
I bet this man is suffering from acute memory loss. Why blame the governors when the president did the same at the presidential level. He shut out every other candidate that wanted to contest the primary and instead of an election, what they had as their presidential primary was simply a coronation.

Remember that Mr Egba.

Meanwhile, I hope you guys keep fighting. It has become so bad Olisa Metuh has started fraternising with SR, telling them how Jo was responsible for his own failure. Still waiting for the chief blabbermouth of them all, FFK!

When would one of them just gather the balls and tell Jonathan he lost because he was incompetent, then apologise to the Nigerian people for 16 years of failed leadership? I won't hold my breath though, it is PDP after all. They can keep lying to themselves. Unfortunately people are yet to truly understand that bad leadership costs lives, that is why the people keep tolerating it.
