Moses Siasia Leaves PDP, Says ‘young People Have No Future In The Party’ by sultan457(op): 6:21am On Aug 22, 2015
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.
