The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has admitted that rebuilding the party after its exit from power has been challenging.

The acclaimed largest party in Africa said that since it lost power for the first time since 1999, it has not been easy.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, who told Punch in an interview, however, said some persons had deserted the party because it refused to use derogatory words on the person of President Buhari.

The party chieftain, however said, he was confident that the forces working against the rebuilding of the party within its fold and outside would crumble.

He said, “We have been rebuilding, but it is not easy. We are rebuilding, but there are different forces, and contending interests (working against it). It is not easy.

“On one hand, we are dealing with a ruthless ruling party, and we also have some divisive elements in our party who are genuinely accepting some influence in the administration of the party.

“Knowingly or unknowingly, they are embarking on distractions and distractions that would rather be in the interest of the ruling party than our growth.”

Metuh said despite losing the general elections, it had tried to remain focused and play the role of an opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

As the spokesperson for the opposition party, Metuh regretted that some members of his party wanted him to be abusing the President (Muhammadu Buhari) with the hope that that action would boost the image of the PDP.

He said, “But since we lost the election, we have tried to remain focused and retain the support of a very large number of our members to remain focused in opposing this government.

“Some of our members misconstrue an opposition party to be a party that insults people because that was what the APC was doing.

“People want us to insult the President and the ruling party to remain in opposition. Because we are not doing that, our people are not comfortable with that.

“They believe that we are too soft and they believe that we are too academic. They want us to be insulting the people. It was not by insulting the former President that gave the APC victory.

“We fuelled partisan support for the APC in some part of the country. ”

PDP getting more confused by the day. They simply can't help it anymore.

PDP has lost anything left that could be called credibility. Metuh feels the only way to resurrect the party is to stay verbally relevant. What a waste!

Mumu talk.All d the insult of FAYOSE and co nkoh? Nah praise be dat.PDP is dead .Tonyebarcanista is coming back to where he belong last last after we kick out Wicked WIKE

Just exactly my thought.

What is there to abuse again? There's nothing that wasn't said about Buhari, but the gentleman didn't care, because he knows you lack substance and are looters.

End time Metuh...

Guys please disregard this info,
Last time i checked, Ayodele fayose was the PDP spokesman

Proudly a wailer!!!

Tell them o.

When a hitherto strong edifice crumbles - you cannot just rebuild nebulously.

% First you need to accept the reality that the once-admirable structure is gone and may not be reinvented soon
% As a norm the old guards must accept failure and take back-seat for the new, popular and acceptable chaps
% The new chaps should tarry in executing the tasks ;
% Why did the structure collapse?
% What could the managers have done differently?
% Given the prevailing conditions every task must be approached with 100% success guarantee
% Take quality time to do pre-job analysis for every task - issues, people, reactions, effects, finance
% Carefully remove the rubles with less noise
% Be honest and thorough
% Prepare a realistic rebuilding plan (new generation voters are only loyal to their welfare)
% Move to site and start re-building and see if many will not join-up

Nurse Metusellah is confused!!

The only reason people are running from PDP is cos money don finish!!! End of story!!

BTW, IPOB are not doing a good Job of destabilizing Nigeria, please tell your backers to devise another means.

Get out of my head!!

The insults haven't deterred PMB one bit. That's not the reason why they are leaving.

They are leaving because there's no money to share anymore.

He said, “We have been rebuilding, but it is not easy. We are rebuilding, but there are different forces, and contending interests (working against it). It is not easy.

It can't be easy when there is a shaky foundation. Nobody wants to finance a party when there is no guarantee that their personal interests will be met. You want to have a Northern candidate in 2019 when the major financial assets are in the South. Right now,zoning has resulted in a battle for the Chairmanship position and old men dragging themselves to court.

I can't wait for your National Convention.

Simply put it that people like Fani-Kayode, Ike Ekweremadu, Fayose and Co wanted me to insult President Muhammadu Buhari but I've found no fault in spite of my earlier ranting.

Yo yo yo! Dude's dreaming that 'suki will forget his name. We wouldn't call 'suki a liar should he come to the letter "M."

What looks dumb

Thinks dumb

And talks dumb?

Anyone expecting PDP to bounce back needs to have his head checked out by a Mechanic. It is so hopeless for PDP that even Buhari's failure cannot bring PDP back to power.

The only option is that they should change their name. Shikena!

temitemi1:
Mr Metuh, why are we opposition then

To trade insults?
No, I don't think so.

PDP should change their name to PMS

The Auxiliary Nurse has resorted to bare faced lies since every other technique appears to have failed and Baba isn't giving two fvcks about their insults and hate messages. They are now trying so hard to pass themselves off as saints, just like their confused nairaland Sherlock H*e.

PDP should stop trying to famz. Mrs Oliesa Metuh, you have a date with EFCC whether you insult Baba or lick his 73 years old balls everyday. All these sugar coated trash you publish might impress Baba, but hey, Baba isn't your problem really, Magu is.
