Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has advocated a strong party in power and a strong opposition party, if Nigeria’s democracy must be strong, dynamic and cherished.

He made the call after a closed door meeting with a factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff on Saturday.

The former President described the PDP as “a party whose soul has been taken away and a party in comatose”.

He spoke on the recent crisis in the PDP, under which he was once the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Speaking to journalists at his hilltop residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital in southwest Nigeria, Obasanjo also reiterated his renouncement of partisan politics.

On his part, Senator Sheriff eulogised the leadership of the former President.

He said his visit was part of the ongoing consultation aimed at finding lasting solutions to the leadership crisis in the PDP.

The soul was taken away when non-party men and undemocratic elements like Obasanjo were allowed to hold , direct and snuff the life out of the party.

Obasanjo was right; a democracy needs strong opposition to thrive. However, he should have advised Sheriff to stop asphyxiating the party. He is the chief reason why the party is in disarray and can't provide the much needed opposition to the ruling party.

A leader should always be open to criticism, not silencing dissent. Any leader who does not tolerate criticism from the public is afraid of their dirty hands to be revealed under heavy light. And such a leader is dangerous, because they only feel secure in the darkness. Only a leader who is free from corruption welcomes scrutiny; for scrutiny allows a good leader to be an even greater leader.

This is to tell us that Sheriff is not struggling to be chairman for the good of the party he wants to further drive the party into its waterloo. How can he go to OBJ to discuss about the party he OBJ dropped because his importance in the party was taken to the bearest minimum. I wwonder the kind of advice obj wouuld give him. From Obj's response we all know what the advice would look like.
In my opinion Sheriff should leave the PDP alone because it is obvious he is working for some group of people. Let him go so that the PDP will form a better and stronger opposition.
