No matter how some members of the Peoples Democratic Party, especially from the north, see the issues going on in the party and call them non-issues, if not properly handled, they are going to destroy the Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria permanently. The Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria got it wrong by bringing in Mr. Atiku Abubakar when they knew that the constitution of the party favoured zoning, which would have gone to the south, but Mr. Atiku Abubakar’s desperation to be the president of Nigeria in 2023 denied the people of the south such an arrangement, which contributed to the confusion going on in the party. This is bad. Some aspects of the Peoples Democratic Party’s constitution were ignored, and that is the price members of the party are paying now. Mr. Atiku Abubakar, who is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, said that he could not ask Senator Iyiocha Ayu to resign. It would have been better if you persuaded him to step down as the national chairman of the party just for peace to reign, so that all members of the party can be carried along. If one examines the positions in the Peoples Democratic Party, you will see that it is a one-sided show. A situation where the presidential candidate is from the north, the national chairman of the party is from the north, and even the deputy chairman is also from the north. Such an arrangement is terrible, but still some members of the Peoples Democratic Party from the north do not see anything wrong with this arrangement and want Peoples Democratic Party members from the south to trust and campaign for Mr. Atiku Abubakar so that he can become the president of Nigeria in 2023. Again, this arrangement shows that Mr. Atiku Abubakar is not capable of uniting his party and Nigeria. However, this is not about governor Nyesom Wike’s camp asking Mr. Iyiocha Ayu to step down; it is about doing the right thing as the Peoples Democratic Party’s constitution, which favoured zoning, spelt it out. It was also revealed that Senator Iyiocha Ayu called Mr. Tambuwal a hero of the convention and openly embraced him. This means that before they came to Peoples Democratic Party’s convention, some northern members of the party had met and made a decision on what to do without carrying the southern members of the party along. Such deceitful plans will always cause disunity in a party, which is bad.
