A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and a National
Coordinator of the Yoruba Youth Alliance, YYA Chief Jackson Lekan Ojo, said his
former party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is already in the morgue,
adding that there is no sign the party will resurrect.
He noted, “PDP is in the political morgue; it cannot
resurrect to become a viable party, at least, not in Nigeria.”
Ojo, a security expert, was speaking in a chat with Daily
Trust in Abuja where he added that, “setting up of committees and the court
cases here and there will not make any impact.”
He further advised that one of the factions of the party
should pull and register as a new party or merge with any of the mushroom
parties in the country.
According to him, “Let one of the factions pull out and
register a new political party or grab any of the mushroom political parties
and pump their 16 years ill-gotten wealth into it and begin a massive political
evangelism to see if they can get some political converts.”
He added, “As a matter of fact, I have seen a very cloudy
weather as regards the 2019 general elections. But, I am optimistic it shall be
peacefully conducted by INEC.
“There will be winners and losers; all the noise around is
as a result of over-ambitious politicians that are trying to reposition
themselves for relevance, getting a good political platform for contest; trying
to get rid of some better personalities by means of blackmailing and trying to
steal our wealth to get them wealthy in preparation for the elections. Little
do they know that a lot of political watchers are busy monitoring all their activities
now with keen interest”.
