ABUJA- NATIONAL leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP admitted yesterday that as a party, it was not perfect as mistakes were made in the past, but the opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC was not an option.
Speaking yesterday when he received
the PDP forum of zonal publicity secretaries in his office at the party’s
national secretariat, Abuja, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa
Metuh stressed that in midst of security challenges, President Goodluck
Jonathan was still performing
and government going on, even as he reiterated
the party’s position on utterances of leaders of opposition party that it has
over heated the polity.
Olisa Metuh
He said, “Like in democratic
setting, no one is perfect, the PDP is not perfect, yes Nigerians expect us to
be better than we are, but Nigerians truly know that our competition
(opposition) is not an option.”
Metuh who noted that recently, the
opposition was emboldened by the calls of the PDP and have chosen the path of
wisdom to temper their voice, however recalled its stand to the bomb blast that
took place at Nyanya Motor Park where it tasked the opposition on the state of
insecurity in the country, adding, “The fact that some of these insurgents have
been financed by people who were encouraged by the hard stance, utterances,
statements made by these opposition leaders, when people are statesmen, we
don’t expect them to speak in pursuance of their personal interest.
“We are happy today that they have
chosen the path of wisdom to temper their voice, they have heeded our call, I
think our statement was positive in the sense that they have moderate the
views, utterances of the opposition leaders. We are happy we did that, the
party stands by that statement and have had profound effect on the body polity”
The PDP spokesperson who noted that
the opposition has resulted to insulting the President of the country, national
chairman of the PDP, the party and every other person because of dearth of any
opinion and ideology, said, “The statement of the opposition always it is
definitely as ugly as their looks and their actions, it is a product of
frustration, resentment against their creator, because anybody that is happy
with himself, a fulfilled human being will be cautious in his statements and
the way he insults others”.
Metuh who explained that the party
has provided a level playing field for party members, said that the party
believes that power belongs to the people, adding “Our mantra is that power to
the people in a democratic setting, it is not one man that chooses his
successor, or chose the people that will contest election.”
Insisting that in the mist of
security challenges, governance must go on, he stressed that President Goodluck
Jonathan has been able to keep a level playing field exemplified by the
successful hosting of the World Economic Forum on Africa. “Never in the history
of this country have we had such challenges come at a very critical time of our
development, we are saddened by the abduction of the Girls of Government
Secondary School in Chibok”.
He added that the party will never
play politics with human live, saying the government will work hard to ensure
security of lives and property.
Earlier chairman of the forum zonal
publicity secretaries of PDP and South-South zonal publicity secretary, Ali
Odeifa who expressed the loyalty of the forum to President Jonathan, Adamu
Mu’azu and the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, applauded
Jonathan’s effort on insecurity and his wisdom in accepting assistance from
foreign countries.
The delegation included; Emmanuel
Okpokpo (south-South), Al-Amin San (North East)i, Taofeeq Ganiyu (South West)
and Suleman Mohammed (North Central).
