Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and some notable leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party were at the party’s headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday over the crises trailing the ongoing primaries of the party.
The other PDP leaders that were at the party’s headquarters in Abuja included governors Sullivan Chime (Enugu) and Adebayo Alao-Akala (Oyo) as well as the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Chief Taofeek Arapaja.
Also at the party’s headquarters were the former National Chairman of the party, Chief Solomon Lar; the Deputy President of the Senate, Chief Ike Ekweremadu; ex-President of the Senate , Chief Ken Nnamani; a former Governor of old Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo; ex-Minister of Justice, Chief Richard Akinjide (SAN) and a former Governor of Oyo State, Chief Kolapo Ishola.
When accosted, Obasanjo, laughing, declined to state the reason(s) for his visit . But after much prompting, he continued with his laughter and said “may God not take laughter out of my mouth and may He (God) also not take laughter out of your own mouths,”.
However, an anonymous NWC member said “The BOT chairman came to complain about the conduct of primaries across the country, especially the one in his home state. He warned that if care was not taken, the party could lose in some states.”
With the stream of unsatisfactory reactions to the conduct of the recent PDP primaries across the country, do you see the party heading for an internal crisis that might affect their overall performance in the coming general elections?
