Daniels warns of rocky future for PDP in South-west
Ogun State
Governor, Gbenga Daniel yesterday warned of collapse of the Peoples
Democratic Party {PDP} in the South-west of the country as a result of
the incessant internal wranglings within the ruling party, especially
following loss of two states of Ekiti and Ondo.
Mr Daniel made the
prediction at the second stakeholders meeting and inauguration of
Coordinators of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidential Campaign, held at
his Aseludero Private Residence in Sagamu, Addressing the meeting,
which comprises the Jonathan South-West Campaign team,
Daniel said the only way out is for the party to put its house in order.
“We must tell
ourselves the truth, we have not managed our victory well,” he said.
“The capacity of our party to manage crisis is nil.” The governor, who
is the South-west Coordinator for the campaign team, linked the fear of
winning next elections to the loss of Ondo and Ekiti states to the
opposition.
Scary news
Lamenting the
ouster of Segun Oni by the court ruling, Mr Daniel frankly declared,
“The worst came recently when we legally lost Ekiti.
What happened in
Ekiti State is a shame for all of us, nobody expected it” adding that
for those in Osun State, “what I am hearing is scary.”
Admitting that the party has challenges and hurdles to cross to win
impressively in the forthcoming elections, the governor said: “We must
not take things for granted, what we have in our hand is major. If we
should again lose Osun, PDP is gone. If we are not careful, that may be
the end of our party. He then appealed to all stakeholders to take a
second look at the problems and find ways of resolving the internal
wrangling.
