PDP not a political party, says Duke
Former Cross River
State governor, Donald Duke, has described the ruling Peoples’
Democratic Party (PDP) as no longer qualified to be called a political
party.
Mr. Duke stated
this yesterday at a conference organised by the Save Nigeria Group
(SNG) and the Change Nigeria Project (CNP) at the Transcorp Hilton
Hotel, Abuja, while reacting to claims by a special assistant to the
PDP national chairman, Okwesilieze Nwodo, that the party has been
reformed.
“PDP held a lot of
hope for Nigerians. It started off as a great party. But today, it has
ceased to be a party. It is now a platform to win elections,” Mr. Duke
said.
The former governor, while calling for greater grassroots
participation in Nigerian politics, stated that “politics is too
important to be left to politicians.”
