A former national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Ologbondiyan, has expressed displeasure that former vice president, Atiku Abubakar and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, are considered the focus in the ongoing crisis in the party.
Naija News reports that Ologbondiyan, in an interview on ARISE TV, stated that PDP is bigger than Atiku and Wike, noting that the focus on the individuals is disheartening.
According to him, the focus should be on making the PDP a viable opposition and restoring peace to the party.
He added that beyond Wike and Atiku, there are people still in the party who can restore peace and make it strong.
He said, “I have consistently said that the Peoples Democratic Party is bigger than two leaders or individuals, Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike. It is disturbing and even depressing that everytime people talk about PDP, They come from the angle that Wike is the division, Atiku is the division.
“The challenge in the country today is bigger than talking about individuals and opposition that is confronting challenges. No matter how you look at it, PDP remains the biggest political opposition and it is only PDP that can bring other opposition parties together to form a formidable group.
“I think we should be concerned about restoring peace and forming a strong opposition. There are people in PDP who can make this happen beyond Atiku and Wike. People have left the party in the time past, and the party has remained and as a result of that, I don’t think that PDP should be allowed to be dropped or die on account of issues between Atiku and Wike.”
