Dear Editor,
SOLUDO’S LOSS: IT WAS GOOD HE CONCEDED BUT.........
Given PDP’s assertion that it was the in-fighting within its Anambra chapter that made Soludo
lose the election; the PDP National Working Committee should share in the blame, so also
some party stalwarts within and outside the State. The PDP forced Soludo on party members
and at the same time failed to discipline members who erred in their negative utterances and
court cases. Whereas the PDP Anambra blamed Ogbulafor for imposing Soludo, Ogbulafor
has denied the blame and attributed the situation to Soludo’s fate (refer to Daily Punch
08/02/10).
The PDP national publicity secretary, Rufai Alkali, while commenting on the party’s loss in the
national dailies Monday 08/02/10 said “It is very, very unfortunate that our party lost in
Anambra State, a PDP State”. My reply to Rufai is that; PDP’s past governments in Anambra
were failed ones and this was confirmed by some PDP members and therefore how would he
expect Anambra people to support the party that did fail them.
PDP as a party seems to have untouchable members; in which case it lacks internal
democracy and discipline. It has failed to discipline persons like Senator Annie Okonkwo,
Chief Chris Uba, Governor Godswill Akpabio, Chief Don Etiebet, etc as their utterances
offered Peter Obi a ready-made (weapon) slogan. Also those members that went to court
against Soludo’s candidacy should also be disciplined. With such action taken against the
bunch, other members contemplating toeing the patterns would have a rethink. Finally the
PDP NEC and NWC should also be cautioned to always allow democracy within the party.
