The journey to 2023 for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is set to commence today after the election of a national chairman that is expected to lead the
The defeat of the PDP by the APC in 2015 has revealed the underbelly of party hypocrisy displayed by members of the political class who see politics as means of getting meal tickets. Looking at the array of prominent politicians in the APC that were once in the PDP, politicians have been exposed as fair weather who are only out to serve their pockets.
After nearly eight years of losing power, the PDP is desperate to return to power. Frightened by the political undercurrents that are enlarging its centrifugal forces of rancour, the possibility of the main opposition party returning to power is enmeshed in daunting tasks. However, politicians that are close to the man that is expected to be crowned today as the new PDP national chairman are quick to note that he is not an easy push. He has a long history of struggles against undemocratic forces. His major weakness may be hinged in his intellectual understanding that makes it impossible for him to compromise on core principles.
Against the backdrop of intense agitation for power shift in 2023, the Sen Ayu-led chairmanship of the PDP, when ratified by delegates today, is expected to walk a tight rope of reconciling various groups that are further separated by presidential ambitions of desperate politicians. It is a public secret that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is leaving no stone unturned to get the ticket. The South-east zone has continued to insist that 2023 is its turn if justice is to be served.
