Ali Modu-Sheriff, chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), has identified arrogance as one of the factors that contributed to the
loss of former president, Goodluck Jonathan, in the 2015 presidential election.
. In an interview with Independent
Newspapers, Sheriff said things would have been different if he was the
one in charge. He said the former ruling party had the opportunity to win but
squandered it.
“So many factors contributed to
Jonathan’s failure to win the elections… I know that arrogance was one of such
issues and I also know that some of our party men and women sold out,” he said.
“I may not be able to tell you
everything now, but it is an open secret that even his own men worked against
him. By the time we went into that election, so many things had happened which
served as warning signals of failure, but they were ignored.
“If I were in charge, things would have
been different. You can see even for the few weeks that we took charge; we have
begun changing the old order of doing things.
“If I were in charge, I would not have allowed our members, especially people who control strategic states with large voting population, to move out of the party massively in the build up to the elections.”
