ELECTION 2019: PDP Chieftain Speaks On Saraki Dumping APC, Returning To Party


Kunle Suleiman, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kwara State, has said the party should not re-admit the Senate President, Bukola Saraki into the party. 
Suleiman, a founding chairman of PDP in the state, claimed that Saraki was now an anathema in the state.
In a statement he issued on Thursday, Suleiman appealed to the leadership of PDP to stay away from Saraki if the party intended to win in Kwara State. 
Suleiman cautioned that any association with Saraki will lead to the electorate voting against the party in the next elections.
He said, “The hope of PDP winning the state would be dashed the moment Saraki is associated with the party because the people have resolved not to go the way of Saraki again.”
Noting that it was erroneous to regard any group of politicians as new PDP, he stressed that since a splinter group led by Saraki left the party four years ago to form the All Progressives Congress, APC, it amounts to a fraud to carry the “toga of PDP again”. 
Suleiman said, “There is no new PDP nor old PDP. Those who claimed to be nPDP particularly in Kwara State came from APP to the PDP.
“We were happy that they came but they came to destroy what the party stands for and later left in the guise of new PDP to join APC.
“Their trade in stock is to hijack another party and use it for their selfish interests alone, destroy it and dump the party for another.
“They destroyed PDP, went to APC, I think they must have satisfied themselves with the party (APC) and now looking for where to go next.
“Presently, Dr. Saraki is a bad product to electorate in Kwara, people will not vote for any party he goes to in Kwara State. 
“I trust the national body of PDP will not accept him except we do not intend to win elections in the state.”

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
