The Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the main opposition People’s Democratic Party, (PDP), Senator Adolphus Wabara, has hinted that the party will resist attempts by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to turn Nigeria into a one-party state.
Reacting to the reported mass resignation of key PDP members in the South East, the former Senate President accused the APC of using some elements in the PDP to disintegrate the party.
Among the recent decampees include former Governor of Imo State, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, who on Tuesday, resigned his membership of the PDP, citing the lingering controversy over the position of the PDP National Secretary.
Many have followed especially in Imo State making PDP’s recovery daisy.
Reacting to the development, Wabara said that the PDP BoT would swiftly wade in to halt further exit of other members.
But Senator Wabara said that the BoT as the conscience of the party would not allow self-seeking individuals to be used by the ruling party to destabilize the PDP.
He said: “The BoT will wade in expeditiously to save the deliberate and planned extinction of this great party, the People’s Democratic Party.
“The BoT with the array of distinguished men and women of invaluable experience and integrity will surely salvage the party. The BoT did it once and shall do it again no matter whose ox is gored.
“The BoT will never allow the APC to use some characters in the PDP to turn this beautiful and sweet Nation (Nigeria) into a one-party state. ”
He said that the PDP had an array of seasoned politicians capable of weaving whatever internal challenges rocking the party and expressed optimism that very soon, whatever grievances some members of the party had would be amicably resolved.
