PDP Is Now A Sinking Ship, We Can't Go Back ––G5 Governor

The defunct New PDP has formally ruled out a return of its members and leaders to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing it as a sinking ship whose new chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu, has been saddled with playing the unenviable role of an undertaker.

“For the avoidance of doubt, let me state unequivocally on the authority of the departed Governors and other stakeholders of the defunct nPDP that none of us, including the G5 Governors, members of the National Assembly or any stakeholder of the defunct nPDP, has any intention of rejoining PDP no matter the level of manoeuvring, coercion or enticement. 

"We are not interested as we have left with the soul of PDP and Mu'azu can have the carcass of the party to revive if he has the ability. We are, however, convinced that he is doomed to fail but would only end up playing the unenviable role of an undertaker as PDP is a sinking ship destined to completely go under sooner than later based on the prayers of the good people of Nigeria and approved by God.”

Defunct nPDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, said in a statement in Abuja: 

"We ordinarily wouldn’t have commented on the ongoing macabre dance in PDP, having left the torn umbrella since November last year for the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the good of our nation. 

"We are, however, forced to set the records straight following speculations occasioned by President Goodluck Jonathan’s statement that the G5 Governors and some of us that have left the party would return following the forced resignation of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur and subsequent appointment of Alhaji Adamu Muazu our good old friend as the new National Chairman of PDP.”

Continuing, Chief Eze said: “We truly sympathize with our good old friend, Alh. Adamu Muazu as the PDP National Chairman as his woes started the very minute he was appointed when President erroneously stated that some of the G5 Governors that have left the sinking PDP will soon be back except Governors Amaechi and Nyako as Mr. president is so frightened by the principled and intimidating democratic credentials of these two forgotten that in the defunct nPDP we are one united family that cannot be separated and who are so determined to see to the end of the political misfortune that PDP has imposed on our nation”, Chief Eze boasted. 

According to Chief Eze, the second woe of our good friend the new National PDP Chairman was the booby trap set up on the same day of his appointment by Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom in his usual double game aimed to ensure that Alh Mu'azu fails in this onerous task was when he awarded to President Jonathan an unconstitutional third term in office as President before the unsuspecting NEC Members of PDP. What a useless venture!

“These people that ensured that Tukur was disgraced out of office are hell-bent to ensure that Muazu also fails in the onerous task that has been entrusted on his shoulders,” Eze said.

On the Rivers State political crisis, Chief Eze told President Jonathan: “The ongoing orchestrated impunity in Rivers State, where the Police Command is being used to harass the Governor and the good people of the State can never be a wise political strategy. Listen to the good people of Nigeria and do the necessary before it will be too bad late.”
