Stop Fouling The Polity In Primitive Struggle For Power – PDP Chieftain Warns Politicians

Ola ‘Kiya, Reporting


POLITICIANS across all political parties in Nigeria have been warned to stop fouling the atmosphere in a primitive struggle for power at the expense of the fundamental purpose of good governance.

People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, gave the warning and highlighted the dangers while fielding questions from journalists in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

He advised warring executive members and leaders of political parties to sheathe their swords in order not to provoke the Nigerian electorate who are the eventual decider of their political fates.

The former governorship aspirant said the present crisis rocking the executives and leadership of some of the political parties in Nigeria might result in provoking the electorate to shift their loyalties to other parties where peace and decorum reign.

“With their ballot papers, the ordinary citizens of this country have effected personnel changes in Aso Rock, the state government houses as well as the national and state legislatures.

“It is evident that despite the gra-gra by the politicians, the people are the repositories of political power.

“They give power to some and deny others democratically,” he noted.

The PDP chieftain observed that since the parties concluded their primaries nearly three months ago and probably because of bitterness arising from the exercises, the leaders and the members of the political parties have indulged in internal self-sabotage as an act of vengeance.

He added that they appear to see nothing wrong with anti-party activities which may be part of the game, but also a disservice to the cause of Nigerian democracy.

“They seem determined to rubbish Nigeria democratic credentials.

“The way they go about it makes you wonder if in their idle moments they spare some serious thoughts for a nation facing clear and obvious existential threats and requires sober heads and a civil tongue to give hope for the present and the future.

“Instead of the politicians to discuss issues of how to pull Nigeria out of the present predicament, they are rather involved in leadership struggle for their personal interest,” he lamented.
