The Senior Special Assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has admitted his fellow PDP party members are pretenders and the party might die soon if nothing is done fast to reform it.
According to Okupe, APC has convinced Nigerians to see PDP as a corrupt party which has not helped the party positively. Okupe was one of the greatest critics of President Muhammadu Buhari during the last election campaign and openly lashed out at APC authoritatively telling them they can never rule Nigeria and had always said PDP was the best party and best option for Nigerians.
The former SSA, however took to his Facebook page to disclose this;
“The time has come for the PDP, if it must remain politically relevant, to embark on a total overhaul and reform itself. It must engage Nigerians in a new coalition for the sole purpose of putting our dear country on the path to true, real and the enduring change that will, once and for, all establish us as a major global player, not pretenders that we presently are.
“The PDP must reform lest it dies, God forbids, a painful and insidious death.” Continue....
“The party (PDP) has suffered very serious bashing from the sustained avalanche of assaults from the gigantic propaganda machinery of the now ruling party — the APC.
“The credibility of the party as a veritable political alternative to the APC has been nearly irreparably damaged. Some of the recent disclosures and more that may come up from the impending probes will further damage the national acceptability of the party.
“At the end of the day, the APC may not meet the expectations of Nigerians or may, in fact, fail outright over time but the PDP, as it is presently constituted, will not be an acceptable alternative to the majority of Nigerians now or in the future.”
