“Does PDP not know it takes more than press releases, social media name calling, WhatsApp activism, TV discussions & You Tube postings to create the needed groundswell of support for electoral victory? Truth told: there is no PDP campaign afoot out there!” google.com/amp/s/www.this…
”His presidential campaign team is made up of mostly apathetic, semi-tired, disenchanted and even angry and confounded persons. With the exception of a few brilliant, committed members, there are just too many people too distracted by their own battles for political survival...”
“The disorientation caused by the questionable prominence of returnees, the displacement of some power blocs & unresolved issues of power sharing explains why the presidential candidate, a prominent returnee himself, appears orphaned today.” google.com/amp/s/www.this… @DemolaRewaju
“It was his diligent efforts at doing the wrong things that landed him and the party where they are today. His campaign is like a battalion will self- destruct, with sleepwalking reflexes showing that a solid, multi-faceted foundation has been laid for defeat.”
“The inertia is apparent. The disenchantment of the party’s major stakeholders stares you in the face everywhere. Unmentionable tales of confusion, malice and pointless nihilism affronts you in every conversation with those who should be in the forefront of the PDP engagement.”
“Is it possible that the PDP has not really learnt anything from 2015 fiasco? Is the party doing its best to prove to die-hard enthusiasts, who are looking at it with inexplicable hope and courage, that it has really learnt nothing?”
“Was it not the usual politics of imposition and impunity that produced the current party chairman? Was it not the characteristic PDP last minute horse-trading that produced Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as party presidential in party primaries he was expected to lose?”
“Did Atiku quickly create group cohesion, or a pool of persons and activities that would keep issues and budding loyalties warm after he won? Did he not take off to Dubai instead; returning weeks later to tender an overrated “personal” policy document...”
“Did he not take off to Dubai instead; returning weeks later to tender an overrated “personal” policy document that did not show enough depth or sense of history and was not presented as a PDP document deriving from the PDP manifesto. Did he harmonize things or consult...”
“The clear disconnect between the soul of the party, returned prodigal sons of the party, the party’s presidential candidate & the 2019 project is obvious to the point of being scandalous. That is why someone must tell PDP that reprehensible bungling is not a type of strategy.“
“There is no celebration where PDP is headed with its awkwardly prancing dance troupe. The party still has more baggage than it is willing to admit. The leadership is part of the problem,even as the SE is virtually lost,notwithstanding the choice of a running mate from the zone.”
“The issue in the South East is partly due to the poor handling of the aftermath of the choice of running mate and partly due to the political ambitions of some actors from the zone.”
“The other grouse, unfortunately gaining currency at the national level, is that Obi is always speaking in first person singular, always talking about himself and his achievements without reference to Atiku and also never acknowledging the brains and teams behind his successes.”
“Are the reflexes of the candidate a foretaste of a Govt that will be run without consultation and without a clear, cohesive and sustainable development strategy for the nation? An opposition has perfected the art of scoring own goals has done most of the work for its opponents.”
