Former Senator representing Benue North-West in the
National Assembly, Joseph Waku, has described the
‘resurrection’ of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) as a
danger signal to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to him, the massive turn-out and solidarity
which the PDP enjoyed during its last national convention
shows that the party is on course to sack the APC-led
federal government.
He added that unless some members of the APC purge
themselves of impunity, the chances of the Party to
remain in power beyond 2019 remain slim.
Waku told the Sun newspaper: “From the faces of the
people I saw at the convention amidst jubilant mood, I
think Nigeria is beginning to see a strong opposition that
will put the ruling party on its toes. That convention was
an experimental convention to see if people are still there.
“And from what I saw, people are still there and even
looking cheerful. From what I watched on the television,
there was no dull moment. I think it is a healthy
opposition.
“With the new development, the ruling party will now be
mindful enough not to do anything that will undermine the
rights of every member to aspire for any position. If it
does, there will be a counter change. APC is now a
pregnant woman; no one can predict what child it will
bear.
“What the PDP did at its recent convention is a danger
signal for the APC. Let nobody deceive you, it is a danger
signal.
“There are quite a number of people in the APC who have
impunity in their DNA. My advice to such people is for
them to begin to have a rethink. If the impunity in their
DNA is not treated, they will be a target for a counter
change.
“It is regrettable that many of those who came from the
PDP to join the APC perfected the art of impunity and
even made things worse than what PDP used to do.
“Therefore, if the PDP could make good its words to
discard the idea of impunity, APC will have crisis unless
the leadership stops the impunity of running the party like
a one man show.”
