The National Alliance for Democratic Governance (NADG) has declared that the decision of the 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to reinstate Senator Sam Anyanwu, as Secretary is a bad omen for the party.

The alliance said instead of the believe in some quarters that the move will usher in calm and resurgence for the opposition party, Anyanwu’s reinstatement is bound to destroy the PDP.

The group stressed that handing over the structure of PDP to those that are “sworn-anti-party activists working with external forces to undermine the party has only handed the PDP to its hell-bent undertakers.”

In a statement in Abuja on Thursday, President and National Coordinator of the group, Comrade James Ezema, said “PDP’s penchant for mistreating the South East has finally landed the party in trouble.

“Let us avert our minds to the real implications of the shenanigan that transpired at the 100th NEC meeting of the party, recently. The bottom line is that after all said and done, the party handed its structures to the fronts of external forces led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) government, Nyesom Wike, who had bragged about working against the PDP in the 2023 presidential election and how he intends to work for the APC, in the 2027 presidential election.

“These persons will now set up the committees and structures that will usher in the party’s national convention, if it ever holds, the products of the convention will in turn set up the structures to midwife the primary election that will, at best, produce a weak presidential candidate that cannot pose a threat to the APC, should the PDP survive till 2027.

“It is, therefore, no brainer that the recent NEC decision has set the stage for the funeral of the PDP, a party that mistreats a faithful wife to please its wayward concubines,” it stated.

NADG, said “Many are aware that PDP finally imploded ahead of the 2023 presidential election when South East chieftains of the party like Mr. Peter Obi, Engr. Dave Umahi and others dumped the party once it became clear that it was not ready to do justice by zoning its 2023 presidential ticket to the South East region.

“Indeed, PDP’s failure to correct the injustice of 2023 a few years to the 2027 election, coupled with its refusal to respect the stand of the South East regarding National Secretary position to stabilize the party, resulted in the current manifestation of its final implosion today.

“Now the party’s chieftains have left to join the coalition and with the impending consequences of disrespecting the South East caucus of the party, the pages of history will remember the Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagun, as the man, who presided over PDP’s final funeral,” the group said.
