Segun Sowunmi, Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has revealed the real problem bedevilling the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Responding to questions in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television on Tuesday, which was monitored by Urban Express News, Sowunmi said the major problem of the PDP is reform.
He said: “Essentially, the major issue of the PDP is reform. The problem of the PDP is not pointing an accusing finger at one person, insisting that one person has caused it. Others are saying one person is the devil.
“You need to look at the process you’re running and ask yourself why is it is possible that if we appointed you as the chairman of the Federal Reserve in America, you would dare not do the kinds of things we hear the people here do, because the processes do not give room for that kind of madness.
“Now, if you are running an over-20-year-old party and you have had the benefit of 16 years of being in charge, you should have had some institutional memories of all of these kinds of issues.
“Then, you would have said, okay, in our years in opposition, while the ruling party is busy with whatever they say they are doing in terms of government, can we just be busy with reforming, repairing and recreating ourselves?
“And I must concede that the ones that are fighting on both sides are pretty much people that have been committed to the PDP.”
