PDP and NIGERIA...
PDP BEYOND THE COURT…
Hope it’s a done deal!

The fact remains that as at the time of the statement of agreement, the Modu led group were at a disadvantage by the last ruling and by the location of where the expected case is to be decided, the backyard of Governor Wike, one of the strong henchmen of Makafi group, a lawyer and one, known to have restored the dignity of the law family in Rivers State after Amechi is believed to have buried it for almost two years prior to his exit as a Governor.
Quite clearly, I was taken aback at the pronouncement confirmed by Modu Sheriff himself after Markafi did on Politics, a Programme anchored by Seun Okinbaloye on Channels TV then. But on a second and deep look, I said to myself that the opportunity to determine which group is the “LIAR GROUP” is finally here, I said the thief, surely one of them, has put the handcuff to his own hands, through this undisputed openly made same statement.
In time past and even until recently, the trade mark of each group has been Modu Sherif can not be trusted and the other say Markafi group are not trustworthy, but now that they have both openly announced to the world that they have agreed to come by whatever the expected judgment from Port Harcourt is, I was waiting patiently with my hammer of submission of which is the LIAR GROUP, that had tormented the spirit of reconciliation. Worst still are the FENCE SEATER members lurking around the corner to jump onboard the winning team. “If you are for Makarfi, I love you and if you are with us in Modu I hail thee, but the wicked fence seating members who are neither here nor there, Chai I pitty una…
My nature is blunt and I got a lot of peace doing that as my reservation is only primed on the integrity of the reality that will unfold or has unfolded, hence my resolve to go with Modu Sherif ab initio having granted Press Conference to Tribune Newspapers in my capacity as the North Central Coordinator of the PDP Ambassadors, clearly, I called for total and unalloyed support for Modu on his assumption of office and has not changed, however, was bitter about Edo and Ondo unnecessary failures.
Well, at this juncture, the judgment like any other thing with expiring date, came, and am SHOCKED that the Markafi group right from the Court premises where my Deputy Chairman, Cairo was waving his peace handkerchief, had started lamenting, complaining and threatening to go to Supreme Court, then I said to my self the LIAR GROUP is after all unveiled, even if I can’t ascertain the veracity of the identity of the actual person doing the “lieing” in there.
This saddened me and I felt, the worse should happen, but no true owner of the house will want it burnt, not even when Governor Fayose came on AIT to say “We” will not allow it and I wonder who the “Wes” are, aloud, I said could it be the “Wes”, that made PDP crash out of the Presidency and consequently traded off several other States or the “Wes” that shared the alleged head-breaking people’s money via Dansuki as being reported by APC confused and self-adjudging government which in 2 years have no new song to sing after the expiration of the infamous “Na PDP Cause Am” album.
It is important to State that this fight has being able to establish the sacrosanct undisputable FACT that “NOBODY” can lay claim to the ownership of the PDP as wrongly claimed by Mummy Anieni at the selected Stakeholders’ Meeting held in Abuja at the heat of the crisis and supported by Prof Jerry Gana and even Mantu who chaired the forum.
Later facts, by Governor Ayo Fayose and Governor Wike too, were debunked by the outcome of this “glorious necessary fight” depicting why brothers should not pretend that all is well and continue to smile while suffering as the legend, Late Fela Anikulapo puts it. The parties should be returned to the Party Officials like in the days of the NPN and not the President or Governors. There must be discipline.
However, after the Port Harcourt judgment which is as good as Modu Sherif winning an away match, one is fit to say, any party man will agree that there is No Victor No Vanquish as both groups were embroiled in a fight for the soul of the party and should not be personalized.
My understanding is that, the former President, GEJ stepped into the matter also to safe the party which made him President, but failed to deliver him for the second round in office, he obviously can not be in any less position to see the party and its people well enough to know the party is above any individual and should not be pocked by anyone,
I see clearly and undoubtedly that, greed by most of the leaders of the party killed the party in the first instance through over baring influence and undue interference in the system of emergence of candidates in the party, which in my several other write ups I have raised and I think should be revisited – The Demons of Impositions
I hope PDP will hence desist from allowing portfolio leaders who don’t deliver their polling unit talk of their wards continue to parade themselves at any level as leaders, again, as the spirit of the present brand of politics in Nigeria is to go back to your home (base), and I am therefore, strongly advocating for serious hammer down on this fact.
The party should never again CONTRACT its campaign out for any reason as done to TAN, which only existed in the minds of its jamboree creators and not even in their hearts, how much more the voting points, that was why, after the merry go round and festivities, PDP started seeing the disconnects, TAN was missing in the LGAs, the villages and off course at GROUND ZEROs, the polling booth where the die is cast!.
Frankly speaking, the new news that flew into town through the Governor Seriake Dickson wonderful team is like others before it to me, welcome and I only hope this time around it is TRULY kept as creed and above board, let no man flout it again, so that we can frankly arrow our POLITICALLY UNSTABLE and UNHARMONIZED APC ENEMIES, by delivering Nigerians from there uncoordinated hunger-invested harrowing governance.
God in his infinite mercies has also helped the party in SANITATION by weeding the chaffs, the left legs who jumped ship, men who turned women because of food and poverty due to draught of intellect, people who are leaders as elected party candidates sighting feeble excuses of a fight they should ordinarily be atop and resolve as their shameless reasons for leaving, these really are the people that brought bad luck to the PDP and are now gone with it, I celebrate The Exit of the Lepers.
I address them as they are, the LEPERS, only them abandon their colony to return to it its ruins, to them, I dedicate this and say proudly, GOOD RIDANCE TO BAD stinking RUBBISH.
Surely, we are strong again.
