The National Organising Secretary
of the National Caretaker Committee (NCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Senator Abdul Ningi, has insisted that the exit of former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, his erstwhile deputy, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and some
Governors elected on the platform of the party to the All Progressives Congress
(APC), was not responsible for its loss of the 2015 presidential election.
Ningi stated this on Tuesday when
he issued a nomination form to Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, for the party’s ticket for
the November 18 Anambra State governorship election.
He said the PDP had risen from
the ashes of the defeat and was now ready to return to power in 2019.
“We said one of our cardinal principles is
that PDP is not a one-man party. This party has individuals that left beginning
with Obasanjo, Atiku, and President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua died.
“That has been our plight. This
party can do without a single individual or groups of individuals. Five of our
governors left, we were wounded but not defeated, and we are rising up from
ashes of those who have left,” Ningi boasted.
On the recent leadership crisis
in the party, Ningi said it had strengthened the PDP.
“We are also happy that the
crisis has given us the opportunity to look inwards, to look at mistakes, look
at where we went wrong and try to make amends.
“This party has also left it
doors open for those who have left to come back because PDP is their natural
turf. Alot of them have discovered that where it matters is this party,” he
stated.
