The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), South Africa Chapter, has said the Party must carry its Diaspora
chapters along more than ever, if it desires to change the status quo at Aso
Rock in 2019.
In a statement by its Director of
Media, Emeka Johnson, PDP stalwarts in South Africa urged the party’s
Constitution Review Committee to widen the playing field for Diaspora participation
and all-inclusive politicking.
Johnson added that PDP needed
those in the Diaspora now more than ever, if it wished to meet the yearnings
and aspirations of Nigerians.
He said: “PDP still have great
minds and articulate political eggheads that would do the yeoman’s jobs highly
needed to change the status quo at Aso Rock. One such veritable arm begging to
be used effectively is the Diaspora PDP.
“If the party means changing the
present Change Mantra and quagmire the nation had unfortunately found herself.
If she means harnessing for the larger good of the abundant human, material and
natural resources, God had bestowed on the people and land of Nigeria. If she
targets merit over mediocrity and desires to join the modern world of growth
and development, the Diaspora arm is important.
“For the umpteenth time I cry
from the wilderness of political oblivion and neglect that the rejuvenation of
the political landscape in my beloved country lies in the abundant resources
prevalent in the Diaspora PDP.
“With over 54 Diaspora chapters
at inception and many smaller branches and units across the globe, one wonders
what the mother body is waiting for than to cash on these seemingly
advantageous qualities and quantities.”
