Chief Alexander Mwolwus, a
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain in Plateau State, on Tuesday lambasted
former President Olusegun Obasanjo for his recent comments.
He stated that the retired
General’s plot was to discredit the party, while promoting his personal
interest ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Obasanjo, had in a statement on
Monday, told Nigerians not to take the apology offered by PDP serious, and had
described it as a corrupt political party.
But Mwolwus described Obasanjo’s
pronouncement as “very unfortunate and selfish in nature”.
He described PDP’s apology to
Nigerians through its National Chairman as “a right step in the right
direction’”, adding that “only great men own up to their mistakes”.
“If PDP had apologized willfully,
having owned up to its mistakes, I shouldn’t be castigated for that because
every human organisation has its own limitations”, he told NAN.
“Even though OBJ’s plots to
discredit PDP for his own political party, he seems to have missed it and not
knowing what he is doing.
“He is the most ungrateful
Nigerian leader, who never knew how PDP was formed.
“But all the same, his party will
not be anywhere close to having the confidence of Nigerians if that is the way
he wants to go drumming for support to it.
“Obasanjo was never a member of
PDP but out of sheer pity and magnanimity, the party brought him out of prison
and made him president on a platter of Gold”, he added.
Mwolwus futher said “we made him
who he is today, yet he had the guts to spit and shout against us”.
The PDP chieftain accused the
ex-president of introducing corruption and corrupting the National Assembly
with his failed third term ambition.
On the list of looters released
by the Federal Government, Mwolwus called it lopsided, wondering why the names
of those who jumped from PDP to APC were omitted.
“By that list, President Buhari
ended up disappointing his ardent admirers and supporters.
“If people who looted and jumped
into APC and those in APC that were caught red handed are not in the list, but
only PDP members, then there is question mark on it”, he noted.
