Former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has mocked the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, over its handling of the intractable leadership crisis
in the party.
Shehu, in a post on his social media platform on Saturday,
made a comparison of how the PDP handled its leadership crisis to the approach
adopted by the Labour Party, LP, in its own situation.
The social critic claimed that if Lamidi Apapa of the Labour
Party were in the PDP, the party would have been petting him with ice cream.
He wrote, “If Lamidi was in PDP, the party would have been
petting him with ice cream.
Recall that the Labour Party, until recently, had been
enmeshed in a leadership tussle, with Lamidi Apapa and Julius Abure fighting
over the position of national chairman.
The crisis followed the controversial suspension of Abure as
the National Chairman of the party.
The crisis took a legal turn when Justice Hamza Muazu of the
High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) barred the chairman and three
other national executive members of the party from parading themselves as
national officers of the party.
However, the Court of Appeal, sitting in Benin City, the
capital of Edo State, recently upheld Abure as the national chairman of the
Labour Party, ending the leadership tussle in the party.
On the contrary, the PDP has been facing existential threat
since before and after the 2023 general election, when former Rivers governor
Nyesom Wike and four governors, including some leaders of the party, worked
against the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Wike has been appointed Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, FCT, by President Bola Tinubu, while he is yet to renounce his
membership in the PDP.
