Osita Chidoka, a former Minister of Aviation and a member of the People’s Democratic Party, has warned that unless prompt reforms are implemented, the party could face extinction. Chidoka also highlighted that the party experienced losses in key areas to the Labour Party during the recent election.
These comments were shared during his appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on a Wednesday.
He said, “The PDP in itself is a government that was in power for 16 years. Its instinct is that of a government party and not that of an opposition party, and it has taken us eight years now to begin to realise.
“We are smelling the coffee that it’s not four years and we are back or we are coming back the next day.
“Now, we are beginning to see that PDP itself needs to be reformed. It needs to renew and reimagine itself to be able to begin to play the role of opposition, knowing full well that we have a politician as president.
“If PDP doesn’t get its act together, it will be an extinct party. So, we need to wake up, smell the coffee, find the kind of leadership that will represent us in an opposition atmosphere, and begin to do the work of the opposition.
“We must do the work of mobilization and imbibe the work of technology.
“[The] last four years have taught us a bitter lesson that a young party can come up and take away PDP strongholds in an election cycle.”
