Killing PDP As A Party Is The Right Thing To Do – Dr Junaid
A Second Republic parliamentarian, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has urged
Nigerians to ensure that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, does not
survive after the next general election.
He said the proposed national conference will not yield results since the PDP will have the final say on it.
“When a party has failed to deliver on its own promise, it’s only fair for it to be allowed to die,” he stressed.
“Instead of making our contextual problems more manageable, PDP has made our country worse. Now, every Nigerian thinks of his region, zone, state, local government and even within the local government areas, people are talking about separate wards. To the PDP, power is something to be abused. When it is your turn, you abuse power and then it must be my turn some day to assume power and abuse it.”
“PDP is so full of contradictions. If PDP is allowed to survive, democracy would be sacrificed in Nigeria. I believe that there will never be democracy in Nigeria until the PDP is destroyed; whether it is destroyed by external forces or it is destroyed by its own internal contradictions, by which it is made to implode.
“There will be no democracy; no peace and security in this country until the PDP is destroyed. It is the responsibility of any patriot to ensure that PDP is encouraged to destroy itself.
Once we do that, we can now start asking fundamental questions.”In a telephone interview with Punch, Dr. Junaid, who is the national coordinator of the Coalition of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, said ‘killing’ the PDP should be a national priority for Nigerians and not the proposed national conference.
