Why Peter Obi should return to PDP – Sowunmi
A Chieftain of the People Democratic Party, Segun Sowunmi, has urged his party to do everything possible to convince the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi to return to the party, describing him as the only candidate that can defeat President Bola Tinubu in the next general election.
He said it is unfortunate that the party has been blaming its misfortune on the ruling APC whereas it has failed to critically assess issues and crises leading PDP to the precipice.
Sowunmi advised in an interview on Friday during Channels TV’s Politics Today programme, urging the PDP to work to bring Obi back.
‘’One of the people who was a PDP member, a South eastern man who felt based on the balance of play that the South-East was excluded, Peter Obi, was allocated 6.2 million votes, you lose the election, you run to the Supreme Court you lose, at least you were adjudged to have lost.
‘’Any deep-thinking, fair-minded Nigerian man who is in the political party called the PDP ought to know that the greatest, necessary next step is to have the conversation about: ‘How do you bring Peter back’ now that the energy driving him is organic,’’ said Sowunmi.
Sowunmi further explained that the internal crisis and sudden spring in defections to the All Progressives Congress are self-inflicted and should have been sorted out a while back.
“There is a level of activity that you can blame your bullies for, but there is a certain level of recurring, continuous lack of creativity that you have you have to hold yourself responsible for,” he said.
“One of the things that people do is fall prey to the frail nature of President Bola Tinubu. I know him for his intellectual capacity. He will look frail, but his brain is that of a giant, so most people underestimate him to their peril.
‘’The painful thing is that my side is choosing to pretend that it is an easy material to defeat in politics. What do they know that he doesn’t know?”
