Peoples Democratic Party after its defeat in the first phase of
the general elections, the party has warned that Nigeria may
become a one party state.
Its National Auditor, Alhaji Adewole Adeyanju, who stated
this on Thursday in Abuja, warned the All Progressives
Congress against turning Nigeria to a one party state.
Adeyanju, in a statement made available to journalists in
Abuja ahead of the second phase of the elections, pointed
out that a one party state was dangerous for the nation's
nascent democracy.
Adeyanju said rather than dumping PDP for the APC because
of its brilliant performance in the last elections, "members
should go back to the drawing board, put on their thinking
caps and plan ahead of future elections, that is what is
expected of a good politician, who really wants to serve his
or her community".
He added, "Our nascent democracy needs strong opposition,
which will spur any ruling party to work hard for good
governance. Rushing to the APC by PDP members, especially
the so-called bigwigs, is not the answer to the current
predicament of the PDP and it is dangerous to our nascent
democracy. Rather we should come together to review our
poor outing and look for a way forward."
He expressed optimism that if PDP leaders could come
together and put their acts together in a proper perspective
once again, the party would surely bounced back having
being in power for almost 16 years and based on its
achievements.
