Rebuilding the Peoples Democratic Party is not an easy task, says the national leadership of the opposition party.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, revealed to Punch over the weekend, that while the rebuilding has been difficult, several forces are also working against the process.
“We have been rebuilding, but it is not easy. We are rebuilding, but there are different forces, and contending interests (working against it). It is not easy.
“On one hand, we are dealing with a ruthless ruling party, and we also have some divisive elements in our party who are genuinely accepting some influence in the administration of the party.”
“Knowingly or unknowingly, they are embarking on distractions and distractions that would rather be in the interest of the ruling party than our growth.”
“But since we lost the election, we have tried to remain focus and retain the support of a very large number of our members to remain focus in opposing this government. Some of our members misconstrue an opposition party to be a party that insults people because that was what the APC was doing.”
“People want us to insult the President and the ruling party to remain in opposition. Because we are not doing that, our people are not comfortable with that.
“They believe that we are too soft and they believe that we are too academic. They want us to be insulting the people. It was not by insulting the former President that gave the APC victory. We fuelled partisan support for the APC in some part of the country.”
