PDP Should Look At Bringing Peter Obi Back Into Its Fold, Says Sowunmi

Segun Sowunmi, a Democrat-owned member of the People’s Democratic Party, has stated that his party needs to look into ways to re-establish Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, in the 2023 election.

Obi reportedly complained about massive delegates bribes and voter buying during the party’s presidential primary and left the PDP in May 2022 for the Labour Party. He also cited the existence of a political cabal working against him.

But now, Sowunmi is requesting that the PDP work to reunite Obi.

You lose the election, you run for the Supreme Court, you lose, but at least you were found to have lost because one of the PDP members, a South eastern man, felt based on the balance of play that Peter Obi was given 6.2 million votes.

Any deep-thinking, fair-minded Nigerian member of the PDP party should be aware that the most important, necessary conversation is to be had about “How do you bring Peter back” now that the drive is organic, Sowunmi said in an interview on Friday during Channels Television’s Politics Today. &nbsp,

Since Atiku Abubakar, the party’s candidate, lost to President Bola Tinubu in the presidential election of 2023, the party has been in a crisis.

Iyorchia Ayu’s suspension and removal resulted in Damagum taking the position of acting chairman. The North Central region’s efforts to replace him with a substantive chairman have, however, caused deep divisions within the party.

Anyanwu and Ude-Okoye, who are pushing for Damagum’s replacement, are now arguing legal grounds for the position of national secretary. &nbsp,

According to Sowunmi, the All Progressives Congress (APC) internal crisis and sudden spring defections are self-inflicted and should have been resolved a while ago.

You can blame your bullies for a certain amount of activity, but you also have to hold yourself accountable for a certain persistent, unreliable lack of creativity, he said.

“People fall prey to President Bola Tinubu’s frailty,” said one person. He has a strong intellect, which I admire. Most people underestimate him at their own risk because he will appear frail, but his brain is that of a giant.
