Why this development in PDP is a good omen. Every “student” of politics will tell you that without such disagreement over interest aggregation, there won’t be political progress. Political parties do undergo a certain level of implosion or explosion depending on from where pressure is applied to its core. So those who see this development in the PDP as a bad omen do not pray for the much needed evolutionary process that will help grow the Nigerian political system. The PDP was formed by five major groupings that pretended that pushing out the military was their major concern. However after pushing out the military, they allowed the same people they pushed out discard their uniforms and hijack the vehicle that was used to push them out. That’s why in all these things we have retired military officers, Police officers, Customs Officers playing one key role or another. But hopefully, I pray this development go well, so that Nigerians would be able to distinguish between the carpet baggers and those who truly want to serve. I think it is time for them to be shocked into reality and break up so we know who is who. I expect a lot of good tidings to come out of this development in PDP and I am of the persuasion that Mr. President would be doing this nation a great service by calling the bluff of Atiku (who with all due respect, will never be president of Nigeria), Kwankwanso and the rest. He should allow them go their way. This will give him an opportunity to test his popularity and acceptability by Nigerians. And in view of that, it will ginger him to do more and deliver on most of his election promises so we can have something to hold him by. Hopefully, our votes may once again begin to count. If Mr. President succumbs to the threats from Atiku and co, he is wasting a very brilliant opportunity through which the ‘renegades’ would have known their real political worth. Some of them masquerading as political assets are in real terms political liabilities. Many of them are spent forces that cannot win a councillorship election in their wards, but ‘swagger’ around as national kingmakers due to the high level opacity that envelopes our political system and the unbridled patronage that they all like vampires suck the blood of this country’s political life.
