PDP Caretaker Committee misadventure in Ekiti

PDP Caretaker Committee misadventure in Ekiti

By Sam Oluwalana

Activities of the opposition People’ls Democratic Party, (PDP) in Ekiti State in recent time have shown that the party is dwindling and will soon go into oblivion.

It is not unusual for a political party to be out of government as no condition is permanent, but when such a party now turns its period of interregnum to embark on things that may likely jeopardize the future of its members, it calls for concern.

From available record, since the imposition of a caretaker committee on the PDP in the state, it has continued to move from grace to disgrace. The committee members, rather than facing their assignment, are only interested in causing trouble in the state by dishing out lies of high magnitude to the general public.

The caretaker committee of the PDP in Ekiti has come to further disunite and cause disaffection to its party members, adding more salt to their injury as well as inflicting more wounds that may take a very long time to heal.

This is a committee that has not seen anything good in the administration of Dr Kayode Fayemi and the All Progressives Congress (APC) and, rather than embarking on constructive criticism expected of a formidable opposition, it has been tales of lies upon lies.

The PDP caretaker committee’s conducts had boosted the belief that the entire party structure lacks focus and that there is confusion in high places as well as its entire structure. Or how can one describe a situation whereby the national headquarters of the party sends a bunch of misfits into the state?

From day one, the committee was dis-jointed and has no clear-cut agenda except to abuse the state government whose character and workings they know nothing about. Just weeks after their arrival, they started a war amongst themselves with the chairman disowning his secretary publicly. The national secretariat, in a strange twist, decided that in order to settle the matter, sent another set of four “strangers” to diffuse tension among its juveniles.

The APC, as a well organised and focussed political party, was built on the solid rock and no amount of campaign of calumny and orchestrated lies can make it sway from its path to provide good governance to the people of Ekiti State.

Right from the starting point, the mission of APC in the state is well spelt out and till the last day, it will be no retreat no surrender. The wailers can continue to blink to justify their godfathers’ pay.

For a party that finds it absolutely difficult and tasking to organize itself and put the house in order, how then will it be able to point flaws in government, that is if there is any.

The APC in the state, for the umpteenth time, encourages and counsels the opposition PDP, especially members of the caretaker committee, to first remove the logs in their eyes before they attempt to remove the pecks in others’ eyes. Enough of the lies.
