With the expected consequences flowing from the People’s Democratic Party’s reinstatement of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as its National Secretary against the position of South East PDP and the exodus of the party’s heavyweights into the All Democratic Alliance adopted by the coalition movement, Deji Elumoye writes that the days of the PDP appear numbered.
In a popular interview with a national newspaper way back in 2008, at the People’s Democratic Power’s height of power, the party’s National Chairman at the time, late Chief Vincent Ogbulafor, boasted that the PDP would rule Nigeria for 60 years. At that time, the power was already showing some signs of dysfunction. But it did not matter to him.
He said, “Some time ago, I used to read in the newspapers that the umbrella of the PDP is torn. Each time I read that, I would laugh and then say to myself that the umbrella is still strong and very intact and ready to accommodate more people.
