Ekiti2022: PDP Has All It Takes, But The Error We Must Avoid... By Olumuyiwa Oluwadare

I have been in a state of incommunicado for a while but I believe the time has come for me to speak out.
Unless we want to decieve ourselves, going by all indices, from inception of this modern democracy in Nigeria, Ekiti State has been a PDP state. But due to the selfish interest, traitors and dictatorship traits that characterised the leadership of our party, also the manner at which the leaders has no respect for the rule of law and laid down ways of politicking, these put together has put the party in mess over and over again, and if care is not taken, it will end the party "PDP" irreparably.
The party has lost her integrity, savoy and followership among key supporters to the opposition who have nothing to offer than to damage the State and the country with empty promises and zero dividend of democracy.
You will agree with me that all parties have their own issues and internal crises, but divide and rule approach of leadership here is causing the PDP family to loose her loyal members and drags the great tenet of the party into huge mud.
My plight on H.E Ayodele Fayose endorsement of a candidate for the next gubernatorial election is not much..... There is nothing bad in throwing your weight behind your favourite but it is irrational and unpatriotic to anoint one and issue curses on others or in another light, making attempts to break ranks and cordial relationship between aspirants and among member of the party.
Osoko should remember the same error was made in the last election which affected the party from emerging while this character put the whole state and the entire party in comatose and total disarray.
The party has all it takes to retain a continuity cap of PDP, but the same error that was committed is back here again in our fold.
We should be a student of healthy politics, with huge political stories and politicking information at our finger's tip, an adage says a stitch in time saves nine, we should not fall into the same ditch of the past.
The truth must be told, Mr Fayose attitude is an injury to the future of our dear party and the state healthy politics.
A good leader will take his followers to the river side, teach them on how to catch fish, release the fish traps to them after training and then stay back and supervises them to see their level of dexterity in fish hunting.
A leader with attributes of enslaving followers and making himself "lord over all" hardly have loyal followers that can stand the test of time.
I call respectfully, in the spirit of sportsmanship upon Osoko group, Repositioning group and other groups to work hand in hand towards bringing the party back to her first love if truly they want the state and the country back and most especially if they are the patrotic party men and women they claim to be. I strongly believe this can be possible if they are really after the interest of the party and not here for selfish interests.
Whatever that needs to be addressed and trashed out for the progress of the party should be done wisely and urgently. These actions and steps should be a fulcrum on which stability,oneness, peace and harmony will be hinged upon across the party lines, within and outside the state, So that they won't get to the river and start grumbling for covering clothes in the next election.
The beauty of politics is to disagree to agree and any discord should be for love and progress, not for hate and divide.
The party has enough green cards to win the next elections with a lot of red cards already on ground for the ruling party both in the state and across the country, but the inability of the PDP to have cohersion of voice and unity of purpose may cause the party bigger blows than the last election.
In the spiritual language, it is usually said that many are called but few are chosen, while in politics and especially in our fold, I made bold to say "many are gathered but few are sincere"... Let all of us check his sincerity to the cause of this great party.
Let us understand and reason along my plights and passion, because one thing I know for sure is that the future generations are not going to ask us what political party you once belong to or what faction you worked with, they will be more interested to know how we contribute to the good, the bad and the ugly that we are handing over to them.
They will ask if we act to stop and possibly unseat the bad leadership that is paddling the canoes of our political terrain to a capside of a raging sea.
Stay focus, stay safe, lean from the past and let us all move forward together.
