Group begs PDP founding fathers to save party from collapse

A pressure group in the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), “Professionals in PDP,” on Friday urged the party’s founding fathers to intervene and prevent the party from fading into obscurity.

In a statement issued by its Chairman, Sam Segun-Progress, the group lamented that the growing influence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and some members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) was detrimental to the party’s overall growth and success in future elections.

The statement read: “The shameful activities of the acting National Chairman and the National Secretary have continued to portray the party as a mere tool in the hands of the FCT Minister.
