A senator, Stella Oduah, said the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had not learnt from its past mistakes, contrary to recent public “undertakings” by its leadership.She said at the News Agency of Nigeria Forum in Abuja that the party had resumed the denigration of internal democracy characterised by impunity and imposition of candidates on members and other misdeeds.
Ms. Oduah recalled that impunity, imposition, disregard for members and other acts of irregularities in the party’s activities led to its losses in the 2015 general elections.
She said that some of those traits, especially imposition of candidate on members in utter disobedience to internal democracy tenets, were recorded in the party’s recent governorship primary election in Anambra.
According to the lawmaker, who was an aspirant in the governorship race but withdrew hours before the primary election, the party did not employ due process in conducting the exercise.
She said that those in charge of the primary imposed a candidate on the members and disenfranchised other aspirants and delegates.
