The re-elected Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, South-South Zonal Vice Chairman, Dan Orbih, has said that the ongoing crisis plaguing the party is self-inflicted.
Orbih noted that the party’s constitution had been disregarded in favour of personal interests by a few members.
Speaking at the South-South Zonal Congress of the PDP in Calabar on Saturday, the Zonal Vice Chairman urged party members to make the necessary sacrifices to revive and strengthen the party.
He called for the election of officers who would uphold the party’s constitution in the zone, stressing that such individuals must also have the fear of God.
“We must follow the party’s guidelines if we are to revive it. These guidelines are subject to the Constitution. The power to elect new officers of the party is not subject to anything but the constitution.
“We must start rebuilding the party from here. The party cannot dictate who an individual should associate with, nor determine their friends or enemies,” he said.
