The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is mired in an internal crisis, which factional Chairman of its Board of Trustees, Mao Ohuabunwa, blames on years of disregard for the party’s constitution and the personal ambitions of certain leaders. In a recent interview on Arise Television, Ohuabunwa described the party’s conflicts as self‑inflicted, arising from a persistent failure to adhere to its founding rules. He argued that the PDP’s woes stem directly from ignoring its own laws, and that strict compliance with the constitution would have prevented the current challenges.
Ohuabunwa, a former lawmaker who now heads a parallel PDP Board of Trustees, said his faction was created to recover and reconcile a party that has lost its moral direction. He explained that many of the crises are driven by personal ambition and greed, with some members treating the PDP merely as a vehicle for their presidential aspirations. According to him, the party must return to its founding principles and obey its constitution to overcome these difficulties.
The PDP’s internal conflicts and power struggles have hampered its ability to function effectively, drawing criticism of the leadership’s handling of the situation. Some members are calling for reforms and a renewal of the party’s core values. Ohuabunwa’s comments underscore the urgent need for the PDP to address its internal issues, pursue reconciliation, and restore unity.
The internal crisis has significant implications for the party’s future and its capacity to contest upcoming elections. To regain credibility and a moral compass, the leadership must tackle the underlying problems and prioritize adherence to the constitution and core values, ensuring the PDP’s long‑term viability and success.
