Former spokesperson of the Labour Party, Kenneth Okonkwo has claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP leaders are now servants to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Okonkwo said the main opposition party should blame itself for the crisis destabilising it, blaming the leadership chaos on the appointment of Nyesom Wike as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT by the APC government.
According to Okonkwo, President Bola Tinubu’s appointment of Wike reduced PDP’s political standing as an opposition party.
Speaking on Channel Television’s programme on Friday, Okonkwo a popular Nollywood actor turned politician, blamed PDP for accommodating some members, who worked against the party in the 2023 elections.
He said, “Look at what is going on in the PDP. For instance, some people came out as G5 and worked against the interest of the party, not covertly but overtly, and everyone saw it. You accommodated them and then gave excuses for them.
“Normally, when you accept such things, it would start graduating, now they want to take over the party and they’ve been given an appointment.
Then they would go ahead to hijack the party and when they hijack it, the true members of the party would become servants to the servant because their main leader is now a servant to the APC by being a minister in the APC and the remaining ones are servants to that leader, meaning the PDP is now a servant of servant to the APC.”
