  • Osita Okechukwu accused the PDP of fostering a culture of impunity that could lead Nigeria towards a one-party political system
  • He criticized the PDP’s breach of the rotational convention in the 2023 election, arguing it alienated southern voters and caused consequences

Osita Okechukwu, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Director-General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of being the root cause of Nigeria’s gradual shift towards a one-party system.

In a statement issued in Abuja, Okechukwu dismissed allegations by opposition parties and critics that the APC is plotting to make Nigeria a one-party state.

Instead, he blamed the PDP, citing what he described as the party’s “culture of impunity” during its 16 years in power (1999-2015).

He said, “They are inflicted by the humongous culture of impunity and the bandits of multi-colours they planted in our political culture during their years in power. If Nigeria ever becomes a one-party state, the PDP will be responsible.”

Okechukwu also criticized the PDP for breaching the rotational convention in the 2023 presidential election. He argued that the party’s decision to field former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its candidate alienated the southern electorate and led to electoral consequences.

“Imagine the utter breach of the rotation convention by the PDP leadership, erroneously believing that Atiku Abubakar would rally the northern electorate to secure victory in the 2023 presidential election. They are now justifying their actions with flawed arguments about South and North rule since 1999, as if Nigeria’s history began in 1999,” he added.

Efforts to obtain comments from the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, and his deputy, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi, were unsuccessful. They did not respond to calls, messages, or WhatsApp inquiries.
