The Delta State Coordinator, PDP One Voice, a political pressure group within the Party, Hon. Pudiya Biakpara has described former Governor of Niger State, Alhaji Babangida Aliyu as an asset to the PDP and a key player in the politics of North and Nigeria as a whole.
Honourable Biakpara who stated this while speaking on some national political issues in Warri,Delta State said members of the PDP must remain focused and united to have a chance of winning the presidential election in 2023.
He observed that in the 2015 general election,the PDP did not have a good strategy to win the presidential election as they depended largely on the power of incumbency which was obviously nullified by the power of international interest and politics.
Honourable Biakpara,a party Chieftain from Burutu Local Government of Delta State, advised that the party should learn from the mistakes of the past rather than making worse political miscalculations, as there are already early warning signs which should be clearly avoided.
While maintaining that the PDP should stop putting the blame of the loss of the 2015 presidential election on individuals or groups, saying such accusations will be counter productive. Stressing that Alhaji Babangida Aliyu remained a strong unifying factor in the north with a strong base that the PDP needs.
Honourable Biakpara expressed happiness that the PDP later towed the line of maturity and rescinded the unnecessary suspension .
The Coordinator ,PDP One Voice noted that Nigerians have already perceived the APC as a failed project and are willing to give PDP another shot but must first put it’s house in order or the APC will exploit any infighting amongs them.
