Credit Must Be Given To PDP’s Caretaker Committee – Onyema Ugochukwu

Onyema Ugochukwu, the former special adviser on communication to ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo, said Nigerians are desirous of seeing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) return to power in 2019.

Ugochukwu who was the former chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), added that PDP remained the only party that could put a stop to the pall of “confusion and uncertainty” in the country and run the government better.

He said: ”We have to give some credit to the caretaker committee. The tendencies and all that are natural; every political party have people leaning to this way and that way. ”But they’ve been able to come together in the interest of the party to have peaceful congresses and that is a great thing.

”We are not expecting that everybody would be happy. You probably heard that some people went to court on Friday (to stop the congresses) but the court rejected them.

“We’ve gone round to some wards, not all of them. From what we saw, we are quite happy with the turnout. It just shows that the PDP is strong. That’s why people want to come out and participate. There were no impositions.”
