In a scathing critique of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), the Director of Communications to Senator Ned Nwoko, the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, in the National Assembly (NASS), Hon. Gloria Okolugbo, has described the once-dominant political party, PDP as a “lifeless carcass,”.
She said this signals the growing dissatisfaction among prominent members and the public with the party’s current state.
The Director of Communications spoke with journalists on Tuesday January 22, 2025, in Asaba, the Delta State capital without mincing no words in outlining the party’s failures, accusing it of losing touch with its foundational principles and the Nigerian people.
Hear her: “But there is the need certainly to make the people understand that what you think you are carrying, and you think you are carrying a structure for PDP. It’s a carcass.
“Sooner or later, it will show that it’s a carcass. Is there any time that you go into an uncompleted building to stay and it will feel like it’s a mansion?
“It’s a duplex, but it is a carcass. It has been stripped of everything. It has nothing. So though you are saying that it is a duplex, it is the carcass of a duplex.
“So you cannot, where there used to be AC, there is no AC. Where there used to be beds, there is no bed.
So you can go into the carcass of a duplex and sleep on the floor. It will be like you are sleeping in the forest. It’s a carcass that is left, unfortunately.
“For some of us, it is very painful because we built PDP. When some of the people who are enjoying in government now were busy actually collecting names for APC, without explaining to the people why they were collecting the name, they are the ones enjoying the government now ,but we were busy building it.
“So it’s not a very good thing for us,
and I don’t think it was an easy or careless decision that the distinguished senator made.
“It was a carefully considered decision, and he has been going through the process of seeing”, she added.
