Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has blamed conflicting court judgment for the lingering crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the erstwhile self-styled largest political party in Africa
He said that it is “unfortunate that the Nigerian environment is such that have conflicting court judgments.’’
The ex-president spoke when the zonal representatives of the PDP Board of Trustees (BOT), led by its Chairman, Senator Walid Jubril, paid him a courtesy visit in his Abuja residence.
Dr. Jonathan however said that he would intervene to resolve the crisis of leadership that has held the party by the juggler, saying that the party must rise to the occasion of providing Nigerians with a vibrant opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Unfortunately, we have challenges, but I think you should not be discouraged. Challenges are part of life, it comes up in homes, religious places what is important is our ability to resolve them. This should not be beyond us, but I believe that collectively, we can resolve it.
“Any sincere PDP member should know that PDP is superior to any individual, and that members have sacrificed their interests for the party. Even the nation expects a more vibrant opposition. “I have been talking to individuals but not in a way that is exposed to media but I believe I should do more.” [myad]
