“Ohun tí a bá fi ara ?í?e fún, ní m´p?´ l?´w?´ ?ni." - Yoruba Proverb.
Translation:
"Wealth that is earned through hard work lasts longer and comes with blessings" - Yoruba Proverbs.
A structure built on false foundations is bound to collapse quickly. The People's Democratic Party (PDP) was born from a lineage of military rulers. These rulers operated under oppressive regimes, systematically dismantling the very best of Nigeria and forcing those who survived into self-imposed exile for greener pastures.
A thoughtful observer recognizes that the PDP was always fated to fall victim to the storm of retribution and missteps. General Olusegun Obasanjo and his corrupt military generals co-piloted and ravaged the country through their ineffective military control of the government. When a façade of democracy emerged under General Olusegun Obasanjo, after he escaped Abacha's gulag, Nigerians breathed a sigh of relief from those mourning the loss of the legitimate 1993 presidential election of the late Chief MKO Abiola. Unfortunately, President Obasanjo squandered the chance to reshape Nigeria for the better.
Meanwhile, President Olusegun Obasanjo manipulated the political landscape, disregarded the Nigerian constitution, and ruled with impunity, resembling an unrestrained ex-convict determined to extend his ill-gotten power and antisocial relationship with the Nigerian public. Who remembers the Odi village massacre in Bayelsa State? The Odi massacre under President Olusegun Obasanjo was an attack carried out on November 20, 1999, by the Nigerian Armed Forces against the predominantly Ijaw town of Odi in Bayelsa State. Who remembers President Olusegun Obasanjo's third-term agenda, foiled by Sahara Reporters?
The current political struggles and fragmentation experienced by the PDP are not mere coincidences; they are the inevitable fallout from their reckless conduct regarding the Nigerian populace. The coalition of liars and their serial political contestants, who recently crossed to the orphanage party, will soon disintegrate through a power struggle.
The PDP, along with any coalition of self-serving interests that overlook the dreams and labor of the Nigerian people, will ultimately face the harsh consequences of their actions. The careless individuals responsible for Nigeria's stagnation are headed for a historical reckoning. A power struggle is brewing within the PDP ranks. Will the stakeholders of the PDP in this tumultuous time be rewarded by history? Yes! The reckoning days are here for the PDP as the party, with delusion, is giddy for political extinction.
