“PDP has failed, we’re coming with mother of opposition alliance” — Ugochinyere
The member representing Ideato Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has failed to fulfill its role as a strong and responsible opposition during a time when the country is facing numerous challenges.
He expressed concern that the party’s inability to effectively challenge the ruling government has left a significant gap which is crucial for holding the government accountable and advocating for the needs of the citizens.
Ugochinyere emphasized the importance of a robust opposition in addressing the pressing issues facing the nation, including economic instability, security concerns, and social unrest.
Ugochinyere made this statement in his hometown of Akokwa, located in the Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, on Sunday evening.
He criticized the PDP governors who recently expressed their support for the National Working Committee of the PDP, led by Ambassador Umar Damagum, by passing a vote of confidence.
Ugochinyere described this action as misguided, arguing that it reflects a disconnect between the leadership and the pressing concerns of the party’s grassroots members.
He urged the governors to reconsider their stance and focus on addressing the challenges facing the party and the nation, rather than merely endorsing leadership that has not effectively responded to the needs of its constituents.
Ugochinyere stated that the leadership of the party is doing the biddings of the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike to ensure that PDP does not rise again as a strong opposition in the country.
He submitted that PDP has never gone this low in its history.
The legislator maintained that forces were being mobilised to rescue the party and form a formidable opposition.
“We will return to the legal trenches, we will continue to challenge the continued stay of Damagum and Samuel Anyanwu, so that posterity will reckon with our efforts.
“If our elders cannot rise to tell Wike to stop this nonsense, we will rise.
“We are mobilising all forces; it will be a decisive battle, we must end this nonsense. PDP or no PDP, opposition leaders are ready”, he submitted.
Ugochinyere used the occasional to reiterate that he has sunk boreholes in 20 communities, renovated schools, provided 1,700 solar powered street lights, donated desks, among other achievements in less than two years.
