A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Sam Ohuabunwa, has said that he wouldn’t be resting well assuming he were in the shoes of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the main opposition party.
Ohuabunwa said that various meetings being held in Port Harcourt between Governor Nyesom Wike and other opposition candidates and camps, would have given him a few restless nights.
Since his loss at the PDP presidential primaries by Atiku Abubakar, the Rivers State Governor has been in romance with some candidates of various political parties.
The most recent of such meetings was between the Governor and the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
Also, showing up on Channels Television on Tuesday night, Ohuabunwa accused the PDP leadership for underestimating competitors such as Peter Obi, warning that such acts is hazardous.
He stated assuming he was Atiku’s ally, he would take every one of those ovatures and meetings in Port Harcourt seriously, demanding that in Nigeria there’s no political meeting that is in vain.
“One of the greatest failures of people is to underrate competitors. As the CEO for a multi-national company for many years, I do not underrate competition no matter how small they are.
“And every move the competitor makes in the marketplace causes an alarm for me and I deploy forces to counter those quickly because you don’t have a second chance.
“The problem of the party may not be as bad as it is looking but the media say perception is everything and we need to pour water on this and put it off.
“Certainly, all those political meetings everybody is coming to, if I’m the Chairman of the political party or the presidential candidate I don’t think I’ll sleep well or maybe because I don’t have the kind of heart or spirit that they have. I won’t sleep well.
“The next morning I’ll ensure that I fly down to Port Harcourt or wherever I need to fly and pour water on it and close this chapter so that we can move forward.
“That’s my candid advice and I’ve offered this advice through proxies to the party leadership that we need to harness our resources. This party is bleeding right now…the party has had enough time to sort out this problem.
“The problem is that this is not the only one. Just that this is the most visible one. And if we’re taking so much time to finish this, how are we going to deal with the others?… I think that the party leadership has a call, they should be humble, dynamic and strategic with the party.”
