The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, has suggested that the Peoples Democratic Party was built to govern and not to play an opposition role.
Abdullahi said everything began to spiral downward for the PDP after it found itself in a strange place in 2015 as an opposition party.
He stated this on Wednesday while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Breakfast Show.
Abdullahi said Nigerians have everything to thank the ADC for coming on the scene, claiming that the country was headed toward a one-party state before the party came to the rescue.
He said: “PDP was not built to play opposition party—PDP was built to govern. So it found itself in a strange place in 2015 as an opposition party, and then everything began to spill downward from there. Then came this administration, and PDP remains like the potential challenger for power again.
“So I don’t know if it was a deliberate policy of this government or it’s something that some people just decided to undertake by themselves, to undermine or take advantage of the internal contradictions in the opposition party and to make sure they are no more.
“In the situation we are in today, I am not saying this because I’m in ADC, Nigerians have to thank ADC for coming on the scene. Why? We are inexorably heading to a one-party state.”
