Factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT), Mao Ohuabunwa, has attributed the ongoing crisis within the party to years of disobedience to its constitution and unchecked personal ambitions of some leaders.
Ohuabunwa made the remarks on Monday in an interview, stressing that the party’s internal wranglings are largely self-inflicted.
“We got to this point for no other reason than disobedience to our own constitution.
“If we had kept to our laws and obeyed our own rules, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Unfortunately, we have refused to learn our lessons,” he said.
The former lawmaker, who now heads a parallel PDP BoT, said his faction was formed to recover and reconcile the party, which he claims has lost its moral compass.
He further explained that much of the turmoil within the PDP stems from personal ambition and greed, accusing some members of treating the party merely as a vehicle for their presidential aspirations.
