Buhari’s Minister Reveals What Destroyed PDP, Fingers Top Politician

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has revealed what destroyed the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Naija News reports that Keyamo, who is the Director of Communications of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, made this known in a post on Twitter on Thursday.

According to the Minister, said the PDP’s failure to zone the presidency to the South was behind the party’s collapse.

Keyamo also stated that the selfish ambition of the party’s presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, was behind its destruction.

He wrote: “It is now safe to say that the failure of PDP to respect the country’s zoning formula plus ATIKU’S inordinate ambition, destroyed PDP. Simple.”

Naija News reports that the PDP’s failure to respect the country’s zoning formula in picking a presidential candidate and national chairman led to an unfortunate division which birthed the Integrity Group and the G-5.

The G-5 was made up of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State.
