Barrister Olusegun Bamgbose, the National Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has advised former President Goodluck Jonathan, to quit partisan politics without further delay.<\/p>\n
According to the senior lawyer, \u201cSince 1999 when Nigeria returned to Democracy, Bayelsa State has been the stronghold of PDP but very unfortunately, they crashed out in the recent Governorship election in the State,\u201d all because of the former President and his kinsmen who threw their weights behind the All Progressives Congress, APC and its candidate, David Lyon.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued to DAILY POST on Sunday, Bamgbose noted that, \u201cThis is certainly the biggest political loss suffered by People Democratic Party in 20 years of democracy in Nigeria. It\u2019s not only disgraceful but very humiliating.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s speculated that the major reason amongst others for the fatal defeat was the tactical support of Goodluck Jonathan for the APC candidate, Duoye Diri.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is no doubt a great backstabbing on the side of Jonathan. It\u2019s really a great betrayal of high order.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe action of the formal President, to say the least, is highly condemnable, immoral and politically unethical.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should have reflected on the fact that it was on the platform of the party he became the Executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s obvious that PDP is experiencing serious internal crises, but not withstanding, he committed a political blunder by permitting his stronghold to be taken over by the enemies.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat really influenced him to do such is unfathomable by me. It\u2019s a political scander.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis action has really worsened the political fortune of PDP in subsequent elections in Nigeria both in South South and the nation as a whole. Jonathan, no doubt he has committed a political sacrilege.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t however subscribe to him being sanctioned because that won\u2019t help in solving the ugly situation. PDP is like a sinking ship.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy humble and candid advice is for the party, well meaning Nigerians and political stakeholders to prevail on our beloved former President to quit partisan politics to save his political image.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne won\u2019t expect him to blow hot and cold by in the future supporting PDP candidate against APC.<\/p>\n
\u201cJonathan has to quit partisan politics as soon as possible. His political future will be in jeopardy if he refused to do this.<\/p>\n
\u201cAPC will certainly mess him up should remain in active politics. It\u2019s high time for Jonathan to quit politics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
