PDP lost 2015 Presidential Election Due To Selfishness Of Party Members – Tony Anenih

Onetime Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, Tony Anenih, on Tuesday said the selfish interest of some members led to the party’s lose in 2015.

He made the remark when the leadership of Jerry Gana strategy review and inter-party affairs committee paid him a visit in Abuja.

The Former Minister urged members of the party to forget about the Presidency until the tenure of Buhari expires.

 His words, “When Buhari’s tenure finishes then we know who takes over from him. When he finishes his tenure there will be more conventions on both sides and God will lead us to choose somebody who will help Nigeria.

“Maybe he may not be a party member now, either APC or PDP, but if God says that is the person, we will vote for him.

“God will direct the party to go and bring him. If He says it is President Muhammadu Buhari, of course, he can finish his tenure, but one day he will hand over. So what is important is to organise a party.

“Right from 2014, we have missed many opportunities to reorganise PDP. It is because of the selfish interest of some party leaders that PDP is where it is today.

“PDP should have been in power now but everybody wants to be presidential candidate, national chairman. It is never done.”
