It is true that the Peoples Democratic Party is the most sophisticated party in Nigeria, but it lacks the power to maintain the virtue and the drive to steer the country out of the numerous predicaments which we found ourselves today.
At its inception, the PDP ventured out with the appointment of gifted people like Prof Dora Akunyili, Oby Ezekwesili, Nasir el-Rufai, Nuhu Ribadu, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (who in her latter days failed to keep her head above the incompetent Johnathan administration), Bola Ige, among others.
Nigeria became debt-free with the external reserves at an encouraging level. The banking industry witnessed a landmark reform.
Sadly, so soon, we have witnessed the demise of the PDP, a party that lacks morality, vision, test for good governance and love of citizens in its heart. Theologian Dietrich Bonheffer says: The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children. How schoolchildren were taken in their sleep by a group of bandits, only the Johnathan administration and all the PDP leaders could answer this question.
