Due to disgruntle over
selection of PDP leader some angry members of the party today teamed up with
some members of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, to form a new party
to be known as the Peoples Mega Party, PMP.
At the group’s maiden
meeting today March 1st 2016, the members chose Perry Opara, an aide to former
political adviser to Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed Gulak, as its chairman.
While addressing the
meeting,
Opara said;
“The
major people who are in the party are former members of the PDP who are
disenchanted by the high level of corruption, high level of impunity and
high-handedness in the PDP. They have decided to form something very new and
they are of the opinion that they should hand over the party to younger
elements who are less corrupt and who can fight for the interest of the people.
It does not mean that it is only people from the PDP.
We
have APGA chairmen from many states of Nigeria identifying with the new party,
people from Labour Party, LP, and the Accord Party, AP. There are also
disenchanted people from the APC that feel that they want a new place and that
is what it is. Today marks the birth of this new party.” he said
PDP will be gone by the next election, that party is tainted
