TVC E, POLITICS – Aggrieved bigwigs of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have launched a new political platform, the Peoples Mega Party (PMP).
National Coordinator of the yet-to- be registered party Chief Perry Opara , told delegates that the mission of the new political platform is to provide a very focused and patriotic body devoid of negative traits of impunity and confusion.
“The major people who are in the party are former members of the PDP who disenchanted by the high level of corruption, high level of impunity and high-handedness in the PDP,” Opara said at the National Executive Council/National retreat held by the promoters of the party.
“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 be able to fight for the interest of the people,” he added.
Opara who is a close associate of the estranged PDP chieftain and former Presidential aide, Alhaji Ali Ahmed Gulak said that apart from the bigwigs from PDP, there are others from even the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) desirous of pitching their tent with the new party.
However, Opara declined to mention names of those PDP and APC members floating the party, saying no one among them has given permission to make it open. But that does not mean that it is only people from the PDP, there are also people from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) chapters in many states. There are people from the Labour Party and there are some disenchanted people from the ruling party.
