Jonathan responsible for PDP crisis —Ogbulafor

Former Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Vincent Ogbulafor, has blamed the party’s crisis on former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. He also said PDP had a zoning pattern that had worked for it in the last 16 years,

stressing that the best thing Jonathan should have done was to support a northern candidate in 2015. Ogbulafor, who spoke in an exclusive interview with Vanguard, said: “The person who caused the failure of PDP is Jonathan. PDP had internal democracy, a zoning pattern which worked for them for 16 years, and we agreed at a meeting that power would stay in the North for eight years before it returns to the South for another eight years.

“You will not say Yar’Adua ruled for eight years; not even for four years, because he was sick. The best thing Jonathan would have done was to bring a Northerner and make him President and agree that when he finishes, power will come to the South and if it is him again, then he will contest. “Doing that, the North will be happy; that was my feeling, and that was why I said that power is still in the North because we agreed eight years each for the two zones.
