Former presidential aide, Dr. Doyin Okupe has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will bounce back despite the fact that another illustrious member of the party, Senator Ken Nnamani, left it.
Okupe, who was Senior Special Assistant to President Jonathan on Public Affairs, said that while Nnamani’s absence will be missed become of stellar qualities, the party will throng ahead with those still left behind.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Okupe said: “I was privileged to have been one of a few high powered select group of associates of Fmr senate president ken Nnamani whom he briefed of his intention to leave the Pdp a few weeks ago.. There were emotional pleas from many for him to review his decision.
But in spite of the palpable and tremendous pressure mounted on him at that meeting, he remained resolute though as usual very polite.
For Ken Nnamani the die was cast and the golden curtain has fallen on his Pdp performance Stage. He was indeed one of our “Golden Boys”
Nnamani is perhaps one of our very best.
He had comportment,integrity,courage and honour.
He felt severely frustrated by minions who have continued to hold the party to Ransome and who unfortunately appear to enjoy the support of those who circumstances and misfortune has put the ill defined leadership of our party upon.
Along this tortuous journey, as Bob Marley said, “good friends we have lost, good friends we will miss along the way”
But this show must go on. Some of us will persevere and by God’s Grace and Mercy ,this Party shall prevail.
For a fact and for the avoidance of doubt it is neither over nor is it finished for PDP,
We will be back.”
