NTERVIEW:PDP dead in South West, will suffer more blows in 2015 – Kaka Excerpt INTERVIEW:PDP dead in South West, will suffer more blows in 2015 – Kaka Senator Adegbenga Kaka is a former deputy governor of Ogun State, under former governor, Segun Osoba, long before he became a member of the upper legislative chamber at the National Assembly, representing Ogun East senatorial district. In this interview with WALE AKINOLA, he harps on why the opposition should wrest power from PDP at the centre and other topical issues. PDP recently vowed to dislodge ACN in the South-West during the next general election. How feasible is this and what is your comment on Amaechi’s travail? I laugh and I still ‘dey’ laugh like Obasanjo used to say. First and foremost, I have made a subtle reference to Ameachi and Jonathan that they created the insecurity we are witnessing in the north today and they want to further create insecurity through the attempt to control the Governors’ Forum. The Governors Forum has no provision in the constitution and it is like any other NGO. And under freedom of association, there is no reason that should be a concern notwithstanding the denial by the presidency that he had no interest in the Governors’ Forum election. But I still believe that Nigerians are no fools because everybody knows that PDP has heated the polity just because governors are meeting for almost three months now. The crisis snowballed into the issue that Amaechi fly a jet without proper documents while we still have over 250 planes and nothing is happening to that. But Nigerians are aware of all the excuses they are giving. If the plane did not have valid documents, why did the Aviation ministry wait till the relationship between Amaechi and the President went frosty before they started crying foul? Why is Ameachi not being apprehended? Why did the presidency allow NGF’s election? And the governors that were supposed to be the hope of tomorrow conducted elections among themselves and one of them could not even understand the difference between the intention to vote and the actual voting, dangling a paper claiming that these were the signatures that pledged to vote, is it not a slap on our democracy? Then, it was done and the spirit of sportsmanship was not there, congratulations to the man that won, they are now saying I am the authentic winner, who made you the authentic winner? Is it the signature you made in your bedroom that made you the authentic winner or the one that was done publicly? So there are more questions than answers. Therefore, the PDP are the one heating the polity, they are the one who want free association they to be converted into a PDP plus other issues but Nigerians are watching, God is also watching but the ultimate is sweeping all those rot away. You don’t sweep dirt under the carpet that it will not resurface. Well, the issue of South-West, naturally PDP will be swept off, they are even not existing in the South-West so why do we have to bother ourselves if they are dreaming they want to take over, they have tried it before and people were so resilient, they did it in 2003, we went back to the trenches we plotted, we are going to use our brain, we are not going to use guns with these people, nobody is going to pursue them, nobody is going to fight them physically, we will use our brain to fight them and that is where the merger is going to surprise them, they are already jittery, they already have self destruction, they are inflicted with auto-immune disease which is worse than HIV/AIDS and there is no escape route for them.
