A former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Ologbondiyan, has claimed that the party is in coma.
Ologbondiyan, however, in an interview with Vanguard claimed that PDP is not dead despite the leadership crisis rocking the party.
The PDP chieftain when asked if the party is dead said, “No. The problem as we speak today is that the party has gone comatose but it’s not dead. So, the issue of a requiem mass like some commentators are suggesting does not arise.

“I must, however state that the party has been allowed to wax cold and rendered ineffective in the performance of its function as the leading opposition party expected to put this trial by error administration on its toes.
Those in the current leadership of our party are going to tell you that oh, they have conducted Congresses conviently skipping the fact that the outcome of a majority of these congresses are currently subject of litigations in various courts.
They will also tell you that o, they’re selling forms for zonal congresses but these are all games in which many party members are no longer interested because they’ve seen the direction these people are taking the party to.
So, if any one says our party is dead, I’ll tell such a person that our party is not dead but it needs to be re-calibrated. It needs to be revived from its current state of coma.”
