A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a Political Scientist, Dr Isuwa Dogo, on Thursday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is an epitome of democracy and the father of true democracy in the world.
Speaking on Sunrise Daily on Channels Television on Thursday, Dr Dogo said it was a mere perception that the party has fallen from grace.
He also said the PDP is not just seen in Nigeria, but globally as the best political system that Nigeria and the world has ever produced.
The Political Scientist explained that the party went to the general election with the sole intention to win, but lost in the elections as a result of Nigerians’ view on geopolitical zoning.
He stated that the PDP lost the presidential election because they did not use a Hausa/Fulani Muslim as their candidate.
The PDP member also pointed that the concept of zoning is not in the Nigerian constitution, noting that it is purely an internal matter of the party, which he expressed to be an issue of reality.
He also revealed that the party wanted to change the people’s perception on geopolitical zoning, stressing that anyone can lead the country irrespective of their tribe or religion.
Dr Dogo, however, said the greatest legacy the party has left is the evolution of true democracy.
