Senate Leader Links PDP’s Electoral Loss To Impunity And Mental Laziness

Following the disastrous outing of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 general elections, Senator Victor Ndoma Egba has said the party is paying a very high prize for acts of impunity, mental laziness and the inability of the leadership of the party to think.

Senator Ndoma Egba who was reacting to reports that his supporters have left the PDP in droves for the All Progressive Congress (APC), which is a prelude to his planned defection to the party, said in the past three years, he had been shot out from the PDP decision making process because the party took a simplistic approach to the dynamics of the developments without recourse to broad based consultations, Vanguard reports.

“Mental laziness breeds impunity and impunity breeds arrogance and every situation reinforces itself. If you have small impunity today if you don’t do anything about it, the impunity would grow and if you have small arrogance today and you don’t do anything about it, it would re-enforce itself by growing so the PDP is paying a very prize for our own conduct and this is a God sent opportunity for us to wake up and think and I also hope that the APC will learn from what had befallen PDP”.

The senate leader who was obviously bitter with developments in the party said he was not planning to defect to the APC as it is being speculated but that some of his supporters defected to the APC. “I am reacting in relation to the claims that my supporters have defected to another party and I am saying that some other people were also there and not only my supporters “.

Speaking on his plans after the Senate, Ndoma Egba said he has a thriving legal practice which he has put in thirty eight years and out of those years, he had only put in twelve years into politics and as such has several options after he exits the Senate in a few weeks.

“I had a very busy practice as you know so for me I have very many options and I am still assessing the options but what I can assure you is that I will be in politics to deepen the quality of politics we have here but principally I will return to my legal practice”.

Before the election, the PDP enjoyed the majority status in the Senate with 64 members while the APC had 41. Other parties, like the Labour Party, the Accord Party and the Social Democratic Party, shared the remaining five seats.

But following the declaration of the national assembly results, the APC will now have 64 senators; the PDP, 45; and the Labour Party, one.
