Chief Anabs Sara- Igbe, the Special Adviser on Security to a former governor of Rivers , on Thursday said the PDP lost the 2015 general elections due to violation of internal democracy.
Sara - Igbe, who served in Governor Peter Odili ’ s administration , told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN ) in Port Harcourt that the party disregarded warnings to stop imposition of candidates during its primary elections.
He said internal democracy operated on due process , fair play, equity and good conscience in the sharing of political and economic power.
According to Sara - Igbe , the managers of the party allowed greed, nepotism and outright inordinate ambition to affect its fortunes.
“ The leadership of PDP was unconcerned about obvious irregularities that characterised the party ’ s primary that led to its shameful and disgraceful defeat.
“ You cannot circumvent rules and acts that are indeed inimical to the enthronement and sustenance of internal democracy and have party cohesion for victory , ” he said.
Sara - Igbe said the questionable manner with which candidates of the party emerged showed that the leadership was not serious . He described the ugly interplay of party intrigues , power display , culture of impunity and disregard for fair play and
internal democracy as most unfortunate .
