President Bola Tinubu is a capable strategist who should not be undervalued, Dan Ulasi, the former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State has disclosed.
In reaction to the current surge of PDP defectors to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ulasi made the comments on Friday.
Notable defectors include Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and former PDP vice presidential candidate Ifeanyi Okowa. According to reports, other PDP governors might decide to join the APC.
This comes after the PDP Governors Forum rejected the alliance put up by Atiku Abubakar, the party’s previous presidential candidate.
According to Ulasi: “If I can put you back some 20 years ago, former PDP National Chairman now late, Vincent Ogbulafor also said PDP will run Nigeria for 60 years, but it’s now for you to know if the party can run.
“The pronouncement people make out of the comfort of their bedroom or office, they have the right so to do, but I can tell you that Tinubu is an embodiment of reasonable doubt. He is a summary of an embodiment of reasonable doubt.
“For a president, as killings were going on in Makurdi and Plateau – my president was in Paris for days and only God knows what he was doing. From there he went to London.

“So you start asking yourself, what is the reference point of human beings who leave the PDP, Labour Party or others to join the APC.
“There has to be some performance reference, I give Bola Tinubu one credit, he is a master politician and a strategist. I have always said this from the time he was governor of Lagos State under Obasanjo, there was nothing the PDP didn’t do to remove him with other governors – they succeeded in five states but he stood his ground and was never removed until he finished his eight years and moved on to become the president of Nigeria.
“So he is not somebody I take for granted in any aspect of human discussion, I don’t take him for granted. He is a strategist but PDP should be thinking a lot more about their future and not just about when there is four years, people will now be thinking of coming around to be governor, this and that.
“Nobody thinks of how the party is built because if you don’t built an energized party from State to wards, there is no way you will mobilize the people to vote for you.”
