UMUAHIA– FORMER National Chairman of  Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, has blamed the crises in various political parties in Nigeria on lack of equity and justice.

Ogbulafor, who spoke in his Itaja Obohia-Olokoro home in Umuahia South Council of Abia State, when he received the leadership of Okezuo Abia Organization, called for application of equity and justice in distributing political offices.

Alluding specifically to the crisis rocking the PDP, he said: “If the major party stakeholders of the PDP had observed, respected and applied the concept of equity in the Presidential election of 2011 which produced President Goodluck Jonathan, the party wouldn’t have been in this present political predicament or quagmire.”

He stressed the need for politicians to adhere strictly to “the rules, regulations and mutual agreements to ensure fairness, justice and political stability in the practice of democracy.”

He commended Okezuo Abia Organization for deeming it fit to embark on grassroots appreciation tour of local governments of the state and for their efforts that culminated in the emergence of Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu as the governor of the state in 2015 governorship election. He said he was a strong believer of power rotation.

In his remarks, the Director General of Okezuo Abia Organization, John Nwangborogwu, explained to the former party National Chairman on the philosophy and principles of the organization, which he said promotes understanding, equity and justice.

Nwangborogwu stated that Okezuo Abia was open-minded, accommodating and believed in mutual relationship of people, guided and propelled by the philosophy of equity and justice for good governance.
