How PDP was formed and the founding fathers

December 11, 2014 by Kelly Davies 5 Comments

Contrary to the believe that Chief Obasanjo is one of the founding members of PDP, he is not a founding father of the PDP and he played no role in founding the PDP. He was invited to PDP. According to comment by Shehu Monguno, A group of politicians under the auspices of the All Politicians Summit convened a meeting in 1997 to discuss the way out of what was fast becoming a festering dictatorship.

That meeting, led by Dr. Alex Ekwueme was brutally dispersed by the security apparatus of the Sani Abacha’s regime. Dr. Ekwueme undeterred by the brutish antics of the regime continued rallying key political figures of different ideological persuasions under a new platform called Institute of civil society.

In the midst of all this confusion, a group of political leaders, eighteen of them in the first instance and later thirty-four decided to “dare the lion in his den”. This group known as the G-34 later formed the nucleus and rallying point of the associations that formed what is today, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

    Sorry to disagree with you on some of the names, Chief Tom Ikimi was in Abacha’s cabinet and hence was not a founding father, you left out Dr. China Okadigbo, Capo Sarumi, Chief Ejiofor Onyia all of PDM.
