Okezie Ikpeazu, the immediate past Governor of Abia State, has said the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the moment is going through a natural growth phase, insisting that it would bounce back stronger if the right corrective steps are taken.
Ikpeazu who said this in his country home in Umuobiakwa, Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State, also stated that the PDP must begin to innovate and do things differently, with a renewed focus on social justice.
He added that social justice is as vital as security, as people are often reluctant to participate in governance when they feel unfairly treated, explaining that the party began to decline when members became complacent and started taking things for granted.
“The PDP risks hitting the bottom before it can rise again if something drastic is not done. What is happening to the PDP today is a natural response to the growth curve. There are four phases: the growth phase where input equals output, the phase of diminishing returns where input no longer matches output, and eventually, decline. ”
The ex-governor, urged other political parties not to celebrate PDP’s current challenges, emphasising that what the party is experiencing is a natural growth pattern that could occur in any organization.
