Former PDP presidential aspirant and ex-President of the World Igbo Congress, Dr. Nwachukwu Anakwenze, has blamed the ongoing crisis in the party on individuals like Atiku Abubakar. He believes the former vice president is part of a system that has failed the party and the country.

During an interview in Abagana, Anambra State, Anakwenze cautioned that PDP may lose its remaining states if it presents Atiku as its 2027 presidential candidate. He insisted that Nigerians want a break from old political faces who have nothing new to offer.

“I am a loyal PDP member,” Anakwenze said. “But the party has problems because of people like Atiku. He doesn’t want it to succeed. He is holding the party back.”

Moreover, he criticized the PDP leadership for recycling the same set of politicians who have failed to drive meaningful change. According to him, the country needs bold, innovative leaders who will move Nigeria forward.

“We need leaders with fresh ideas,” he said. “People who understand unity, vision, and growth. Not those clinging to ethnic or religious sentiments.”

In addition, Anakwenze lamented that Nigeria remains underdeveloped despite its vast resources. He pointed out that qualified individuals rarely get the opportunity to lead, while those with questionable records dominate the political space.

“Nigeria has brilliant minds,” he added. “But sadly, the smartest people are kept away from power. That’s why we are failing across all sectors.”

He also condemned the culture of political favoritism, stating that individuals who should be facing trial are the ones controlling national affairs. In his words, “Only people who should be in prison are calling the shots.”

Appointed Regent of Abagana

Meanwhile, Anakwenze announced his appointment as the Regent of Abagana, following the passing of the town’s traditional ruler, Igwe Patrick Mbamalu Okeke. The Anambra State Government confirmed his selection and issued him a certificate through the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Community Affairs.

Expressing gratitude, he pledged to use the six-month role to deliver positive change. He also emphasized the importance of including younger voices in local governance.

“This is an honour,” he said. “I plan to involve the youth in key decisions. Our culture must evolve with the times.”

In a separate development, Atiku Abubakar has slammed the EFCC over the arrest of his associate. He alleged that the anti-corruption agency has become a tool for political persecution.

Atiku described the arrest as a clear case of witch-hunt. He accused the EFCC of targeting opposition voices instead of focusing on its core mandate.

“The EFCC must stop acting like a political enforcer,” he warned. “Selective justice only damages its credibility.”

He urged civil society groups and the international community to hold the Nigerian government accountable. According to him, protecting democracy requires equal treatment of all citizens, regardless of political affiliation.
