PDP National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh has said rebuilding his party which lost the center last March, has been doubly difficult.
In an interview with The Punch, the opposition spokesperson also said certain members within the PDP expect him to always insult President Muhammadu Buhari.
“We have been rebuilding, but it is not easy. We are rebuilding, but there are different forces, and contending interests (working against it). It is not easy.
“On one hand, we are dealing with a ruthless ruling party, and we also have some divisive elements in our party who are genuinely accepting some influence in the administration of the party.
“Knowingly or unknowingly, they are embarking on distractions and distractions that would rather be in the interest of the ruling party than our growth.
“But since we lost the election, we have tried to remain focused and retain the support of a very large number of our members to remain focused in opposing this government.
“Some of our members misconstrue an opposition party to be a party that insults people because that was what the APC was doing.
“People want us to insult the President and the ruling party to remain in opposition. Because we are not doing that, our people are not comfortable with that”.
Metuh said insulting Buhari isn’t likely to win the PDP many friends.
“They believe that we are too soft and they believe that we are too academic. They want us to be insulting the people. It was not by insulting the former President that gave the APC victory.
“We fuelled partisan support for the APC in some parts of the country.”
