She specifically said the assembly should be made to respond to the ugly political situation in Anmbra State before it consumes the whole nation. Teju said such a meeting is desirable to protect the country from slipping into the abyss of anarchy as being witnessed in Anambra, saying it would have dire consequence for the nation’s survival if something urgent was not done. In an interview in Lagos, she said what the nation is going through now due to the Anambra political crisis is a tragedy not only to the indigenes but to the country. There is the need for the people to discuss the issues in a conference and send a petition to the National Assembly over the Anambra crisis. She likened the event in the state to a sign of the imminent self-destruction of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), adding that no matter the pretensions of those in power Nigeria cannot become a one party state. “I want people of my generation to stand up and fight the evil in the land because it is not good to allow my generation to be mortgaged,” she declared, adding that any plan to make the country a one-party state cannot stand. Teju, who is the Executive Director of the Democratic Sustenance Initiative (DSI), a non-government organization, said most of those joining the PDP are only doing so for what they could get from the government. She said the PDP would soon destroy itself by its internal contradictions because the party is a time bomb ticking away and one day it would self-destruct. She said the recent comment of President Olusegun Obasanjo on the state of the economy is a manifestation of the failure of the government to deliver and solve the problem of Nigerians “he doesn’t have a clue to the problem.” Copyright� 2004.
