Complacency Costs AD South-West - Senator From Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja A lawmaker, Senator Tokunbo Ogunbanjo, had blamed complancency on the part of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) in the South-west for the hijack of the zone by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Ogunbanjo said failure to make succession plans, was also responsible for the party's loss of the geo-politcal zone. According to him, there was no doubt in the minds of discerning Nigerians that the PDP was going to win the 2003 elections in the South-west, primarily because people were generally fed up with the AD. "I didn't see anything they did as regards governance. There was nothing progressive about succession plan. You must be able to see something on ground and I, personally, didn't see anything like that. "There was nothing to show for the so called progressiveness of the party. The PDP had been working very hard for the previous two, three years, there was no place you would go to in my constituency that PDP was not on the lips of every single man, woman and child. "There are 103 wards in my senatorial district and we toured all those wards and everywhere you went to, it was PDP, PDP. We didn't see AD posters, whether gubernatorial, senatorial, House of Representatives, or presidential, we didn't see anything. There was complacency, but if you are a progressive, you cannot be complacent. "If you want to see a progressive, you need to see Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, you need to see everything he has done and determine who a progressive is. If the issue is whether the progressives would come on top in 2007, it would still be PDP," he said. Commenting on the relationship between the executive and the legislature, Ogunbanjo said "the fact that we have a cordial relationship does not mean that the legislature has been pocketed. Nigerians should not forget that up to 85 per cent of the Senate is constituted by PDP members and as such, we would not go against what the executive is doing.
