The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed the readiness of the party to work with the African National Congress, ANC, in South Africa to save and deepen democracy in the African continent.
Uche Secondus stated this while receiving the High Commissioner of South Africa, Thamsanqa Dennis Mseleku, at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Commending the South African government particularly the President, Cyril Ramaphosa, for his uncommon support to Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala that contributed to her emergence as the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation WTO, the National Chairman of the PDP insisted that there are a lot to learn from the ruling party in South Africa especially as regards the conduct of a free, fair, and credible election.
In a swift response, the South Africa High Commissioner hinted of the desire of his home government to continue to strengthen its relations with Nigeria.
Mseleku also highlighted the inherent dangers of cross-carpeting or the frequent movement of politicians from one party to the other, noting that South African politics suffered the same fate until it found stability in its constitution.
