The ongoing efforts to
reconcile aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party members with the Bamanga Tukur-led
National Working Committee of the party,appear to have finally hit a brick
wall.
A hint of this emerged when Adamawa
State Governor, Murtala Nyako, told a visiting All Progressives Congress
delegation on Wednesday, that himself and the six other aggrieved
PDP governors, might dump the PDP for the “warm embrace of the APC.”
The other aggrieved governors
otherwise known as rebel governors are prominent members of the New PDP led by Alhaji Abubakar Baraje.
They are Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Rabiu
Kwakwanso (Kano); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); Babangida Aliyu (Niger);
Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara); and Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto).
It was learnt on Wednesday that
the National Vice-Chairman North-East of the APC, Umar Duhu, who
led the delegation to the government residence in Yola, offered Nyako a
piece of kola nut and an invitation in accordance with the northern tradition.
The Director of Press to the
Governor, Ahmad Sajo, who confirmed the development to our
correspondent, said Nyako expressed his desire and
those of his colleagues to join the opposition APC as “soon as the
situation in the PDP becomes unbearable.”
Sajo said, “The governor told them he
is committed to supporting them; he admires all the APC governors for the way
they are focused in their performance.
“He abhors the injustice and impunity
that are going on in the PDP and he also frowns on the fact that
someone would emerge as the party’s candidate at the local level and the PDP
will change the name of the person in Abuja and submit a different
person’s name.”
He quoted the governor as saying, “These
are the reasons (injustice and impunity) why we may have to dump the PDP, if
they will not change their ways.
“We may definitely be pushed to the
warm embrace of the APC because there is so much injustice in the PDP.
“It is a party which renders your efforts
null and void after you have gone through the process and secured
nomination; a system that takes over your property without giving you an
opportunity to defend yourself for whatever infringement you may have
committed.
“The PDP operates a system that does
not respect other people’s point of view; a system that operates on a
pre-determined position on all matters is not healthy for democracy.”
Earlier, Duhu had told the governor
that they were at his residence after consultation with the APC leadership
to formally invite him to join the party.
Attempts to get a response from the
PDP were futile as its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa
Metuh, neither picked his calls nor replied to a text message sent to his
mobile phone.
A phone call to his deputy, Alhaji
Abubakar Jalo, indicated that his set was switched off.

ReplyDeleteI find it difficult to believe a person wld call a fellow person ANIMAL just out of provocation for having a different view. Pls watch ur tongues friends. We knw they are all self centred n power drunk. They wld do anything to remains in power n b relevant. Afraid of tomorrow which will surely b wether they like it or not. We won't fight them but resist their policies n plans, turn them against each other. Deliver their end every morning u wake up n bless Nigeria. Peace
ReplyDeleteFrom the day learnt GEJ is contesting 2015,the join APC with Amaechi,whats the drama about New PDP.If i may ask, Has the new PDP died? I thought the had what it takes to transform PDP.Self-seeking politicians seeking for personal agradisement.
ReplyDeleteThey ar all viruses, and they are all aware that they have outlived their usefulness, they can migrate and either join/ form a new Party in the moon, who cares, their selfish activities cannot put food on our tables and as such no longer constitute news to some of us. TO HELL WITH ALL OF THEM.
ReplyDeleteAbeg they'd better do that fast so Nigerians can have a breath of fresh air. These egocentric mediocres who call themselves G7 are making themselves look too important. I hope Atiku is going with them? If Atiku believed in himself that he could win an election on any platform he would not have come back to pdp. New pdp ni, make I hear word jare!
