Supporters of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) are beginning to
raise eyebrows about whether there were not saboteurs in the national
body of the party who want to destroy it.
According to some of them who would not hesitate to swear on it, the
National Working Committee of the party could be serving their masters
elsewhere.
They posit that the body in their quest for power and wealth have
failed to realize that they are tarnishing the hard earned image of
President Goodluck Jonathan whose image is being tarnished by those
ignorant of the goings on at Wadata Plaza.
In Adamawa state, the purported election of Malam Nuhu Ribadu has not
only drawn the ire of the electorate but curses and indignation from
the people.
Aside the State Assembly primaries which was duly held in the state
void of rancor, no primaries for the National and Governorship seats
has taken place.
To the shock of many however, it was devastating to hear of a
purported primaries in Abuja even when the state was not on fire as
alleged by the powers that be.
They cited the successful primaries conducted in Adamawa by the All
Progressive Congress (APC).
At a stakeholders meeting held on Monday at its PDP secretariat,
stakeholders of the party said their attention was drawn to the
announcement of Malam Nuhu Ribadu as the PDP candidate in Adamawa
State.
To this end, they anchored, “we the PDP Exco, stakeholders and the
entire supporters disassociate ourselves from the purported primaries
and fictitious announcement.
According to General Aliyu Kama (rtd) who read the text of the message
on behalf of the other governorship aspirants the only legal primaries
that ever took place in Adamawa was the State Assembly primaries.
They called on the National Working Committee of the PDP to as a
matter of urgency cancel the purported illegal primaries held in Abuja
which they see as a contravention to the court orders and the
electoral act and should also organize and conduct the remaining
primaries.
