Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jigawa State has advised former Governor Sule Lamido to consider defecting to another political party, citing the lingering internal crisis rocking the PDP in the state.
This was contained in a communiqué issued after its meeting held at the PDP state secretariat signed by its chairman, Hon. Ali Idris Diginsa and made available to newsmen.
It expressed its concern over what it described as the party’s deepening internal crisis and the leadership’s failure to resolve lingering disputes.
The Forum accused the party of allegedly sidelining Lamido and preventing him from contesting for the position of national chairman for reason known to them.
“What is happening in the party recently is exposing the party’s weaknesses and shame- the recent confrontation between Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja was shameful and embarrassing.
“The PDP is no longer a formidable national platform due to persistent divisions, distrust and unending rancour among its members,” the forum stated.
The party chairmen, however, reaffirmed the members loyalty to Sule Lamido and promised total loyalty and support in what ever decision he takes.
The forum noted that Lamido is the only surviving member of the historic G9 and G18 groups who had never abandoned the PDP, even during the height of the Buhari political wave in the North.
“We urge our leader to seek a viable political platform that would allow his followers to pursue the dream of a greater Jigawa and Nigeria,” the group stated.
