Nearly
two weeks after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had its local government
congress nationwide,over 5,000 members have dumped the party owing to
discrepancies in Chanchaga Local Government Area.
The decision
according to the leader of the group, Dr. Jibrin Datti Balarebe was due to the
high level of favouritism and godfatherism experienced during the congress.
While
disclosing that they started as a pressure group, Balarebe said “During the
last congress of the PDP in Chanchaga LGA, the attitude of those at the helm of
affairs showed that the party has not learnt from its previous mistakes which
led to the failure of the party to win the 2015 general elections.
“In view of
this, we, over 5,000 in number have decided to leave the party because we
cannot be part of continued failure when we have all that it takes to succeed
and win elections come 2019.
“Before this
decision, all efforts to see that these anomalies are corrected failed despite
the intervention of the State Exco and other party leaders under the leadership
of former Governor, Engr. Abdullahi Kure.”
He said,
“Doors are opened for dialogue and subsequent resolution in as much as we
vehemently reject the outcome of the congress which was heavily manipulated by
some individuals.”
He further
disclosed that the group has not decided whether to join any other party at the
moment.
