The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
youths has recently given the leadership seven days to resolve the disagreement
or face the youth taking over the party.
The youth leader Aderemi Olusegun, said
the
party is bigger than individuals and warned its leaders to stop toying with its
survival.
“As concerned youths, we deem it
necessary to come together to take a firm position in the interest of party
members nationwide.” He said
“We believe that we have waited enough on the party stakeholders, since the
Port Harcourt convention, to amicably resolve this lingering problem.“In the last 24 hours, we consulted widely with different youth groups, women and patriots in our party, and we, therefore, after an emergency meeting in the National Headquarters (Wadata Plaza) resolved that we are giving the leadership of the party, which includes the BoT, Governors’ Forum, warring groups and other stakeholders, a seven-day ultimatum to resolve this intractable but avoidable rancour.
“However, if this is not resolved, we shall be compelled to mobilise all concerned youths nationwide to take over the affairs of the party, and we have started putting in place an effective structure to that end.”
However, Chairman of the party’s caretaker committee, Senator Ahmed Makarfi has said that he neither apologised to Senator Ali Modu Sheriff nor pledged his support to the leadership of the embattled chairman of the party.
Also the former National Vice chairman, South-South of the party, Dr Cairo Ojuogboh, had told journalists that Senator Makarfi met and apologised to Senator Sheriff and had pledged his loyalty to him.
However, in an interview with journalists yesterday, Senator Makarfi said though he was open to dialogue towards resolving the leadership tussle in PDP, the deliberate disinformation of an event that never took place was “very fraudulent.”
All progressive Congress, APC also told PDP to organize there,
To cause anonymity, APC, last night, faulted claims by the PDP Caretaker Committee that it was responsible for the crisis plaguing the national leadership of PDP because of the forthcoming Edo and Ondo governorship elections.
According to a statement by National Secretary Mallam Mala Buni, read in part: “For the umpteenth time, APC wishes to state that instead of joining issues with the baseless and laughable allegations, it would rather join issues that will bring about all-inclusive development in the country.
“However, it should be put on record that PDP forced on themselves whatever crisis it is troubled with due to its politics of imposition and other undemocratic practices which APC abhors. PDP should put its house in order rather than playing to the gallery”. He said.
