… I am one of the founding fathers of the PDP. I cannot afford to be indifferent to these regretful developments within my party whereby people are treated according to their loyalty to certain interests. The selective suspension and restoration of party membership, the preoccupation with all sorts of designs for 2015 and the escalation of sectarian and tribal threats over the up-coming election is embarrassing for the image of our Party and our country. These can only affect the Party and the nation negatively by distracting the attention of those elected to govern from discharging their primary obligation to us. It is not surprising that both the Party and the nation are in turmoil largely because those at the helm are unable to rise above it all…
I, Abubakar Muhammad Baba, though not a politician, i am with you you and supported your view!
First, PDP is a party of the whole Nigerians, not for particular class of people, region, religion or tribe. Positions are to be shared base on the principles of natural justice, equity and good conscience. One a leader of the party appears to be partial or favours some class of persons, tribe or region at the expence of others without due consultation and mutual agreement by those who are considered the fathers or the executive council, that leader deserves nothing than to vacate his seat! Besies, any decision taken by such a leader is null and void what soever!
