Former governor of Niger State and member of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Abdulkadir Abdullahi Kure has given assurances that the current leadership crisis rocking the party will soon be a thing of the past.
Kure disclosed this in Minna, at the weekend, when PDP elders and stakeholders from Zone C senatorial district in the state, led by former minister of state for Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Abubakar Achituwo and the party’s governorship aspirant in the 2015 election, Alhaji Hannafi Susan paid him a courtesy visit in his home.
He informed his guests, which also included all former and present national and the House of Assembly members, chairmen of local government that, already, the Senator Ali Modu Sherif-led faction has agreed to embrace peace.
Kure said the party will come out of the current leadership crisis stronger and will avoid the type of crisis that led to it losing the 2015 general election.
The former governor told PDP members that the party has a lot of lessons to learn from the experience of the 2015 general elections where “PDP defeated PDP and gave birth to the current change which has put Nigeria in its worst economic situation in it 56 years of existence as a nation.
“All PDP members who left the party and ensures the party lost the 2015 general elections are not comfortable where they are today. They are not finding things easy at the moment.”
He argued that everything that PDP was accused of doing in the past is exactly what is happening today and even worst, adding that “they said PDP postponed election to rig, today we saw election being postponed and rigged”.
He said that the current crisis in the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) is worst than that of PDP with over five factions and groups already in existence, saying that “if they said PDP is a dying party, I think APC is already dead before 2019”.
“Today we have in the APC, Tinubu faction, Amaechi faction, Atiku faction, Bukola Saraki faction and the rest of them. But we in PDP have just one faction and we have already overcome it, we will now wait and see how they will overcome their factional problems”.
Kure pointed out that what the party needs as 2019 approaches, is unity and understanding among all the party members, assuring them that the zoning arrangement of the party will still kept as the zone would be allowed to produce the next governor of the state come 2019.
