By Umar Usman Duguri

The chairman of the PDP Governors’ forum, Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi state has issued a stern warning to faction within the party that PDP does not belong to any single individual, insisting that it belongs to Nigerians.

Speaking in Abuja on the police blockade of the PDP National Secretariat early on Tuesday, Governor Mohammed said the PDP Governors’ Forum, will not sit by and watch this party destroyed by people who neither understand its history nor respect its future.

Mohammed reiterated that enough is enough as PDP and pledged to work with the new National NWC of the party to defend the national secretariat and members for internal democracy to trove.

He assured that he would do so with unity, strategy, and unwavering commitment to the rule of law as the party is resolute to work against plan to sabotage PDP

The governor made it very clear that PDP would not be cowed, harassed or be silenced.

He promised that that the party had survived tougher battles, and predicted that it would emerge from its current challenge stronger, more united, and more determined.

Mohammed then cautioned presidency against giving opportunities to individuals who lack character, and commitment to the values of democracy especially those who use state power to settle internal scores.

According to him, those who believe governance is about suppressing opposition rather than serving the peoples, such individuals are not helping the country, and they are certainly not helping the PDP, instead, their actions are destroying the institutions that hold the nation together.

On his part, the new National chairman of the PDP, Tanimu Turaki appealed to international community to come and rescue Nigerian democracy against collapse from the APC led federal government.

The PDP national chairman also called on the presidency and all relevant institutions to immediately address this abuse of power, saying Nigeria’s democracy cannot thrive when political intimidation becomes the order of the day.

On the other hand, the Wike led factional PDP according to sources affirmed its readiness to challenge whatever decision the Gov Bala Mohammed’s PDP stand for, for the ongoing brohaha.

Critics opined that the deepening crisis may be capitalized by the ruling opposition party including the minor political parties in the country, while others argued the PDP is not new in the experience of having swindling crisis rocking it and fixed within the stipulated period.
