Gubernatorial aspirants of the recent party primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mohammed Sani Sidi, OFR, his political associates and several other chieftains of the party across the 23 local government areas of Kaduna State have resigned their membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement signed by a close associate of Mohammed Sani Sidi, Alhaji Ahmed Maiyaki, quoted a letter sent to the ward Chairman of PDP, Unguwan Sarki Ward, Kaduna North local government Area, states that “since the party’s primaries held last year, characterized by manipulations, impunity, lack of internal democracy and intimidations of party delegates, the party’s leadership at the state or the candidate has failed to genuinely engage all aspirants towards consultation and genuine reconciliation, an important task that would have helped the party forge ahead.
Even more worrisome is the mutual mistrust that exist between the party leadership, the gubernatorial candidate and some of its members and above all the failure to showcase any meaningful blueprint and capacity on how to govern the state when voted into power.
The letter further states, “it is based on these reasons and after due consultation with my political associates across the 23 local government areas, l decided to resign my membership of the party henceforth. And l thank you most sincerely for your support while in the party”.
Sani Sidi submitted alongside the letter, his membership card of the party to the ward leadership of the PDP.
