Oba Abdulraheem's Group asks PDP to discipline Saraki, others
A few individuals in the Kwara State Chatter of the Peoples Democratic Party were at the national headquarters of the party in Abuja on Friday, asking the party to discipline the former Governor of the State, Senator Bukola Saraki and an acting National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Kawu Baraje and others for what they described as anti-party activities.
However, the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Bamanga Tukur declined, saying that the party shall continue to push for total reconciliation.
He said that the party would at all times continue to hold elections to decide its candidates and would not resort into selection.
But the leader of the group, Salman Ajada, told the National Working Committee of the party to discipline all those that stormed out of the party during its last mini convention in Abuja to form a splinter group, the New PDP.
He said as far as he was concerned, there was no new PDP in the state.
He said, “Certain individuals who believe that nothing happens in Kwara politics without them will be brought to shame.
“There cannot be two masters in the ship of PDP. The era of indiscipline is gone. Kwara state PDP will remain with the main stream PDP.
“Whatever happened, we apologise. The new PDP is not known to any law. We want you to put on ground a strong disciplinary action to restore sanity because if left undone, a lot of damage would be done by these renegades. We urge you to take steps to restore sanity in Kwara”.
He Tukur and other NWC members that people did not know the true state of affairs in the state, adding that once they see a single individual, they believed that they had seen the state.
He said that the state would remain in the mainstream of PDP in the country.
Also speaking at the occasion, a former Vice Chancellor University of Ilorin, Prof. Abdulraham Oba, called on Tukur to ensure that those that formed the New PDP were not allowed to go scot-free.
