Karimi Berates Saraki Says, He Destroyed PDP
The Former members of House of reps for Yagba federal constituency, Sunday Karimi, has berated the former Senate president, Bukola Saraki alleging that he (Saraki) destroyed the People Democratic Party PDP in Kogi state.
He therefore, kicked against the former senate president heading the reconciliation committee in the state adding that, Saraki could not fix the party.
Karimi made this known while speaking on behalf of the aggrieved members who also kicked against Saraki heading the reconciliation committee at the state’s capital Lokoja.
He said “Former Senate President was the mastermind behind the Kogi Peoples Democratic Party crisis. Asking him to head the reconciliation team ahead the forthcoming governorship election in the state would only end up compounding the crisis he created.
“Saraki was the architect and the brain behind the destruction of the party in Kogi State, his role in imposing national Assembly candidates and in the last Governorship Primaries gave birth to the outcome of the Kogi PDP crisis today.
“The destruction of the Kogi PDP that is now obviously noticed today is the product of the seed planted long ago by the former Senate President when he insisted on given automatic tickets to non-PDP members as a reward for their loyalty to him against loyal party members
“Saraki sowed the seed of discord in the party by rewarding his persons with the party’s ticket in the last general election, asking him to reconcile the party ahead the forthcoming governorship election would only compound the crisis; his (Saraki) assignment is dead on arrival.
“For long, the PDP has been necked deep in the impunity to always reward returning and non members, but the efforts by the former Senate president to use the state as guinea pig during the last national assembly and governorship primaries to reward non members, was the last straw that broke the camel’s back in Kogi PDP.”
It could be recalled that the National Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus, norminated Saraki to head the reconciliation committee following the widespread grievances that arose from the party governorship primary that produced Musa Wada as their candidate.
