A former Governor of Plateau State, Sen. Jonah Jang has warned that if the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, subverts its constitution and fails to uphold its long-held tradition of inclusiveness, such is a sure way to derail the party from getting back to its winning ways in 2023.
Jang also cautioned aspirants in Plateau State who contested and lost in the last Party primary election conducted in the State to let go of bitterness and stop blaming him for their losses.
Senator Jang spoke on the heels of Thursday’s publication on some media platforms which rebuked him for his support for the resignation of the Party’s National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
Spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, Mr Charles Aniagwu, says the call for the removal of the party’s National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, is ill-timed, with the 2023 general election a few months away.
Speaking on “Good Morning Nigeria” on NTA Network, on Friday, Aniagwu said those calling for Ayu’s removal based on equity and justice were not wrong but appealed that they look at the bigger picture because the period was too close to the 2023 general elections.
The Presidential Campaign Spokesman said Ayu never denied agreeing to quit if a presidential candidate emerged from the North, noting that Ayu will quit if the party wins the presidential election. The national chairman was clear when he said if the Party ask him to quit he will. The party did not make that request, the NEC passed a vote of confidence on the NWC.
According to him, Ayu has never denied what he said, be let us look at what he said and the laws of the party. Let us always think of the country first and not about North and South that tends to divide us.
