Crisis Rocks Katsina PDP Over Suspension of Officials Francis Sardauna writes that a raging storm may scupper the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party in Katsina State during the 2023 general election
writes that a raging storm may scupper the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party in Katsina State during the 2023 general election if the broken fences within the party are not mended before the poll.
24 local government chairmen, 13 House of Representatives candidates and two senatorial candidates of the party who were said to have unanimously endorsed Majigiri and Uli’s removal at a recent meeting in Kano, elected the Daura zonal vice chairman of the party, Hon. Lawal Magaji as acting chairman. “In view of the seriousness of the offences which can have a significant negative effect on the campaign efforts both for the presidential down to the state Assembly, the committee resolved to sanction them and salvage the situation by removal from office as per section 59 of the PDP constitution as amended in 2017.
Majigiri, who contested the gubernatorial primary but lost to Lado, is the current PDP House of Representatives candidate for Mashi/Dutsi Federal Constituency. He described the decision taken by some members of the state working committee of the party as politically mischievous and rubbish. Alas, the turmoil rocking the PDP escalated when Uli and some staunch supporters of the party believed to be his loyalists, announced the suspension of the state governorship flag bearer of the PDP, Lado, from the party.
But some chieftains of the party who are in Lado’s camp argued that Uli and his supporters lack constitutional power to sack him from the party. “We suspended them so they don’t have power to even spearhead the affairs of the party nor sack the governorship candidate of the party who is duly elected”, Sanusi Ali, the secretary of the party said.
Also, Majigiri and the former Governor of the state, Ibrahim Shehu Shema and other executives who have never defected from the party for once since its formation in 1998, are strongly behind Senator Iyorchia Ayu-led national executive committee of the party.
