Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Adamawa State, Tahir Shehu, speaks with OLUWAFEMI MORGAN about the forthcoming election, the feud between the G-5 governors and the party, among other issues
We are not unmindful of the fact that Adamawa State had the incumbent and the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation. It also has the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, and it is also the home state of the First Lady , and her younger brother is a powerful man, a very influential personality in the state.
In August and October 2022, there was internal wrangling within the party in the state. There was a situation where over 800 members threatened to leave the party, and some accused your governor of imposition. Has that issue been resolved? Well, I am not a government worker, and I am not a staff of the governor. So, I am not in a position to say that this is what he did or whether he resolved them or not. I am just the chairman of the party in the state.
Do you think Atiku can beat the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, across the North given the fact that the political influence and leverage of President Buhari is still available for him at this time?
