The Kano State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has slammed Southern Governors for endorsing President Bola Tinubu for a second term.
The PDP in Kano stated that it is against the endorsement.
“We are not party to the endorsement of President Tinubu’s second term agenda by some governor’s from the southern part of the this country; we believe in our party and any candidate that emerges as its presidential candidate,” Yusuf Ado Kibiya, Kano PDP chairman declared on Thursday.
Kibiya who was speaking after a meeting in Kano, insisted that the party has what it takes to secure the presidency in the next general elections and as such, there was no reason whatsoever to endorse Tinubu.
The Kano PDP chairman further slammed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for joining the opposition alliance under the platform of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, saying the movement is already dead on arrival.
“We categorically distance the Kano State chapter from the breakaway members who have formed a coalition under the African Democratic Congress. This coalition does not represent the interests of the PDP and we urge our members to remain focused on our party’s objectives.”
He said the PDP in Kano has successfully conducted elections at various levels, including ward, local and state levels.
“This achievement demonstrates our organizational strength and commitment to democratic processes.
“We have completed the mobilization and repositioning of our party members, ensuring that they are actively engaged and aligned with the party’s goals. This effort is crucial for strengthening our grassroots support and enhancing our operational effectiveness.
“We want to assure the national executive of our absolute loyalty in all matters concerning the conduct of party business. Our commitment to the party remains unwavering, and we stand ready to support the party’s initiatives and directives.
“We categorically reject any attempt to undermine or divide our party. We affirm that all members of the PDP in Kano State are solidly committed to the party and its ideals. Our membership remains intact and resolute in supporting the PDP’s mission and vision for a better Kano and Nigeria,” Kibiya added.
He further declared that the Kano chapter of the PDP wholeheartedly endorses and supports the decisions of the national leadership of the party.
“We reaffirm our resolve to work closely with the national leadership, party officials, and stakeholders to ensure the PDP’s triumph in upcoming elections.
“We believe that through unity of purpose, collaboration, and strategic planning, we can restore PDP’s prominence at all levels of government,” the Kano PDP chairman stressed.
