Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, a former Niger State Governor, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has eliminated the issue that had been weakening the party.
Aliyu was reacting to the expulsion of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and his allies from the PDP.
Tori News recall that during its national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Saturday, the PDP expelled Wike, and suspended National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu and former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose.
Reacting, Aliyu said, “Like surgeons, we remove a cancer—the cancer that has been part of our party, that has crippled the party.
“We hope that with the removal of the cancer, the party may be able to move and give Nigerians an option on what to do.”
He also warned against turning the country into a one-party state, saying the consequences would be devastating.
“If we make the mistake of creating a one-party state in Nigeria, we will pay for it. So, it’s good that we give an alternative to the Nigerian populace,” he added.
