Former Kaduna governor, Mallam Nasiru el’Rufia<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In a statement issued by\u00a0 the Director General, PDP-GF, Dr. Emmanuel Agbo, disclosed the party’s governor’s forum regretted that haven become deeply unsatisfied with the results that “their clones have gotten in the low-willed factions they keep financing within our party structure, they have proceeded with direct confrontation on the governors towards creating a one-party entrapment, with intention to split the opposition and thereby cripple democratic institutions and values through questionable adoption and misinterpretation of the law, all to strangle the lifeline of our nation to enforce dictatorship and a one-party rule.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The forum expressed infinite trust and confidence in the leadership of the Governor of Bauchi State,\u00a0 Sen. Bala Mohammed “who has openly denounced in very strong terms, the unpleasant and provoking publications and rumours being peddled ad nauseam by negative forces and their agents who cannot absorb the temerity of this Forum to question their incapacities in leadership by performing above the limits imposed by their failed economic policies and programs, which have left the ordinary Nigerian with nothing other than poverty and financial hardship down to the remote locations.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The PDP Governors’ Forum said it\u00a0 is not in consonance with those actors, neither does it enjoy any ambience of political space to discuss nor seal the auction of the PDP through lowlife grifters who are allegedly working behind the scenes to support a potential Nasir El-Rufai\/Peter Obi presidential ticket in the 2027 election”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The PDP governors said emphatically that “As a formidable party, all organs of the party have continually been engaged in attaining reconciliation across the board and\u00a0 reconsolidation of\u00a0 progressive development made in our sub-national levels to ameliorate the lives of our people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“It is obvious that these mischief makers and detractors, who are bewildered at the way and manner PDP Governors are daily performing to pull the people out of economic hardship despite the intimidation by the ruling APC, are only intimidated and can only throw mud at our good works.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“In the world of politics, rumors and speculations are common, as such, we will not allow these ‘enemies of progress’ and ‘agents of confusion’ to gaslight the Nigerian people to draw wrong and erroneous conclusions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Our principles are for equity, social justice, sincerity of purpose, accountability, enthronement of undefiled electoral process, enhancement of the lives of the people, and propagation of humanity. Suffice it for us to irrevocably state here that in 2027, PDP Governors as disciplined leaders and stakeholders will exemplify this by wholeheartedly supporting whoever emerges as the flag-bearer of our great party in the battle to wrestle power from the non-performers at the centre.<\/div>\n
” As a creed we all share, the dreams of the founding fathers of our great party will not be in vain,” the statement concluded.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
