The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State has distanced itself from the recent endorsement of President Bola Tinubu’s second term bid by some governors from the South.
According to Yusuf Ado Kibiya, the Kano PDP chairman, the party is confident in its ability to secure the presidency in the next general elections and sees no reason to endorse Tinubu.
“We are not party to the endorsement of President Tinubu’s second term agenda by some governors from the southern part of this country; we believe in our party and any candidate that emerges as its presidential candidate,” Kibiya declared.
The PDP chairman also criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s decision to join the opposition alliance under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the move as “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,” Kibiya stated.
Kibiya highlighted the party’s recent successes in conducting elections at various levels, including ward, local, and state levels, demonstrating the party’s 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,” he said.
The Kano PDP chairman reaffirmed the party’s loyalty to the national leadership and its commitment to supporting 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.
Kibiya concluded by expressing the Kano chapter’s wholehearted endorsement and support for the national leadership’s decisions.
“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,” he stressed.
