Crisis will consume PDP, Nyako warns

Adamawa State governor, Murtala Nyako, yesterday declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will continue to wallow in crisis until the deluge of injustices currently perpetrated by a factional National Chairman, Alhaji BamangaTukur, is redressed. He warned that the crises will affect the fortunes of the party in elections across the nation.

Nyako spoke at the Government House Yola when he received a delegation of the new PDP stalwarts from Taraba State led by its chairman, Dr. AbdulmuminiVaki, on a solidarity visit.

The governor said the current chaotic developments in the party were not unexpected going by the level of impunity and subversion in the party.

Nyako said: 'The level of impunity being promoted has reached a level where 5 is greater than 27 and 16 is greater than 19.

'Even a kindergarten pupil will tell you that the arithmetic is highly criminalised'.

Nyako said any party seeking peace and progress cannot tolerate such high level of injustice that has now become the culture in the party.

'Nigerians cannot tolerate this highhandedness any longer. That is why you are seeing protests from every cranny of the nation and for these complaints to stop.

He reiterated that the clash in the party was a clash between positive and negative forces that have been on perpetual struggle.

'The two actors- Tukur and I- are Muslims. This altercation neither has religious nor ethnic coloration.

'The crisis is between justice and injustice and by the grace Allah justice will prevail at the end of the day.'

The governor said following the disposition of the national chairman to continue unleashing injustice without let or hindrance, concerned party faithful have no other means than to factionalise to restore sanity and order.
