The Forum of PDP Professionals in Kogi has asked the
National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to disqualify three aspirants who
are from the same family but seeking the party’s ticket to contest the November
16 governorship election in the state.
The group said this should be done before the party primary
scheduled for next Tuesday.
A letter to the National Secretary of the party, Alhaji Umar
Tsauri, which was signed by the group’s Coordinator, Dr Temitope Atteh, said
unless the three aspirants were pushed out of the race, the party would
ultimately be defeated by the APC at the polls.
The PDP aspirants included the former governor of the state,
Idris Wada; his younger brother, Engr. Musa Wada; and the brother in-law of
Engr. Wada, Mr Abubakar Ibrahim Idris.
“There is palpable fear across the leadership and rank and
file of our party that if this danger is not confronted and contained before we
go into primaries, it may become intractable thereafter and could ignite series
of actions and reactions that will lead to failure of our party at the polls ,”
he said.
Dr. Atteh lamented that the party’s stakeholders and elders
were divided, stressing that the development was dangerous for the party.
