Abdul-Aziz Na’ibi Abubakar, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has attributed the departure of former Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha from the party to the actions of Governor Nyesom Wike and his “disastrous G5.”
In a statement released on Tuesday, April 23, Abubakar questioned the wisdom of Ihedioha’s decision, given the role he has played in the party’s founding and development.
“I still believe leaving the party is not the best decision,” Abubakar said. “Why would you leave the house you built for a robber?”
He expressed concern about the impact of Ihedioha’s departure on the party’s younger members who have yet to benefit from it but remain committed to its cause.
“If the party elders can’t stay and fight for the party till the very end,” Abubakar asked, “what do you want the youth that never benefited from the party but keep on sacrificing their time, energy, and resources because they believe in the party to do?”
Ihedioha had resigned from the PDP earlier that day, citing the party’s deviation from its core principles and a variance with his personal beliefs. CONTINUE READING
