Some party faithfuls of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have cautioned party elders in Kano State against selection of executives as against conduct of free and fair election directed by the national leaders.
This is coming against the backdrop of party’s concluded arrangement to conduct ward, local and states congresses across the country.
In an interview with newsmen on behalf of the party members, Hon Abubakar Hashim (Dan PDP), said sequel to the rumours making round that there will be no more election into the executive offices as some party leaders have alledgedly prepared the lists of those to be anmounced at wards and local government levels.
This arrangement defied the provision of the party’s constitution and guidelines that the national party leaders and major stakeholders such as governors have promised not only party members but Nigerians, he explained.
According to him, all party members interested in any position at whatever level should endevour to participate as being announced by the state caretaker of the party that reiterated its position to conduct free and fair congresses in the state.
“PDP members in Kano are ready to participate in fair and free congresses, no kangroo arrangement will be accepted because our party remains a democratic party,” he added.
Hon Hashim therefore called on Kano PDP members across the state to dismiss the insinuation that the elders’ alleged prepared list will be endorsed by the caretaker committee for onward transmission to national leadership as consensus reached by PDP members in Kano.
He also solicited for more understanding among PDP members in Kano to make the party stronger ahead of the 2027 national elections.
