We Will Confront Anyone Who Attempts To Obstruct Party’s Progress- PDP Governors
The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has said the governors are not coward and ready to confront anyone who attempts to obstruct the party’s progress.
Mohammed gave this warning during the inauguration of the National Convention Planning Committee on Tuesday, while reacting to threats by the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and his allies, who have continued to challenge the party’s National Elective Convention scheduled for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
On Monday in Abuja, after their meeting, Wike’s camp listed six conditions the PDP leadership must meet for the convention to hold peacefully.
However, the governors pledged to enforce discipline within the party, declaring that the PDP will not yield to arrogance, impunity, or divisive tendencies.
Speaking on behalf of the governors, Mohammed insisted that the governors would not be distracted, stressing that the convention would proceed as planned.
Bauchi Governor stated, “We are not cowards, and we are not afraid of anybody. We are capable of navigating this party beyond the shenanigans, beyond the arrogance, and beyond the impunity of others.
“We cannot continue to take part and allow people to take us to the slaughterhouse. That’s our job.
“And our job is to make sure we don’t go to the slaughterhouse. And we are working as governors and working with the committee to ensure that. The keyword is discipline. We will no longer allow or tolerate anybody to take us for granted. It has to stop. Enough is enough. We are not going to tolerate it any longer.”
