Reps member, Tajudeen Yusuf, tackles PDP elders for mismanaging crisis
by Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr
Tajudeen Yusuf, a representative for Kogi State’s Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu district in the House of Representatives, chastised several PDP elders on Wednesday for handling internal squabbles poorly.
This was said by Yusuf in the Politics Today episode of Channels Television.
Because Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Delta State, has been selected as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate, the PDP is currently mired in a protracted controversy.
The party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, is being called out by Nyesome Wike’s supporters for his involvement in the situation as the widely predicted candidate for the position of governor of Rivers State.
During the interview, the lawmaker noted that Wike’s anger was about how the selection of Atiku’s running mate was conducted by the party.
He alleged some top members of the party were taking advantage of the rift to settle unnecessary scores.
He, therefore, charged members of the opposition party to come together in the interest of the country and present a formidable alternative in 2023.
Yusuf said: “Governor Wike was angered by the manner in which the vice presidential candidate of the party was nominated. As it is, some elders in the party have mismanaged the situation. They are using the rift to settle personal issues. This isn’t really good at the moment.
“The party must look at the issue dispassionately because it has high chances to win the forthcoming election. We must not spoil the only opportunity to get to power in 2023. The candidate must not allow the destruction. We must also understand that what’s happening now is not about personalities, but 203 elections.”
