Kunle Suleiman, a chieftain of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kwara State, has said the party should
not re-admit the Senate President, Bukola Saraki into the party.
Suleiman, a founding chairman of
PDP in the state, claimed that Saraki was now an anathema in the state.
In a statement he issued on
Thursday, Suleiman appealed to the leadership of PDP to stay away from Saraki
if the party intended to win in Kwara State.
Suleiman cautioned that any
association with Saraki will lead to the electorate voting against the party in
the next elections.
He said, “The hope of PDP winning
the state would be dashed the moment Saraki is associated with the party
because the people have resolved not to go the way of Saraki again.”
Noting that it was erroneous to
regard any group of politicians as new PDP, he stressed that since a splinter
group led by Saraki left the party four years ago to form the All Progressives
Congress, APC, it amounts to a fraud to carry the “toga of PDP again”.
Suleiman said, “There is no new
PDP nor old PDP. Those who claimed to be nPDP particularly in Kwara State came
from APP to the PDP.
“We were happy that they came but
they came to destroy what the party stands for and later left in the guise of
new PDP to join APC.
“Their trade in stock is to
hijack another party and use it for their selfish interests alone, destroy it
and dump the party for another.
“They destroyed PDP, went to APC,
I think they must have satisfied themselves with the party (APC) and now
looking for where to go next.
“Presently, Dr. Saraki is a bad
product to electorate in Kwara, people will not vote for any party he goes to
in Kwara State.
“I trust the national body of PDP
will not accept him except we do not intend to win elections in the state.”
