Frontline PDP presidential
aspirant, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, has chastised the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led Federal Government for ignoring the report of the 2014 National
Conference.
He said Nigerians have entered
“one chance” in the Buhari and All Progressives Congress, APC led government.
Turaki stated this while
addressing the Ebonyi State PDP executive committee, other party bigwigs from
across the state and delegates to the party’s national convention in Abakaliki
on Thursday.
Turaki, who was one of the
members of the nationa conference, noted that the “report would have assisted
the government in dealing with the issues of devolution of power, resource
control, restructuring and other issues that have triggered injustice, tension
and violence across the country. It is better to jaw-jaw (dialogue) than
war-war”.
The politician lamented that the
“betrayal of the people’s trust by the All Progressives Congress, which has
inflicted poverty, economic hardship, insecurity, disunity, injustice and,
despotic and insensitive leadership on the people, stressing that Nigerians
have now entered a ‘One Chance vehicle (a euphemism for deception).'”
He restated his commitment to
addressing the issue of creating an additional state in the South East,
adopting a more functional strategy to tackle insecurity and economic downturn,
and also rebuilding the trust and confidence of the people in themselves and
their leaders.
The former Minister insisted that
PDP needs to present a standard bearer who has integrity, vision,
well-educated, knowledgeable, a unifier and someone dynamic enough to cope
better with the burden of leadership.
He, however, warned that wresting
power from the APC in 2019 will not be a ‘tea party’ and urged all PDP members
nationwide to brace up for the battle ahead.
