The Northern Elders Unity Forum of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and his political allies of plotting to destroy the party and weaken opposition politics in Nigeria.
In a communiqué issued at the end of its 18th General
Meeting, the Forum reaffirmed its unwavering confidence in the leadership of
the PDP Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Iliya Umar Damagum, while
condemning what it described as “desperate moves” by certain members to derail
the forthcoming national convention scheduled for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan,
Oyo State.
The National Secretary of the Forum, Dr. Abbas Sadauki (Dan
Madamin Tofa), in a strongly worded statement, said the decision to defend the
unity of the party was unanimous and unwavering.
“No amount of political intimidation, blackmail, or lies
against the unity of the party will stop the successful organization of the
national convention in Ibadan,” he declared.
Sadauki accused some members of the National Working
Committee (NWC) of colluding with external political forces to destabilize the
party from within.
“Those misleading groups within the party to scuttle the
convention are mere jokers — predators unleashed against the collective
interest. Their unholy alliance with enemies of progress will soon end in
political shame and regret,” he warned.
The Forum alleged that the internal sabotage within the PDP
was being fueled by Wike’s political influence and personal ambitions.
“It is unfortunate that some ungrateful elements, under the
guidance of Mr. Nyesom Wike, are bent on destroying everything good about the
PDP and other opposition movements. Whether through court cases or misuse of
power, their mission is clear — to wreck the party. But they will fail,”
Sadauki stated.
Expressing full solidarity with the current leadership, the
Forum commended Ambassador Damagum and other loyal stakeholders for their
steadfastness in steering the party toward unity and revival ahead of the 2027
general elections.
“The commitment shown by Ambassador Damagum and genuine
party leaders is a patriotic sacrifice aimed at rebuilding and repositioning
the PDP for future victory,” the statement added.
The Forum also cautioned the judiciary and President Bola
Ahmed Tinubu against political actors allegedly attempting to manipulate
national institutions to undermine democracy.
“We appeal to the judiciary not to be misled by desperate
elements who have become willing tools in destroying democracy. They are
enemies of progress and a burden to the nation,” the group stated.
Reaffirming its absolute loyalty to the PDP leadership, the
Northern Elders Unity Forum maintained that the decision of the National
Executive Committee (NEC) to proceed with the convention remains binding and
must be respected by all members.
The communiqué concluded by stressing that support for
Ambassador Damagum’s leadership is “unshakable,” urging all disciplined members
to uphold the NEC’s decision to protect the unity, integrity, and future of the
party.
