The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has vowed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would provide a credible platform for Nigerians to actualise their dreams.
Speaking at Thursday’s 101st National Executive Committee (NEC) party meeting in Abuja, he stated that the PDP would give the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) a fight for its life in the forthcoming general elections.
He urged party members not to insult those who have left the PDP, maintaining that they would soon understand their wrongdoing.
Mohammed said, “We will give the APC credible running for their money, in terms of contests that will be given on a level playing field with the party that is in touch.”
He insisted that the PDP is better placed to drive any political coalition or alliance because it is the main opposition.
“We don’t have to make a lot of noise or cause more disparaging issues. We are working behind the scenes, behind the NWC, behind the BOT, the caucuses of the National Assembly, and the state chapters, to ensure that we remain intact and provide a credible platform for Nigerians to actualise their aspirations.
“As the BoT secretary has said, this is not time for calling names. This is not time for abuse. We sympathise with those who became impatient and left, but certainly, they will understand their fault. We will still leave the door ajar for them to come in when they wish to, within a time limit,” he added.
The Bauchi governor cautioned that the opposition party will no longer condone indiscipline within its fold, noting that indiscipline has brought the PDP so much trouble
“We will not continue to condone indiscipline because indiscipline is what brought us all the problems and challenges. Definitely, the party has shown resilience, and the governors are going through a lot of challenges, just like the NWC.
“We continue to express confidence in the organs of the party, especially the NWC, who have shown magnanimity to even agree to go earlier than their time. They have shown that at least they are with us. They have shown selflessness, and we should always appreciate that.
“If everybody stands and becomes dogmatic, we are not going to where we are going. We thank the founding fathers who have come to rescue our image to a large extent. Yesterday’s outing was so good, and it has really placed us in a place where we should be. We have fathers. We have mothers. We are the sons of the party.
“We are ready to work with you so that no personal interest will divide us. Our ambition is no more important than the nation. We must be able to hide our personal ambition, either as governors or just seeking presidency, so that we can leave a level playing field that will be attested to and recognised by the regulator INEC,” he stated.
