Where Does Atiku Stand? PDP Removes His Name From List
One is forced to ask where former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar really
stand in PDP politics as he will not vote in the Peoples Democratic
Party forthcoming national convention because his name is not on the
list of delegates submitted to the party from his home state, Adamawa.
The party has tentatively slated August 20 for the special mini convention.
The list signed by the party’s chairman in the state, Mr. Joel Madaki,
an ally of the National Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Bamanga Tukur, also
contained the name of Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, a man who
does not belong to the Madaki faction.
The party has tentatively slated August 20 for the special mini convention.
Former Information Minister and Chairman PDP Convention Planning
Committee, Prof. Jerry Gana, had said only those that voted at the 2012
convention, where the members of the party’s National Working Committee
were elected, would vote at the mini convention.
The report of INEC on the convention that faulted the emergence some of the party officials at the convention, compelled 20 of them to resign recently. The party’s National Executive Committee accepted their resignation at its June meeting.
A list of the March 20, delegates’ list was signed by Kaugama Mijijinwa as the Adamawa State chairman. However, the fresh list by Madaki faction did also not contain the name of Mijijinwa as a delegate.
