Governor Muázu Babangida Aliyu of Niger
state has told the defeated Niger-East All
Progressive Congress (APC) candidate and
two time defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party
(ANPP) Governorship candidate, Mr. David
Umaru to retrace his steps from opposition
forces back to the ruling PDP for him to
succeed in his political adventures.
David Umaru cut his teeth politically in
2007 when he contested the Peopes
Democratic Party (PDP) primaries but lost
to late Alhassan Ahmed Gunna, a serving
Permanent Secretary and anointed
candidate of the then, Governor Abdulkadir
Kure.
Governor Aliyu speaking at government
house when he presented the certificate of
return to the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Niger-East Senator elect in last
Saturdays’ by-election, Dr. Shem Zagbayi
Nuhu said he is appealing to Umaru to
come back to the PDP fold.
“I am appealing to David Umaru to come
back home to the PDP because his
success is more in the PDP”, Governor
Aliyu said as he affirmed that the electoral
fortunes of David Umaru will be better
enhanced if he returns back to the PDP
where he cut his political teeth.
Babangida Aliyu confessed that last
Saturday’s Niger-east senatorial by-
election was the toughest electoral contest
he has ever been involved in in his years
of political career. He said, “Let him
retrace his steps and come back home
because that is where he started”.
According to the Governor, “Since I began
my foray into politics in 1983 as a fresher
from school the last Saturday 30 th August
by-election which was concluded in
supplementary election on 6 th of
September has been the toughest”.
According to him, there was need for the
PDP to put its house in order in the state,
stressing that the experience in the last by-
election has clearly shown that there are
moles in the party that are working against
the party’s interest.
The worst enemies of the party are not
from the opposition but, those who are
sabotaging it from within, adding that
some are doing it out of vengeance, greed
and outright mischief, saying, “We must
use this situation to learn a lot of lesson
even though as a government we have
done enough if we must be honest”.
A visibly angry Aliyu relief all his Political
Mobilization Officers (PMOs) of their
duties and said, anybody interested in the
past must apply just as he cautioned
against selecting candidates by mere
names and not on political weight capable
of commanding followership.
“I hereby direct every PDP member elected
or appointed to go back to their units,
wards and local government councils to
relate with their people for 2015. The truth
is that, there must be a symbiotic
relationship between the elected, appointed
officials with the people”.
Governor Aliyu also appealed to the party
to henceforth only present candidates that
has electoral values instead of
impositions. “Let us bring in candidates
that will win election”.
Speaking earlier, Senator elect, Dr. Shem
Zagbayi Nuhu warned PDP members to
either shape up or lose 2015, warning that
members of the party that are playing
spoilers role within the party are playing
with fire, explaining that should the party
be voted out of power, most of them lacked
what it takes to survive as opposition
members.
“Some of us are taken our being in
government from 1999 to date for granted
but, I know some of us lacks skills to
survive and will be hospitalized. The truth
is that I always prefer to be a floor member
of a wining party than the Presidential
candidate of a losing party”.
