Former speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Ghali Umar Na’Aba has resigned his membership of Peoples Democratic Party.
Na’aba in a letter dated March 15, 2015 and copied to the chairman of the PDP Sharada ward in Kano Municipal local government titled “Notification of Resignation from PDP, each organs and committees and also copied to the chairman PDP Kano State, chairman PDP North West Zone, chairman PDP national headquarters, and chairman PDP Board of Trustees accused President Jonathan of frustrating many PDP members out of the party.


Na’aba’s letter reads “You are no doubt aware of the abysmal level to which the leadership of our great Country under President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party have reduced governance to, as a result of which our great Party has been losing its sons and daughters including so many of its founding fathers and members by the day.”
According to the letter “All efforts of critical members and fathers of the Party to offer advice remain always unheeded. It pains most of us that majority of the founding fathers that had died like Chief S. M. Afolabi, Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar Rimi, Chief Solomon Lar, Professor Osammor, Chief S. B. Awoniyi etc all died as a result of their frustration by and with the Party.”
Na’aba stated “Those living like Dr. Alex Ekwueme, Malam Adamu Chiroma, Dr Shettima Mustapha, Alhaji Asheikh Jarma, Dr, Victor Odili, Mr. Isaac Shaahu and many others are equally living with such frustration. While others like Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Alhaji Isyaku Ibrahim, Alhaji Musa Gwadabe, two former National Chairmen, Chief Audu Ogbe and Chief Barnabas Gemade etc had since left the Party.”
Ghali Na’aba lamented “The Party and the administration clearly possess neither compassion nor empathy.The Country’s and the Party’s leadership have become cabalised to the extent that while Nigerians are aware that they have a President in the person of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, they are at the same time at a loss as to who governs their Country.”
The soft spoken former MP noted in the letter “both Nigeria and the PDP are left to drift. In the sixteen years the Party has been ruling at the center, the Party’s leadership has failed to lead by example.”
The former Speaker who enjoyed turbulent tenure under President Olusegun Obasanjo lamented “Instead, it has left us with the conventional wisdom that people cannot succeed in life unless they are ruthless and unprincipled. The Party has become characterized by corruption and impunity in the way and manner candidates for elective positions are being selected to the extent that in almost twenty states, crisis has engulfed the Party over the Gubernatorial primaries and the manner other candidates for other elective positions emerged.”
Na’aba who lost reelection bid in 2003 stressed “In short, the Party and the Country’s leadership have failed to consolidate democratic gains for sister African Countries and other transition Countries to follow. Instead, under the current leadership, Nigeria is suffering from loss of esteem, as we are now most often consigned to the back seat of international relations. Most worrisome is the current anxiety of most Nigerians as the regime wobbles and tumbles toward the oncoming election.”
“It has today become incontrovertible that cartels and shady characters are
becoming visible, important and indispensable factors in Nigeria’s governance. It appears those at the helm of affairs are more comfortable with such characters of easy virtue than with patriotic and altruistic Nigerians. No doubt, in our Country today, the quality of governance is going down by the day; the onetime lion of the House of Representatives bemoans.
He maintained “Critical National Institutions that unify and wield Nigerians together have been dragged into politics, contrary to wise counsel and political correctness. No administration has used religion and ethnicity to divide Nigerians more than the current administration

Noted

more are planning to go before 28 march. you can stop the wind of CHANGE

Sai Buhari

Well goodluck to him, I expect the likes of lamido to follow suit, they've never been with GEJ from their body language, GEJ was in kano and ghali was no where to be found...

So the defection was expected, I have always said it those GEJ surrounds himself with are his worst enemies, if he GEJ survive all this political back stabbing and betrayer, then the Goodluck attached to his name really worked for him...

Keep it coming. Buhari, the unstoppable.

No sane, patriotic Nigerian should remain in PDP at this moment. Except, of cause, the criminals who want to protect their loot, and the cabals at the corridors of power who have no more integrity and credibility to lose.

Welcome to APC, everybody!

Alphaoscar:






@op, please stop peddling half truth over the forum.


He resigned from PDP but no where did he ever mentioned joining APC and for your information not everybody rooting for Buhari or against Jonathan is in APC and the last time I checked there are more than 10 political parties he can join apart from APC.


Let's wait till he officially declare for whichever part he is joining before we conclude and he may even decide to retire from active or partisan politics like Obj.

Thanks for d observation

After the Presidential Elections which Buhari would win, more PDP Governors would still defect
