"PDP Is Losing Members" - Bamanga Tukur by Nobody: 2:30pm On Sep 11, 2012
THE National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, yesterday, cried out that the party was losing its members to opposition political parties.

He attributed this exodus to crises bedeviling the party across the country, just as he inaugurated an eight-member committee to reconcile all aggrieved members of the party in Kano State.


Speaking while inaugurating the committee which has a four-time Minister, Alabo Tonye Graham-Douglas as Chairman, Tukur who noted that there must be no communication gap at all levels of the party, stressed the need to reconcile all disgruntled members if the position of PDP as the leading party in the country must be retained.

The committee which has two weeks to submit its report to the National Working Committee, NWC, would determine the nature of disagreements among members as well as come up with ways to nip them in the bud.

Other members of the committee are former Borno State Governor, Mohammed Goni; Yerima Abdulahi, Senator Kassim Victor Oyofo, Yaro Makama Rigachuku, Abike Maina, Mohammed Wakil and Amb. Aminu Abdullahi.

The PDP National Chairman who recalled his election promise to pursue a policy of Reconciliation, Reformation and Rebuilding (3Rs) and to ensure justice and equity in the party, said, “we have got to reduce disagreement to the barest minimum. There are people who feel aggrieved. So, reconciliation is paramount.

“Our party is losing membership. When we started in 1998 up till date, we have seen many people gone. We can’t allow it to continue like that. These people are still there. They are members of our party. They are still there. It means that they like the party.”

Tukur, however, cited the instance of Edo State where he said the PDP lost the recent governorship election as a result of infighting in the party. He said: “See Edo, why did we lose the election? It was because of factions arising from misunderstanding. It is like big dogs fighting and the lead one came to take the bone away. It is important for me to reconcile our people, to rebuild our party and you cannot rebuild the party unless you reconcile.”

According to him, the PDP would constitute similar committees in all the zones of the country “to talk to our people, because we want to give our people good governance without imposition, without injustice.”

While noting that it was important to reconcile the PDP factions in Kano State, the Chairman, however, urged members of the committee to help the party achieve the noble objective it has set for itself, adding “Kano is important. If there is any misunderstanding, we want to reconcile. They are still in PDP but there are factions.”

He directed the committee to find out the problems and identify the cause of the problems as well as find a way to resolve them, adding that the opposition was watching and would exploit every opportunity.

Responding, the committee chairman noted that the party chairman had chosen men of integrity and honour, assuring that “we will carry out the assignment given to us faithfully and with integrity.”

Yep... Let the killer party keep losing members. It is imperative for our democracy that we have an opposition party that is AT LEAST AS BIG as the PDP all across the nation, so that any party that messes up in office can be kicked out.

As soon as these "Killer members" of the "Killer party" cross over to other parties, they automatically transform to progressives grin with all sinful labels erased . . .

If we must make giant strides politically, we need parties to formulate,adopt and maintain distinct ideologies that will influence their dealings at all sphere . .

These cross carpeting fan fare we keep entertaining changes nothing . . .

These PDP leaders always uniformly sound dishonest, deluded and depraved when they talk. How about admitting that Edo folks are happy with Oshiomhole and that they hate everything PDP because the "nest of killers" only provided the ultra-crooked Igbinedion to loot Edo into bankruptcy.

Nigerian politicians are like prostitutes with no ideology.
Loosing a primary election alone is enough reason for a member to cross the carpet.
IMHO, same rogues in pdp are same we find in acn, if acn were in power, we really wont be having it different.

Everyone must not remain in the same place for a long time, people will have to move to create chances for others. That is the irony of life. It does not change the position and power of he PDP. It's jus like saying 5 friends that grow up together, and they still die @ the same place.
Re: "PDP Is Losing Members" - Bamanga Tukur by 1025: 4:57pm On Sep 11, 2012
the only way nigeria will have the change we deserve is to have an opposition party in office.
until that is done, we will continue having dogs and beats as rulers.
Re: "PDP Is Losing Members" - Bamanga Tukur by 2rutalk1: 4:59pm On Sep 11, 2012
As far as I am concerned, no political is better. Let ACN assume the same power PDP controlling now and you see that "the devil you know is better than the angel you have never seen". All politicians are the same irrespective of their Party affiliations. When we talk of lack of internal democracy/imposition of candidates, ACN should take the lead. Those who are leaving PDP are doing so with that same evil blood to contaminate the opposition Party.

Keep rejoicing over nothin.. The largest party in subsahara africa is only being proactive by raising alarm on the need 2 reconcile all agrieved parties ahead of 2015... Why d PDP will remain the best because they have got great dispute settling mechanism.. Any party in nigeria that undergoes half the crisis PDP had undergone is as good as dead.

Quote " See Edo why did we lose the election? It was because of factions arising from misunderstanding. It is like big dogs fighting and the little one came to take the bone away"

This analogy tells you a lot about Nigerian politics and the PDP mindset. The governership position to them is a bone and they are big dogs.There is no question of responsibility and service in the whole response from the chairman of the killer greedy party. The people Edo state do not even count as stakeholders. As far as Tukur is concerned it was just the infighting in PDP that decides the victory. We all assumed that Oshimole was doing a good job and Edo people wanted him to continue . But acceding to Tukur that had no effect on Oshimole's success at the polls. What a bunch of arrogant tyrannical basstards!

Indeed. In politically sophisticated climes, folks would actually find Tukur's talk nauseating and crassly depraved but Nigeria is not even pretending to be a Nation these days so why should Political leaders not openly speak like crooks who "don't give a damn" and don't see what really matters?
