…says he will sink with PDP than defect to APC
By Soni Daniel, Regional Editor, North
Immediate Political Adviser to President Goodluck
Jonathan, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, has denied ever defecting
from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
Gulak, who was reported to have openly decamped to APC
on Wednesday along with other PDP chieftains in Yola, told
Vanguard in Abuja on Thursday that he was not present at
the venue of the ceremony and that his name was
fraudulently used to score cheap political points.
“I want to say that I will remain a staunch PDP member
despite the loss of the presidential election by our great
party. Rather than defect to the APC, I will join forces with
like-minded Nigerians to make the PDP to bounce back in
the years to come,” Gulak said.
The Adamawa-born lawyer, said that even though the PDP
lost the presidential election, it was not justified for its
members to hurriedly desert the party for the APC, accusing
the defectors of betrayal and dishonesty.
Gulak said that he had before now drawn the attention of
Mr. President to the fact that many of those who were
brought into the PDP as key members were actually
enemies and not committed members willing to work for the
success of the party.
He said his views were not however taken seriously
because of those who were working hard to tarnish him
before the government and get him out of sight.
Gulak said the PDP lost the last election because of the
unresolved nomination crisis that arose from the imposition
of anointed candidates by top officials of the party in all the
states of the federation.
The former presidential aide said: “In the first place, the
PDP did not see the crisis created in all the states of the
federation. The party did not go into that election as a
united entity as expected.
“Across the country the nomination process was contrary to
the party constitution. You could see that in some states,
the candidates were imposed on the party and that
alienated party faithful from the party and caused more
division for the system.
“As human beings, not many will take time to think. But we
have now seen where the party went wrong and we have to
return to the drawing board with a view to winning in 2019.
We are going to see who played what role in the current
crisis and if need be we may ask those culpable to step
aside and new hands will take over to rebuild confidence
and enhance its winning power in the next election,” he
said.

there were many moles within the presidency .......indeed a pure case of betrayal
