Ex-Nigerian Ambassador To The UK Dr. Dalhatu Tafida Quits PDP - Sahara Reporters by LRNZH(m): 11:32pm On Feb 20, 2016

Dalhatu Sarki Tafida

The immediate past Nigeria's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and founding member of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Dalhatu Sarki Tafida today dumped the party.

Tafida, who headed victorious former President Goodluck Jonathan's presidential campaign in 2011, said, PDP market in Nigeria's politics is over, and no sensible man will remain in a market that has closed shop.

Speaking in a special BBC Hausa interview monitored in Lagos, Tafida, who is from Kaduna state said there is no more respect for the party.

"I have decided to leave PDP, and I will not join another party. I left because there is no focus, if a market is over, a responsible man should go home. Now the market is over. It was good in the past, but now it is the worst, with impunity and confusion.

"The party has been destroyed and reduced to nothing, and I have decided to dump the party. I don't think our stay in the party is wise, because the people now abuse everyone, and no one will even listen to you."


He also condemned the way and manner, the party is being run by party leaders hurling series of insults daily and refusing counsel by party elders.

He concluded that he is not joining any political party but will continue to offer his services for national development.

Nigeria with its fair weather politicians.
Less than a year after losing power, they cannot stand firm to rebrand and rebuild the PDP which they have looted our treasury to sustain in 16years.

These feable minded reprobates are too much in a hurry to escape the rigours of opposition politics.

Who is he?
These are the ones we don't want in PDP, good thing he left before he was pushed.
Expect Sahara reporters to elevate this man to god-like status to suit their narrative.
This man cannot win his PU in Kaduna, not relevant in Nigeria of today.

A PDP founding Father. A member of the G-34. Do some research on these group of men. Even Abacha could not intimidate them when they met in Ekwueme's house in Ikoyi, Lagos, and courageously signed their names on a letter addressed to Sani Abacha, urging him for the sake of Nigeria to abandon his plans of becoming a life president.

He was never a heavyweight politician, you don't give ambassadorial positions to people with political importance and capital.

Dr. Alex Ekwueme was part of that group and he got nothing after the formation of PDP. These were very courageous men.

My brother, their illiteracy will affect me by virtue of sharing the same country with them.

@ Tippytop, other notable members of the G-34 include Dr. Alex Ekwueme, Malam Adamu Ciroma, Chief Bola Ige, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Dr. Tunji Otegbeye, Senator Onyeka Okoroafor, Alhaji Abubakar Rimi, Chief Silas Daniyan, Chief Solomon Lar, Alhaji Lawal Kaita to mention a few.

Maybe you were still a political novice in the late 90s hence you don't recognise their relevance.

You're just being conveniently silly.
Tafida was Jonathan's campaign DG in 2011. He helped your cleulessly ineffectual hero win that election.

LOL. A G-34 and PDP founding member rebrand with Ali Modu Sheriff in charge? I don't understand how you people think but there are lots of folks out there who still care about their integrity.

If he was that important Dr Jonathan would have brought him back before the election, don't be fooled, he can barely win his PU.

The G-whatever has served its political purpose. You don't deify or attach past glory (if there was any) to compromised politicians.
The concept of integrity is just another word for convenience.

What will he bring to the table, tell me why PDP would miss his presence. Modu Sherriff was a founding member of ANPP and APC, a close friend of Buhari, did his defection affect Buhari's political capital in 2015 election.
Dare I say it again, Who is he?

You won't send someone abroad if you thought that person has what it takes to make you win an election.

This aboki won't be missed by PDP, hence I asked who he was.

Things have fallen apart in PDP yet they're winning elections back to back? It would interest you to know PDP won in the North today, say hello to Senator David Mark.

Go talk to people from Benue South Senatorial Zone. The APC candidate Daniel Onjeh did not stand much of a chance. Everyone intimate with the local politics knew this all along. Do not let David Mark's win deceive you. This is an advice.
