Former Information Minister and elder statesman, Edwin Clark has called for the immediate resignation of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, over the party’s primary election.

Clark said Ayu’s undignified conduct during the PDP’s presidential election was a disgrace to the office he occupies.

The elder statesman accused the PDP National Chairman of trying to please Northern principals.

He was reacting to the decision of the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal to withdraw from the presidential race during the party’s primary election.



Clark noted that Tambuwal’s action showed that there was a game plan for Atiku Abubakar to emerge as PDP’s presidential candidate.

In a statement he signed, Clark said Tambuwal’s action had shown that there were “pressures mounted on Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki to also withdraw, while Tambuwal deliberately delayed his action till the last minute. By so doing, he unduly swept his North West votes to Atiku Abubakar.

“This clearly reveals his partiality and predilection in the processes leading to the baffling conclusion of the PDP Presidential Primary. His undignified and parochial conduct to please his northern principals is not only a big disgrace to the office he occupies but, also a sad display of lewd subservience to the political subjugation of one ethnic group, in a diverse country like Nigeria.
