The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party may be presently engulfed in the battle of its lives, but they seem to be forgetting a group of aggrieved party members.
These group are; the PDP aspirants who paid bought forms to contest the party’s primary elections but were denied the opportunity to contest.
They are present in almost all the PDP states and have in the past couple of months, been coming out to demand for a refund of their monies.
A group of PDP members in this category from Adamawa state have made their case known in Yola.
The group ironically named PDP Aggrieved Aspirants Forum, have threatened to drag the party to court if their money is not returned.
Their leader, Liazaru Aliada-Gugu, said:
“We the aggrieved PDP aspirants bought forms to contest the primary election and since they did not conduct any primary election, it is only natural for them to return our money. We have made our request known to the leadership of our party both at the state and national level.
“They have promised to address the issue but up till now they have not done anything. When we met the national leader of the party and the national chairman of the party, they agreed to do something about us and we were satisfied with that meeting. But after several weeks of waiting without response we are left with no other option than to take our case to court.”
