Someone wants the immediate resignation of all the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party… because of the party’s woeful performance across the nation during the general elections.
A former governorship aspirant of the PDP in Adamawa State, Dr. Umar Ardo, has implored party leaders at national level to resign.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Ardo stated that the resignation of the party leaders would enable it to be better structured.
He said: “Against the backdrop of the disastrous performance of the PDP in the 2015 general elections, both at the national and state levels, it is my view that the PDP national leadership must take full responsibility and consequently resign their offices forthwith, if the party is to reposition itself and recapture power in the nearest future.”
“Although the candidacy of (President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu) Buhari was seemingly unassailable in the circumstances of the 2015 national politics, it is clear to all discerning pundits that the actions, inactions and choices of the party’s national leaderships were mainly responsible for the creation of these unfavourable political circumstances.”
“To this extent, the party leaderships can be said to be mainly responsible for the party’s defeat. To this end, therefore, I call upon all members of the National Working Committee and the leadership of the Board of Trustees to honourably resign their offices.”
