NYAKO JOINS APC Adamawa PDP Chairman, Chief Joel Madaki, on Tuesday accused Governor Murtala Nyako of being a member of the newly registered opposition All Progressives Congress, adding that the governor was implementing an agenda to weaken the PDP in the state. Madaki made the accusation as he directed political office holders elected on the platform of the party in the state to revalidate their membership as proof of loyalty to the party. Madaki, at a press conference in Yola said the party needed to know who were its loyal members, to take appropriate action on those found wanting. Madaki said only 12 of the 22 PDP members in the state assembly had revalidated their membership and advised others from national to local government levels to do the same “before it is too late”. He accused Gov. Murtala Nyako of working against the party’s interest, alleging that the governor was represented at the inauguration of All Progressives Congress (APC). “It is a known fact that his Secretary to the Government and two commissioners in his cabinet represented him during the launching of APC and were given a standing ovation on hearing that they were there to represent Nyako at the occasion. “The game plan at hand now is a deliberate act to weaken the PDP before Gov. Nyako makes a final bow out of PDP. “That is the reason why they are giving un-attainable conditions,” Madaki said. Reacting to the allegation, Mallam Ahmad Sajoh, the Director of Press Affairs to Gov Nyako, said the governor had already made it clear that he would not leave PDP. Sajoh said the presence of some Nyako’s supporters in APC was factual because the governor had told his supporters that who ever could not bear the current crisis in PDP was free to seek alternative party.
