#PDP Elders In Kano Pledge With Governor Kwankwaso, If He Chooses To Pull Out of The Party As the crisis rocking the People Democratic Party (PDP) continues, the Elders Committee of the New PDP in Kano state has affirmed they will fight to the end to support Governor Musa Kwankwaso until the demands of the seven governors are met, even if it means pulling out of the party completely. The assertion was made at a press conference in Kano on Monday addressed by the chairman of the committee, Amb. Kabiru Rabi’u, who said they were merely waiting for further directives from the governor, who will determine the next line of action. “We the elders of the party in the state were 100 percent with our able governor, Dr. Kwankwaso,” he said, adding that they would equally go with him to any party he wishes if the demands of the G7 are not respected. The party said it vehemently opposed the call credited to the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih that President Goodluck Jonathan and some governors be given automatic tickets to contest the 2015 elections, describing it as undemocratic and a glaring case of contempt in the case of Atiku vs PDP. The decision of the Elders Committee comes as the new PDP also said the party will go to court over the recent appointment of the caretaker committee inaugurated by the old PDP, an organ that refused to organize a new election to fill the expired tenure of former executive. According to Amb. Rabi’u, the policy of consensus arrangement and “adoption” rather than transparent election to produce candidates for elections including the presidency, is “totally unacceptable to us.”
