Ahead of 2015 general election, the National Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, on Wednesday, warned that the party would no longer tolerate arrogant members in its fold, no matter how highly placed.
Alhaji Mu’azu handed down the warning in Abuja while receiving a communique from the Akwa Ibom State chapter of the party on their stakeholders’ meeting, which was held April 22.
The communique had lashed out at the former political adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, for coming to Akwa Ibom State and inaugurated a
sectional and an unknown support group in favour of President Jonathan without calling on the state’s party leadership and the state governor, Godswill Akpabio.
In the communiqué, which further advised President Jonathan to caution his aides, who it said were bent on causing disaffections in the various states of the federation, specifically warned Alhaji Gulak to desist from further interference in the affairs of the state chapter of the party, saying that the state did not need any assistance of anybody to persuade them to campaign for the president in 2015.
Receiving the communique, Alhaji Mu’azu disclosed that he had told President Jonathan that the party would no longer allow members who would cause disaffection to remain in the party.
He said he had told the president that “anybody who cannot remain focused and cool nerved cannot belong to this party.”
He pointed out that what was paramount for the party now was for it to win the 2015 presidential election and not engaging in political bickering.
Earlier, the state chairman of the PDP, Paul Ekpo, said that the state chapter of the party had passed a vote of confidence on President Jonathan and Mu’azu based on the achievements he had made within three months of assuming office.
Ekpo pointed out that “Akwa Ibom State is one party state under PDP” and that the governor, Godswill Akpabio, had galvanised the party into one formidable unit.
