Ahead the Supreme Court Judgment in the case between
Senator Ahmed Makarfi and Senator Modu Sherrif factions slated for Wednesday,
12th July, 2017, the Youth Coordinator of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) for the 19 Northern States Hon. Joel Jonathan Zilani has called on
all members of the Party to respect the decision of the Supreme Court and give
support to whomever the decision favours. Hon. Zilani made this statement while
speaking to selected journalists in Jos, the Plateau State capital on Tuesday,
11th July, 2017.
He said that his group is in possession of
information of alleged plans by both the Senators Sheriff;s and Makarfi’s groups
of their intensions to leave the PDP to other political parties most especially
one of the recently registered political parties if the decision of the Supreme
court does not favours any of the groups. According to him, the PDP remains the
biggest political party in Nigeria and in Africa with better ideals and
programmes that can take Nigeria to the promised land stressing that why the
party is in this squabbles is as a result of infiltration by outsiders aimed at
destabilizing the party and reduced its strength. Decamping to other parties by the PDP members
would fall in line with the wish and desire of PDP’s detractors whose aim is to
see the reduction of the strength of the party.
“We are calling on all the leaders and supportes of
the factional groups to consider the interest of the party against personal
interest as enunciated by the PDP Governor’s Forum calling on both factions not
to defect to other parties irrespective of the decision of the Supreme Court
Judgment”. He said.
The Youth Leader added that the PDP Youths in the 19
States have offered to support whoever the Judgement favours on Wednesday.
Hon. Zilani further commended members of the PDP,
most especially those in Plateau State for their steadfastness and tremendous
support to the party over the years.
