Dahiru, who is the Baraden Bauchi, said any attempt to force the National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu, and his executive to throw in the towel would reduce the PDP to a regional party.
He said the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP must not be blamed for the party’s poor outing in the general election, saying that there was no basis for comparison between the United Kingdom election and the Nigeria elections.
He words: “In the UK, the political party conducted its campaigns but in Nigeria the campaigns were carried out by support groups and a high-powered team whose members were selected by the top.
“Apart from sidelining the party in the campaign, there are other issues that are responsible for the defeat of PDP at the just concluded general elections. The remote causes of PDP’s defeat include glaring impunity, high level corruption, uncontrolled insecurity, injunction and godfathers.”
The politician believed that the immediate cause of the defeat of the party in the presidential election and the loss of the party in most northern states was because of the hate campaigns against the North, especially the one by Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, adding that the unguarded utterance by the ‘Big Madam’ also had negative impact in the North
When the unguarded utterances continued unabated, according to him, over 90 per cent of the supporters of the PDP had a rethink about voting for the PDP.
