One of the National chairmanship aspirants of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Niger state and a former Governorship Aspirant in the state HE Sidi Abdul Bomi Gulu , Kaura Lapai, Wali Gulu has lauded the peaceful climax of the 98th National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the party over the week.
He said contrary to the expectations of pundits the party by its resolution has shown maturity and adherence to the rules of democracy by soundly viewing the state of the nation and the party to come out with a far reaching resolution.
The Former Governorship aspirant who is being tipped to have a good chance to clinch the national chairmanship position of the party, noted that with the resolution, it was obvious the needed cohesion is infused into the party for a better future.
The chieftain said PDP has shown example that it is a party that believes in the basic principles of democracy and has reassured Nigerians of the better future ahead.
He however appealled to the party hierarchy to look into the possibility of zoning the national chairmanship of the party to the north central and by all fair and just purposes other states in the north central should allow Niger; the only state that has not produced National chairman from the zone to take the slot.
While expressing optimism that the future holds a better chance for PDP , he posited that the party needed a renaissance that will foster unity of purpose among members .
Bomi Gulu lauded all leaders of the party especially the Governors’ Forum led by Governor of Bauchi State Alhaji Bala Mohammed Kauran Bauchi for working assiduously for the cohesion of the party .
He said the Bauchi state Governor has displayed rare statesmanship to have rallied his colleagues for a peaceful NEC meeting and coming out with robust positions, signalling a brighter future for all members and Nigeria as a whole.
The Party chieftain therefore appealed to all members to put their differences aside and support the path of peace and unity irrespective of personal interest.
