The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned former Kano State governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso against incendiary utterances capable of destabilizing the National Assembly and rubbishing the prevailing political tranquility in the country. PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Tuesday said the party was particularly shocked by the hate statement from Senator Kwankwaso wherein he used offensive language on the PDP and its members in the National Assembly.
The party said it was “taken
aback by the venom and bitterness in the statement especially coming from a
former governor, an elected senator, a highly respected former member of the
PDP, who also benefitted hugely from the party as minister and two-time state
governor.
The PDP
said it would have wished not to join issues with politicians who grew their
political profile in the party no matter where they are at the moment, but
regretted that “Senator Kwankwaso went too far in declaring the party dead just
because he is aggrieved that the Senate Presidency did not go his way.”
It said it
was “indecorous, mischievous and misleading for anybody to declare a party with
an enviable history as the PDP, with 14 state governors, 47 Senators and hundreds
of members in the House of Representatives and State Houses of Assembly dead.”
"Where
was Senator Kwankwaso when a party he claimed was dead defeated his choice
candidate in the Senate? Was it a dead party that was able to do what according
to Kwankwaso, no other party could do in the 16 years of PDP control of the
National Assembly?
“Indeed, we found it
very baffling that such unguarded statement came from a person who contested for
the high office of the president of Nigeria.
Statements from such
personalities should be decorous, statesmanly and focused on the national
interest instead of promoting acrimony and division in the polity. This unfortunate
outburst is well below Senator Kwankwaso’s character and status and we urge him
to desist from such”, the PDP said.
The
party underlined
that Senator Kwankwaso and other APC leaders should rather be grateful
to PDP senators for being disciplined and not using their preponderance
at the
inauguration to take the entire leadership of the Senate following the
opening
created by the APC leaders in convening a meeting of senators-elect at
the same
time fixed for the election of the leaders of the National Assembly.
Furthermore,
the PDP dismissed as frivolous, Senator Kwakwaso's unfounded and
unsubstantiated claim that PDP's agenda's is to irritate President Muhammadu
Buhari and put hurdle before him. It recalled that it had repeatedly assured that
it would help the government by providing robust and constructive opposition
that would help his government unlike APC's hate opposition, adding that such baseless complains would
not stop Nigerians from holding the APC-led federal government responsible on
its campaign promises.
The party
also described as laughable, Senator Kwankwaso's claims that under President
Buhari, everything is working well in the country and wondered why he failed to
give the credit for the stability in the nation to whom it is due, immediate past
President Goodluck Jonathan whose conceding of power even amidst electoral irregularities
brought the conducive atmosphere the nation is enjoying today.
It noted
with delight the statesmanly stance of President Buhari who at the just concluded
African Union (AU) summit in South Africa eulogised former President Jonathan
for taking the unique action that brought calm to the country.
On
Kwakwaso's claim of giving 1.9 million votes from his state and over 750,000
votes from his senatorial zone to Buhari and APC, the PDP said it does not want
to join issues with him on that because of its decision to toe the path of
peace except to note the electoral ridicule of 1.9 million voters, with no
single void vote, a record for the Guinness Book.
The PDP therefore
advised Senator Kwankwaso and others like him who may still be aggrieved about
the turn of events at the National Assembly to see it as democracy in action
and note that the two major religions in the country hold that only God gives
power and that if He did not destine that Senators Bukola Saraki and Ike
Ekweremadu, would emerge President and Deputy President of the 8th Senate
respectively, it would not have happened.

When will this fight end mbok?..................politicians self..........na dem sabi.
As usual"Kwankwaso guard your utterances" and they ended up sounding worse than the Kwankwaso.
PDP shouldn't gloat over what happened at the National Assembly yet, because APC would reconcile with the Senate president and the speaker, and it will dawn on PDP they were merely used to disrespect the APC party authority and nothing more.
Change is here!

'Do not associate with those who always insist upon change.' (Proverb 24:21)
Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso is a confuse man he should stop complaining about what has happen in the national assembly and concentrate on fulfilling their so called election promises
Kwankwaso, one of those notorious Northern politicians that thrive on hate. As for his vying for President of Nigeria, only Kano will vote for him. Mmchew!

#TeamBlessed#
Yes they have mouth • APC in govt , PDP in power.
APC playing opposition since AD
wat do u know about politics @igwe y not shotup if u don't know wat to say or must u comment on every post?
exactly my thoughts @Redote
’m not a member of any political party, but if I were in the APC, I will begin a campaign to expel this man immediately from the party. What exactly is his reason for joining the APC? He joined to gain the presidency and having failed, he wants to make himself the obstacle that must be appeased at all times by those who had toiled to establish the party before he came. Of course, disagreements are par the course in politics, but if he is genuine about his membership of the APC, why is he still going with the notion of some G-5? Did he and these decamped governors join APC to establish within it a PDP? Why can’t he act as a leader and patiently explore all avenues within the party to help resolve any disagreement? Why is he choosing this time when the presidency and the party should be calling on everyone to pull together as one to tell tales publicly to the press about who is undermining who within the party?
From what I’ve observed, all Rabiu Kwankwaso is interested in is for there to always be division in the party, so he can have an opportunity of proving one point or the other in conspiracy with some others. He’s always scheming and scheming and not for public interest. He cannot seem to get over the fact that his fellow governors within the APC opted to support Buhari during the party primaries instead of him. He does not talk like a patriot and he does not talk like a leader. He is always talking like someone versed in the art of undermining a collective mission once his own interest is necessarily compromised a little for the benefit of all. He is not the type of politician that Nigeria needs at this point. He’s too mentally tied to the politics and the sentiments of the past. He’s all gimmickry, no belief.
Bonario......I don't knw if it's the same politics we r following oooo.....APC has no choice but to reconcile with the Senate President & Speaker... All PDP is saying is that for a Man Like kwankwaso is a shame that he is still in pain week after d smoke has cleared 4rm d House of Assembly elections... try to look @ d fact & not be one sided..its people like you that I pray for that needs change....
Correct geh! Fine comment.
