The Peoples Democractic Party (PDP) in Adamawa State has declared that the defection of Senator Folashade Jackson Bent from the party to the opposition party in the state will not affect the fortunes of the party.
The party organised a one-day stakeholders meeting on Thursday aimed at ensuring that the ongoing e-registration of the party and that of Independent National Electoral commission (INEC) in the state are done by its members.
Addressing the stakeholders in the Banquet Hall, Government House, Yola State chairman of PDP, Barrister Tahir Shehu observed that the turn out for the ongoing e-registration by INEC in Adamawa was not encouraging, hence, the need for all eligible party supporters to come out and get registered.
The Senator representing Adamawa South senatorial zone where Sen. Bent left in the National Assembly, Binos Dauda Yaro said that there is no need for any worry as the party is more than ready to consolidate on the success it achieved in 2019 from the zone.
While reaffirming his membership of the PDP, he called on the party supporters to sensitize people on the ongoing e-registrations.
Sen. Dauda stressed the need for party leaders, stakeholders and members to unite and restrategize in tandem with the PDP constitution to rebuild the party ahead of 2023 general elections in the country.
Barrister Shehu charged all party leaders at local governments and wards’ levels in the state to open up and embrace new members who indicate interest to join the PDP to enable the party to continue to wax stronger in Adamawa.
Meanwhile, the state secretary of the party, Barrister AT Shuhu directed the selected ten party members from each of the two hundred and twenty-six political wards in the state comprising former elected and serving leaders to join a stakeholders forum to strengthen the party.
To curb the challenges faced by the PDP with illiterate political agents at the previous elections, the state chairman directed party leaders at the local government level to provide three names of literate card carrying members of the party at each political ward for the job.
He announced the selection of Alhaji Auwal Tukur as the new Board of Trustee (BOT) member, replacing Senator Grace Jackson Bent who defected from the PDP to the All progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa.
Sen. Dauda stressed the need for party leaders, stakeholders and members to unite and restrategize in tandem with the PDP constitution to rebuild the party ahead of 2023 general elections in the country.
The speaker, Adamawa State House of Assembly, Alhaji Aminu Iya Abbas observed with dismay the low turn out of people at the ongoing INEC e-registration as according to him Adamawa State only records less than three thousand persons that registered so far.
The chairman emeritus of the PDP in Adamawa State and Chief Adviser to the Governor, Chief Joel Hammanjoda Madaki reechoed on the significance of PDP e-registration and called on the party stakeholders and supporters to strategize for the task ahead.
In their separate goodwill messages, Alhaji Jingi Rufai, Captain Altine Daniel, Hon. Adamu Momo, Alhaji Abdurrahman Bobboi and Alloysius Babadoke called on the eligible card carrying members of PDP in Adamawa to avail themselves for the PDP e-registration and that of INEC.
