The Kano State Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP), Alhaji Yusuf Ado Kibiya, has expressed schock over the disruption of the party’s Special National Convention in Abuja, saying it undermines the principles of democracy.
Kibiya, said this while briefing journalists in Kano on Monday.
According to him, Abuja was the venue where the National PDP’s mini-convention was to present its presidential flag.
“We condemn in the strongest terms the disruption and blocking of access to the bearer.
“The action undermines the principles of democracy, free association, and constitutional rights that Nigeria’s political system is built upon.
“Such conduct poses a threat to the peaceful, inclusive, and competitive nature of our democracy,” he said.
He urged all actors to uphold the rule of law, to respect civil liberties, and to pursue political engagement through lawful, peaceful, and constructive means.
He lamented the defection of members of the party to the APC, saying, however, that the PDP in Kano State remained
MC”solid, cohesive, and firmly rooted in our shared values and objectives.”
“Our focus remains on delivering governance that will improve the lives of Kano people, upholding democratic norms, and building a robust party structure that can win responsibly and govern effectively.
“We commend all participants for the peaceful and orderly conduct observed during the recent party primaries.
“The PDP in Kano State emphasizes internal democracy, transparency, and respect for due process.
“Our primaries reflect the maturity and discipline that our members bring to the political arena, and they reinforce the public’s confidence in our democratic process,” the chairman added.
