By Muhammad Maitela, Damaturu
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Yobe State has welcomed the exit of former Police Affairs minister Adamu Maina Waziri from the party, accusing him of being a stumbling block to its progress for many years in the state.
The Syndicate reports that Waziri who has been a two time governorship candidate of the PDP and its leader in Yobe, recently joined the African Democratic Congress, a coalition of politicians seeking to oust President Bola Tinubu from power.
A statement issued by the party’s state Publicity Secretary, Salihu Mohammed Baba said Waziri was a long-standing obstacle to the unity and progress of the PDP in Yobe.
“The PDP is finally free from internal sabotage, factional manipulation, and leadership interference—factors that have historically hindered party cohesion and electoral performance in the state,” Salihu stated.
He dismissed reports suggesting the collapse or weakening of the party following the exit of the former minister, saying those peddling the rumours were deliberately doing so to misinform Nigerians.
The Publicity Secretary assured all party members that they are now more determined to pursue the ideals of PDP and have no intention of joining the coalition.
The party said its “entire structure—from wards to local governments and the state level—remains intact, growing stronger, and has no intention of joining any coalition.
“However, our doors remain open, and we welcome new members interested in joining the party.”
