Fresh Crisis Looms In Kano PDP, As Deputy Director Presidential Campaign Council Rejects Appointment

Date:

There are palpable fears that fresh internal crisis may engulf the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano state following rejection of appointment as deputy director of the presidential campaign council by a Chieftain of the Party, Alhaji Al-Amin Little.

This is coming up at a time party is struggling to address the lingering political tussles regarding governorship seat and leadership of the party in the state.

Daily Telescope learnt that Little, was allegedly rejected the offer on grounds that given his political antecedents as former party state chairman and governorship aspirant accepting the offer could be seen as political demotion.

With recent happenings in the party, the presidential campaign council may likely suffer a set-back in discharging its assigned responsibilities in Kano.

However, Daily Telescope reliably gathered that the Kano PDP presidential campaign council was constituted based on the existing structures of the party in the state.

Findings indicated that PDP has four existing structures in Kano which comprises Aminu Wali-led group; Shekarau-led team, Restoration (Kwankwasiyya)-led group and Masalaha (The APC returnees)-led team.

It further learnt that the Restoration team was allocated with the slut of director of the campaign council because the group did not produce governorship candidate, while the Wali-led group which produced Sadiq Aminu Wali as governorship candidate of the party was given the position of deputy director, Shekarau-led group got the secretary slut and Masalaha team got membership sluts.

Other members of the council include Hon. Shehu Na’Allah Kura Director Field Operations, Hon. Fatihu Uba Sa’ad Director Youth, Dr. Bello Gambo Bichi Director Election, Prof. Umar Faruq Jibril Director Media and Publicity and Hon. Eng. Sarki Labaran Director Support Groups.

Also, on the list are; Hon. Muntari Janguza Director Finance, Hon. Alh. Yahaya Bagobiri Director Cultural, Hon. Barr. Hadiza Adado Director Women, Hon. Bala Bayco Director Organizations, Hon. Dr. Sule Yau Sule Deputy Director Print Media, Hon. Bello Sharada Deputy Director Social Media, Hon. Nasiru Muhammad Deputy Director Finance and Hon. Aminu Labaran Baba Deputy Director Cultural.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Telescope, Little explained that contrary to speculations his rejection of the appointment was not meant to express his anger or create a crack within the party.

“I did not declined the appointment because I am angry or because I under estimated the position. To be honest with you, before I announce my position I contacted Alhaji Atiku and explained my reasons for rejecting the appointment and he reasoned with me.

“You see, as a former party state chairman and gubernatorial aspirant for several times, I think I deserve more than a deputy director if my political antecedents could be considered. Again, with or without this position, I have so many things to offer for Atiku as far as his contest is concerned. In fact, things are too much for me. So, that is why I said somebody should be given the position of deputy director of the council in Kano so that I can concentrate on other aspects of the campaign.

“So, it is not what people are thinking; there is problem whatsoever within our party in Kano. Though I did not accept the position, that doesn’t mean I will not contribute my quota towards its success in Kano. No. I will certainly do so because we are all doing it for Atiku and the party as well,” he said.

Contacted, the Director, Media and Publicity of the Council, Prof. Umar Faruq Jibril said contrary to people’s perceptions, Little as an In-law to Atiku and critical stakeholder of the party will never do something that will jeopardize PDP presidential campaign in Kano.

“We, the stakeholders in the party know who is Little and what he is doing as far as Atiku’s contest is concerned. Little has been doing the work of the campaign earlier before it was constituted. So, it is immaterial whether he accepts or rejects the position of deputy director of the council because he has been working for Atiku and PDP.

“After all, the appointment is not what disturbing the party at present. PDP is facing enormous problems that need our attention. So, our concern is how to fix these problems ahead of the conduct of general elections.

“I wonder why people wanted to make this appointment an issue. We fully understood Little and as far as we are concerned his rejection of this appointment is not a problem and will never be one.”
