Stakeholders of People Democratic Party in Kano have called on the National Working Committee of the party to immediately dissolve the State executives and appoint a caretaker committee to handle the party affairs through the electioneering period.
The former Commissioner of Land and Survey under Kwankwaso, Yusuf Bello Danbatta made the call in a communique he read shortly after the Stakeholders meeting in Kano on Tuesday night.

He said that the meeting which deliberated on the state of PDP in State, observed with dismay the desperate moves by the former governor of the State, Rabiu Kwankwaso while trying to control PDP, was also promoting and building rival party, the Nigeria National Peoples’ Party at the same time.
“This desperation is aimed at sabotaging the PDP in the 2023 elections and beyond. The game plan is to deny the PDP the opportunity of fielding any candidate in the 2023 election, exploiting the time frame of the party timetable set up by the guidelines.

“By maintaining the party leadership hoised by Sen. Kwankwaso, the NCWS is leaving millions of party supporters and sympathisers in limbo,” Danbatta said.
They expressed fear that if urgent action was not taken, the party would end up without candidates thereby clearing the field for NNPP and other political parties.

They however, called on the NWC to consider the possibility of extending the period of purchasing and submission of nomination forms for Kano state by at least two weeks.
The meeting which was attended by broad sections of the party including the Kwankwasiyya group, old PDP and other political groups, called on all party supporters, members and sympathisers to remain calm as the leadership of the Stakeholders was doing everything possible within the law to ensure justice and fairness.
