The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum (PDP-GF) have denied speculations that they do not want to call the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to order because the Forum’s Chairman is plotting to pair with Wike for the party’s 2027 presidential ticket.
Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State is the Forum’s Chairman.
The PDP-GF clarified that such speculation undermines the party’s collective efforts.
The governors highlighted the core values of the Forum and stressed the importance of unity, accountability, and service to the people which it promotes at all levels.
The Governors Forum (PDP- GF) in a statement on Tuesday by its Director General, Dr. Emmanuel Agbo said that the party is not a one-man enterprise.
The governors held that the claims were misleading and aim to distort the unity and purpose of the party and a misguided perspective that could disrupt the peace within the party.
The Forum articulated that the PDP operates as a collective body, not a vehicle for individual ambitions.
It said Governor Mohammed has been focused on fostering collaboration among party members, ensuring that the PDP remains an effective and united force in Nigerian politics.
The Forum noted that it’s Chairman and Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed views politics as a call to serve rather than a profession, emphasizing that all members should prioritize the common good over personal gain.
They addressed the need for inclusivity and reconciliation within the PDP, reinforcing that the party is committed to social justice and economic development.
The Governors’ Forum urged members to embrace a collaborative approach rather than engage in divisive rhetoric that could harm the party’s reputation and mission.
The statement emphasized that the PDP is a platform for growth, where individuals are encouraged to contribute positively without resorting to self-serving agendas.
The Forum reiterated that Governor Mohammed will not align with factions that seek to undermine the party’s unity or its commitment to the people.
The PDP-GF encouraged all party members to stay true to the principles of unity, discipline, and mutual respect, ensuring that the PDP remains a formidable force for democracy in Nigeria.
