Ahmadu Fintiri, the governor of Adamawa State and chairman of the PDP National Convention Committee, has stated that as the party gets ready for its national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, party unity is more significant than interpersonal ties.
In an interview with reporters on Wednesday, Fintiri brushed aside Nyesom Wike and his supporters’ attempts to sway the procedure, emphasizing that no group would be permitted to sabotage it.
“I won’t prioritize my personal relationships over this gathering. We must stop bringing up our problems in the media; it is too humiliating. Genuine party men settle disagreements within. Blackmail or lack of discipline will not be permitted to sabotage this process.
He gave party members his word that the convention committee would conduct an open, legitimate election in which every candidate would have an equal chance to run.
In accordance with the democratic traditions of the PDP, he said, candidates are expected to purchase forms, submit their nominations, and meet with delegates.
“We are working to ensure a smooth and credible process, and the PDP secretariat for the convention is fully operational,” Fintiri said. He cautioned against self-serving demands and urged members to prioritize the party’s overall interests over individual goals.
In spite of internal conflicts, Fintiri said he was confident that the next convention would show the PDP’s tenacity and willingness to regain national leadership.
