According to the report from the Vanguard, The spokesman of Katsina State PDP, Lawal DanAde, has recently addressed statements made by individuals not affiliated with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a press briefing. Specifically, DanAde expressed his dissatisfaction with comments made by Senator Tsauri, Salisu Yusuf Majigiri, and Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa.
He said, “These are people who have lost political relevance and couldn’t even deliver their polling units. Both Mustapha and Tsauri lost their polling units, wards, and local governments to the APC. They have nothing to show as a way of supporting the fortunes of the PDP. It is clear to all even the politically naive that Majigiri is working for the APC, He is therefore not qualified to talk about our party."
DanAde emphasized that those outside the PDP are considered the opposition, highlighting the need for unity within the party. He criticized the trio for their remarks, stating that they are contributing to the challenges faced by the PDP in Katsina state.
In response to allegations made by the senators regarding the influence of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike on the party, DanAde defended the party's leadership. He cautioned against actions that could jeopardize the PDP's prospects in the upcoming 2023 governorship election in the state.
DanAde pointed out the lack of political influence and support displayed by the individuals criticized, noting their losses to the APC in previous elections. He questioned their dedication to the PDP and accused them of engaging in detrimental behavior.
Acknowledging Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke's contributions to the Katsina State PDP, DanAde praised individuals who actively support the party's goals. He challenged those engaging in what he described as mercantilist politics to provide evidence of their commitment to the party's success.
DanAde defended the role of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike within the party, highlighting his performance and contributions. He criticized PDP members who have questioned Wike's affiliations and praised his ability to deliver results.
He said, “On Wike, they alleged that he is the one controlling PDP even though he is in APC. Well, the last time I checked, Wike is still a member of our party and his performance as minister is bringing more joy to the party. In all advanced countries, people are given positions based on their ability to deliver and Wike has not disappointed as he has demonstrated such capacity."
