According to the report from the Vanguard, The spokesman of the Katsina State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lawal DanAde, has criticized the opposition, particularly Senator Tsauri, Salisu Yusuf Majigiri, and Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa, for their comments on the party's leadership.
DanAde expressed his displeasure following a press briefing where the senators accused the PDP leadership at both state and national levels of being influenced by Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike. DanAde responded by stating that these individuals are part of the problems affecting the PDP in Katsina State.
“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,” he remarked.
DanAde also alleged that Majigiri is working for the APC, disqualifying him from commenting on PDP affairs. He criticized them for their current complaints, stating, “These people are driven by idleness and lack of work. The politics for which they have been relying have left them long ago because none of them have control of their political base. They don’t want to accept this reality hence their current baseless ranting.”
He praised Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke for his support of the PDP in Katsina State and challenged those he accused of "mercantilist politics" to provide evidence of their contributions to the party.
Regarding FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, DanAde defended his performance and loyalty to the PDP. “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,” DanAde noted.
He also commended the national leadership of the PDP under Umar Damagum, stating that their leadership has prevented the party from collapsing. “Therefore, all the allegations raised by the trio of Tsauri, Mustapha, and Majirgiri, are baseless,” he concluded.
