The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, has said the party’s new modus operandi is to ensure that it gets popular and capable candidates who will attract votes in 2015.
Mu’azu explained that under the new plan, which could only be realised through fairness and justice, the PDP would ensure that every candidate is a potential winner.
He said: “We will make sure that we get popular and capable horses. They would be those who will take us to win elections so that when we declare you the winner of the primaries, you will win that election.”
The PDP national chairman was responding to comments at a reception organised for him at the weekend in Bauchi.
The former Bauchi State governor assured that his leadership would deepen democracy in the PDP through obedience to the rule of law.
He urged any member aspiring to any elective office in 2015 to seek the people’s support from his or her base or ward to get the party’s ticket for the polls.
Mu’azu said he would not be an obstacle to any PDP members’ aspiration, adding that he would provide a level-playing field for aspirants.
He said: “For anybody who has aspiration, Ahmadu Mu’azu cannot be an obstacle to him. I’m going to provide not only in Bauchi but also Nigeria a plain field for aspirants. What is needed for each aspirant is to go back to your village, ward, town and the people and campaign to them.”
He hailed Governor Isa Yuguda and his other counterparts in the Northeast for nominating and supporting him to become the PDP national chairman.
He said the jinx that hitherto caused a misunderstanding between him and Yuguda and their followers had been broken.
Yuguda urged the PDP stakeholders to make Bauchi a model of democracy and success for the party.
The governor advised other registered parties in Bauchi to pack out, saying they did not appear to be have any presence in the state.
He explained that everything required for running a good system and keeping the people happy was in the PDP.
According to him, the fear of God, transparency, accountability, love for one another and humanity were prevalent in the party, hence it is a role-model as it has always being.
The PDP Northeast Zonal Chairman Mohammed Girgi Lawal said the zone would soon visit President Goodluck Jonathan.
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Senator Bala Mohammed, who spoke on behalf of the ministers from the sub-region, hoped that Mu’azu would reconcile dissenting members and ensure the party’s success at the polls.
Mohammed promised the ministers’ support for the party’s national chairman, adding: “As a major beneficiary of the party, the Jonathan administration and Mallam Isa Yuguda, if I don’t support you, then I’m out of place.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
