PDP Leaders From National To State Level Must All Resign, Over Nation Wide Defeat - PDP Chief

Dr. Umar Ardo, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Adamawa State, has called on all PDP National and State leaders to resign over the wide defeat of the party in the just concluded 2015 general elections. Ardo said this was necessary so that the party can reposition itself and recapture power in the nearest future, because the present leaders caused the party’s massive failure in the just concluded elections. Below is what he said in a press statement released today;

“Against the backdrop of the disastrous performance of the PDP in the 2015 general elections, both at the national and state levels, it is my view that the PDP national leadership must take full responsibility and consequently resign their offices forthwith, if the party is to reposition itself and
recapture power in the nearest future.

“Although the candidacy of (President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu) Buhari was seemingly unassailable in the circumstances of the 2015 national politics, it is clear to all discerning pundits that the actions, inactions and choices of the party’s national leaderships were mainly responsible for the creation of these unfavourable political circumstances.

“To this extent, the party leaderships can be said to be mainly responsible for the party’s defeat. To this end, therefore, I call upon all members of the National Working Committee and the leadership of the Board of Trustees to honourably resign their offices.”
