Party youths: Bulama is killing Yobe PDP
Posted by: Duku Joel in Politics 25 days ago
Some youths of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Yobe State have expressed concern over the manner in which the leader of the party in the state, Dr. Abdul Bulama, is handling the party.
According to the youths, the fortunes of the party will be worse in next year’s election, compared to 2011, if Dr. Bulama, who is also the Minister of Science and Technology, does not embrace the principles of opennes and transparency like the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Muazu. Such disposition, they added, will help to bring the party back on track before the 2015 general elections.
One of the concerned youth, Abubakar Adamu, told reporters in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital that Dr. Bulama’s attitude is making the ruling APC in the state to garner more support at the expense of the PDP, whose fortunes have continued to diminish.
“I think President Jonathan needs to know that the PDP in Yobe State has ran into crisis again. We felt that our current minister who is the leader of the party in the state will carry everybody along, considering the several steps taken by our National Chairman Adamu Mauzu to salvage the party in the state. Unfortunately, Dr. Bulama is not a politician and he is not ready to learn from people on ground.
“We want the minister to realize that the party is very important to us and we are committed to working for its success come 2015, but Dr. Bulama has so far failed to provide the required leadership,” Adamu noted.
The Nation’s investigations reveal that the PDP has three factions in Yobe. Two of the factions are loyal to Adamu Waziri and Yerima Nagama, while the third group is made up of neutral persons interested in seeing sanity in the leadership of the party before next year’s general elections.
Spokesman to the state party leader, Hassan Ahmed has however refuted the accusations levelled against his principal, saying Dr. Bulama is working very hard to deliver the state for the party.
