PDP Governors Condemns Militarisation of Last Saturday Bye Elections
Governors of the People’s Democratic Party, has condemned over-militarization of the last Saturday’s bye elections.
The governors stated this in a communique issued at the end of the 2015/7th PDP Governors Forum held at Government House, Zamfara State.
The Forum through its Chairman and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed said the bye elections were characterized by wide spread irregularities, vote buying and violence.
It called on Nigerians to be more circumspect in protecting their votes.
The Forum expresses profound gratitude to members and supporters of the PDP nationwide for their steadfast loyalty in the face of serious intimidation and untold anti-democratic actions of the APC-led Federal Government in the last bye-election.
It commends the resilience of PDP leaders and members in overcoming orchestrated defections, stressing that such distractions cannot diminish the party’s strong grassroots appeal or the growing public yearning for the return of affordable living and relative security experienced under PDP-led administrations.
“The Forum urges members and supporters of our Great Party, as well as the entire citizenry, to hold fast to the vision and principles of the PDP, in spite of the growing intimidation of the opposition by the government in power. This sad situation should only be seen as the sign of the desperation of a political party with no agenda, no vision and doomed to face inevitable rejection by the masses.
“The Forum reaffirms its full commitment to the resolutions of the 101st National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of July 2025 regarding the November 15 National Convention. It urges members to resist all attempts to derail the convention by anti-party forces; but to see the PDP as the only democratic institution and viable alternative for restoring Nigeria along the path of good governance and national development.
“The Forum reaffirms its commitment to rescuing our dear country, Nigeria and Nigerians from the divisive governance style of the APC, whose policies have continued to cause more hardship and misery on the people.”
The governors particularly commends initiatives by the government of Zamfara State in significantly curbing insecurity within the state; but condemns the continued monstrous killings in Katsina, Plateau, Niger and Benue States and other parts of the country and calls on the federal government to be more responsive to the lives and properties of the citizenry.
Present at the meeting included Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed (Bauchi State), Dr. Dauda Lawal (Zamfara State),
Dr. Agbu Kefas (Taraba State), Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri (Adamawa State), Seyi Makinde (Oyo State), Sen. Douye Diri (Governor, Bayelsa State)
and Sen. Ademola Adeleke (Governor, Osun State)
