Defection: PDP To Constitute Integration Commitee

 

Adamu Mu'Azu,PDP Nat Chairman

With the deluge of new entrants into the PDP, the party is said to be considering the option of constituting an Integration Committee.

The committee is to work out modalities to re- integrate those who decamped from other political parties to the PDP and take care of rising discomfort said to be expressed by old members of the party who are increasingly getting uncomfortable with the rising number of returnees to the party.


Most of the old members, especially those who are preparing for one elective office or the other, are feeling uncomfortable on the basis that the returnees are not returning to the party to boost its’ electoral chances but to grab the party’s nomination and contest elections

One of the aggrieved party members who spoke to this blog on condition of anonymity said:  “We are yet to understand why the party should celebrate and give so much recognition to defectors who simply came back to the party because they were frustrated out of their former parties. If they had the opportunity of realizing their ambitions in their former parties, they would not have returned. These people cannot be trusted. They will want to use the might and size of the PDP to actualize their ambitions and possibly return to their old parties”


This situation which is raging like a wild fire in the party across various States is said to have compelled the party leadership to tinker with the idea of an Integration committee which will be saddled with the task of harmonizing the interests of all party members and prevent an implosion after party’s primaries for various elective offices.
